Meet Cashew

Adoption Fee: $700 Meet Cashew – The Fluffiest Nut You’ll Ever Love Age: 5 years Breed: Maltipoo Weight: 20-something pounds of velvety vibes Shedding: Nonexistent. Your black pants are safe. Do you ever wish your emotional support animal came with curls, manners, and a love of brunch patios? Say hello to Cashew, a 5-year-old Maltipoo who’s equal parts lap warmer, adventure buddy, and soft little weirdo. Rescued from a shelter, Cashew has traded in his hard shell for soft beds, sunny walks, and daily cuddles—and now he’s ready to bring the love home to you. A Day with Cashew: The Ideal Vibe Wake up around 7:30, stretch dramatically, maybe hit snooze if you’re game Head out for a walk (his absolute favorite activity—he struts like he's in a dog cologne ad) Breakfast, followed by serious lap-time or sunbathing in a golden kitchen beam Afternoon playdate with neighbor pups (he’s basically the dog park mayor) Evening walk, some plush toy antics, then dinner and full snuggle-mode activated Sleeps wherever you are—on top of the bed if you're cool, under it if he's feeling cozy-cave mode Cashew’s Top Skills: Walks great on a leash (until a squirrel appears—then all bets are off) House-trained and polite indoors Fantastic with other dogs—respectful if they’re not playful, prancey if they are Good with kids, including toddlers and teens Certified cuddle expert: prefers full-body contact or at least being within belly-rub distance Professional den-builder (he loves burrowing under beds and rugs to create his dream studio apartment) Picture This: You're working from home. Cashew is under your desk, occasionally poking his head out to remind you how cute he is. You're at an outdoor café. Cashew is lounging under the table, charming everyone in a 10-foot radius. The server asks if he can be featured on their Instagram. You're watching Netflix. Cashew is on your chest, sighing dramatically like he just finished a novel. You drop a snack. Cashew appears. The snack disappears. The circle of life continues. Cashew’s Ideal Home: A person (or people) who don't work away from home 8-10 hours a day A second playful dog to be his fluffy sidekick A comfy bed to sleep in at night (preferably yours) Frequent walks where he can show off his prance and sniff 600 plants or a great backyard with said plants A cozy den area where he can burrow and plot world domination (or nap) Bonus Features: Doesn’t chew your shoes Doesn’t bark at strangers Has a “Cashew prance” that has been known to cure sadness Somehow gets along with every dog ever, even the cranky ones Gives off “let’s grab a latte then go wander a bookstore” energy Cashew isn’t just a dog—he’s a lifestyle. Adopt him if you’re ready for long walks, longer cuddles, and the kind of company that makes even a trip to the mailbox feel like an event. Ready to take home this sweet little snack? He’s waiting, tail wagging, probably curled up under a blanket.
