Cash

Meet Cash: A Loyal Companion Looking for His Forever Home

Cash is a young, energetic, and incredibly intelligent Belgian Malinois who is on a mission to find his perfect forever home. At just one year old, he has already been through a lot in his short life, but his resilient spirit shines through every day. Rescued from a shelter in Los Angeles, Cash is ready to leave his past behind and embark on a journey with a new family that understands his unique needs.

Personality & Temperament

Cash is an apprehensive and cautious dog, especially in new situations. He may take some time to warm up to new environments and people, so potential adopters will need to be patient and willing to build trust with him slowly. Once he feels comfortable and secure, he shows his true personality—loyal, affectionate, and protective.

While Cash may be shy at first, his heart is full of potential for a loving bond. He can get along with other dogs, but introductions need to be gradual to ensure positive interactions. His playful side comes out when he’s around other dogs he trusts, but it’s essential to take things slowly, as a rushed introduction could cause unnecessary stress.

Special Considerations
    •    Separation Anxiety: Cash suffers from severe separation anxiety, which means he struggles when left alone. This will require adopters to be prepared for his needs in terms of training, patience, and time. It’s important to provide him with a routine and gradual desensitization to help manage his anxiety when left alone.
    •    Medium Prey Drive & High Food Drive: As a Belgian Malinois, Cash has a natural prey drive and a strong food drive. This means he’ll do well in a home that can provide structured mental and physical activities, such as puzzle feeders, obedience training, or agility exercises. A home that can keep him engaged will help manage his instincts and give him the structure he craves.
    •    Previous Belgian Malinois Experience Required: Belgian Malinois are high-energy, working dogs with specific needs. As such, Cash would thrive in a home with previous experience with this breed or similar high-drive dogs. His new family will need to be committed to providing him with the training and stimulation he needs to feel secure, happy, and well-behaved.

Ideal Home for Cash
    •    Experience with High-Energy Dogs: Cash needs a family who understands the Belgian Malinois breed, particularly their need for mental and physical stimulation. A history with working breeds or high-energy dogs is essential.
    •    Patient & Calm Environment: Given his apprehension and fear of new situations, Cash needs a patient adopter who is committed to helping him acclimate to his new home at his own pace. A quiet environment where he can settle in comfortably is ideal.
    •    Other Dogs: Cash can get along with other dogs but requires slow introductions. A home with another calm, well-socialized dog could help him adjust, but it is not a necessity.
    •    Secure Yard: A secure, fenced-in yard is ideal for Cash to run and play in, helping to burn off some of his high energy.

Adoption Requirements
    •    Prior Belgian Malinois Experience: This breed requires a unique approach, and potential adopters must have prior experience with Belgian Malinois or similar high-energy breeds. Cash will thrive in a home where his needs are fully understood and met.
    •    Commitment to Training: A structured training plan is crucial for Cash’s success. His adopter will need to be committed to helping him build trust and learn appropriate behaviors, especially around separation anxiety.
    •    Patience & Compassion: Cash may need time to warm up to new people, and his separation anxiety may take time to address. His new family must have the patience to guide him through these challenges, ensuring a lasting bond.
