Meet Cashie
Cashie is a 5 year, male, black/white, paralyzed shihtzu. In March 2022, Cashie had an accident which left him paralyzed. His owner could no longer care for him. They did not have the financial means to get Cashie surgery or physical therapy. They were going to euthanize Cashie when another family stepped in and took him. The second family had Cashie from April 2022 until January 2023. They could no longer care for him. They contacted UnderDog and asked us to accept Cashie into our organization. They too, had considered euthanasia.

I am Cashie’s foster mom and I am writing this bio on his behalf. Taking care of Cashie is a lot of work. With that being said, it is my honor to love this dog and properly care for his needs. His personality is extraordinary. He is grateful and loves life. Cashie is happy, loves other dogs and zooms across the floor to the front door when company arrives. He greets people wagging his tail and seeking out affection. Anyone who meets him falls crazy in love.

What does it take to properly care for this dog? The most important is that he remains clean and sanitary. Cashie wears a belly band at all times. He needs to be expressed a couple times per day and urine does leak. The belly bands protect the floor. Cashie must maintain a consistent diet to keep his stool regular. Believe me, you don’t want diarrhea, nor him being constapated. Many more details about his care. Cashie has a wheelchair/cart. He loves it. He loves walks and playing in the yard with other dogs. If you have had experience with a parralyzed dog, you will understand that Cashie loves his life and doesn’t know he is handicapped. This could be a 10 year commitment, so please, only serious inquiries who live local to Sarasota/Bradenton/Venice. Please.
