Five-year-old Kash (DOB 5/25/2018) is a happy go-lucky treeing walker coonhound mix. Kash is crate-trained, potty-trained and dog and cat friendly! Kash enjoys playing with squeaky toys, walking on greenways and chilling on the couch. Kash currently lives with two female dogs (lower energy) and has spent lots of time with one male cat.
Kash was adopted from animal control as a puppy; however, on December 20, 2023, Kash found himself back at ACC through no fault of his own. Unfortunately, Kash returned to ACC heartworm positive and severely overweight. In January, Kash went into a foster home and prepared for heartworm treatment (2/28/24-2/29/24) which required a six-week crate rest. Now, Kash has completed his crate rest and is ready for his forever home!
Kash is on a healthy diet and has managed to lose some weight. Kash will require a home dedicated to keeping him healthy. Kash would do well in a variety of settings, including an apartment. Kash likes his space at times and is not comfortable with people invading his space when he wants to rest so he would do better in a house without younger children. In terms of his health, he should be re-tested for heartworms in August of 2024 and he has a high likelihood of being heartworm negative. Kash does show signs of degenerative joint disease in both hips so while he loves walks, he is not well-suited for higher-intensity activity. I love having Kash as a foster, and I am excited for him to find his forever home!
