05/01/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/01/17 14:15 Basic Cashmere is a 7yr old female Am. Pitbull Terr. Her owner got her as a gift in 2010 and needs to relinquish her because the primary owner is physically unable to care for her anymore. Cashmere has not had any health issues or injuries and has not been to the vet in a while. Socialization Cashmere is friendly around strangers. She has spent time with children, age 12 and is relaxed and playful. She plays exuberantly with adults and children. She has spent time around other dogs in the home (her mother who passed away), and was relaxed and playful at home, but outside gets very excited and her owners have not let her socialize much because they were nervous. She has not spent time with other pets and does not have a bite history. Behavior Cashmere has been crated for most of her life and has accidents inside. She is anxious when left alone in the cage. She isnt bothered during storms or fireworks. She is friendly when someone touches her food, takes away a toy, takes a treat away, pushes her off furniture, holds or restrains her, disturbs her while sleeping, touches her feet, bathes her, when someone unfamiliar approaches her house or family member. For New Family Cashmere is described as friendly, affectionate, and playful. Her activity level is high. Cashmere is usually in the crate when her owner is home but when is let out will follow her owner around. She liked to play with chewbones squeaky toys, aand stuffed toys when she was younger but has not had any for a while because she chewed them up. She has been kept mostly indoors, despite having access to a backyard. She sleeps in her cage, locked, in the kitchen. She eats both wet and dry food once a day. She is partially housetrained and has accidents on a daily basis. She is in her cage when left alone in the house and soils herself each time. Her owners have a yard but dont let her out in it because they are afraid of raccoons, during the day. She has been crate trained and wont soil inside the crate for about 4 hours, but has stayed in the crate for up to 9 hours. She doesnt know commands. She would like brisk walks, if taken on them. She pulls hard on the leash and has not been off leash. During intake Cashmere allowed all handling and collaring. She was very friendly with the counselors and was seeking affection. In the lobby, Cashmere was getting very anxious when other dogs would pass and was barking. Owner reported that she is not good with other dogs.

A volunteer writes: As silky-soft and snuggly as her luxurious namesake, Cashmere is a stunning beauty and an absolute sweetheart who deserves only the finest things in life. She’s young at heart and in fabulous physical shape too, always eager to leave her kennel and get on with the business of meeting new friends and living life large. Whether quietly sniffing around the grass, enjoying treats and gentle snuggles (and snuffle-kisses!) in the yard or enthusiastically exploring the ‘hood’ in a harness, those baby seal eyes don’t miss a thing, and everyone and everything is worth investigating as a possible playmate. Described by her lifelong owners as ‘friendly, affectionate, and playful’, Cashmere has spent time with a 12-year-old child and lived with her own Mama for a number of years and was always relaxed and playful around them, but she’s also spent a lot of time in a crate and no time socializing with other pups. Understandably, her anxiety levels rise around strange dogs, and as she wasn’t given a chance to learn how-do-you-do manners, her new parents should be patient and understanding when it comes to working on her socialization skills. Cash certainly seems keen to check out the dogs we pass on our walk, and her tail is high and happy as we make our way round the block, stopping to take care of her business along the way. She may not have been fully house trained by her last family but she sure knows just what to do once she gets outside! Cash is a wonderful pet and so easy to handle and to love. In a home with parents who’ll guide, teach and praise her, and where she can relax and enjoy life outside a crate, this older girl is more than ready to learn some new tricks. Cashmere may not have found her throne just yet, but that’s definitely where she belongs, lounging on a cushy bed and basking in the unconditional love of a devoted forever family. Crown her Queen of your heart today!
