My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cash-male-neutered- 3 1/2 years Cash was surrendered to us in March 2024 to find a new home. He is one of the happiest, and most loveable dogs! Cash loves cuddle time, and he really enjoys belly rubs. He melts when you pet his chest, and he would stay there all day for attention. He's a dog who is eager to please, and knows a few commands such as sit, come, down and here but he can be a tad stubborn if he's distracted. He also heels well on leash which is wonderful! Cash is housetrained and rarely has an accident which is a bonus! He is fond of exercise and can keep up if you like to be active. If you like going for walks or hiking, he would love to join you! He also loves playing in our fence with toys and he likes to carry them around. Another great trait of Cash is that he likes lounging around and hanging out. If you love a dog that likes car rides, Cash is a great choice. He loves to hang out and nap in the car. He's rather an adaptable dog. Cash is currently around 70 pounds so he's not gigantic but he's not a small dog either. Cash is not particularly fond of other dogs after being adopted and returned for being reactive towards them with his new owner, however, he is doing really well with our onsite trainer in learning coping skills and avoidance skills. He walks politely on leash and can be walked with other dogs and co-exist with other dogs in his presence if you are diligent and remind him not to be reactive. He bonds with someone with leadership skills very quickly and likes to heel and focus on his tasks. We are requiring his new adopter to take a minimum of two classes (costs reduced for his new adopters) with our onsite trainer to make sure you have the skills you need to continue and follow through with his training. If you would like to meet Cash and have a dog and cat free home, let's see if he would fit into your family! Apply to meet him at www.cchswi.org

Adoption Policy

Anyone wishing to adopt an animal must fill out an application and go through a screening process.
Applications are available either at the shelter or on-line.
Every effort is made to match the family and animal who are right for each other.
Same-day adoptions are allowed on already altered dogs and cats. Dog owners should bring their dogs to meet the adoptable dogs. You should have veterinary references available for your current pets. You should also have landlord information available, a leash/collar for dogs and a cat carrier for cats. If you pick an animal that has not yet been altered, you will have to wait for the surgery to be performed before taking it home.
CCHS has the right to deny any application for any reason.
