My story

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

Hello! My name is JOHNNY `JR` CASH ! My foster said I look exactly like the original `Man in Black` Mr. Johnny Cash! Like Johnny Cash, I`m soulful with a big heart and can bring a lot of happiness and wisdom to any home. I am a 1-year-old 20lb male chihuahua small terrier mix with a athletic muscular build, a super shiny jet-black coat and a little white cross on my chest. I was found by a nice San Antonio Bike Police Officer tied to a park bench at Travis Park. I don`t know what happened to my owner. Luckily, I am in good shape and good health, so whatever happened to them I can say they treated me well. I am social when I meet new people and kids, happy to meet other dogs and want to play with them (unknown around cats), and have an overall very happy disposition. I`m doing very well on the leash when I go for walks which I love to do. I just like to sniff and explore areas. Living downtown is great because there is always somewhere to go and people to meet. The horses intrigue me because they are sooooo BIG with such little feet. I bark my questions about their hooves whenever they trot by. I`m a medium energy dog with a high a play drive, but generally very quiet. My foster says if I could talk, I`d have a deep and gravelly voice like the Johnny Cash. He`s been teaching me the lyrics to RING OF FIRE, GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY and A BOY NAMED SUE. The singing really relaxes me. I`m a great passenger on truck rides too, I just like to watch the world zoom by. I like to give hugs. Right now, I`m practicing leash training and this week I`ll be working on my commands like sit and shake. If you are looking for someone to listen to you, I`m really good at that too. As I get older, I`m sure I`ll be able to give you great advice! Given my colors and my ears, there is a rumor going around that I have a striking resemblance to a certain all black BAT based masked vigilante who stalks criminals at night and dispenses street justice in San Antonio. Sure, I am handsome and muscular, and I do have a cool suit but that is NOT me. It`s just coincidence that we both have a utility belt, we both have a symbol on our chest, and we both have a cool armored jet powered car hidden in a cave somewhere. But that`s where the similarities stop. The important part is that our streets are safer. If you`d like to know more OR want to set up a date, contact ACS and my foster will make it happen!
