Cashew is a 3 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in St louis, MO, who needs $2,000 for TPLO, Wedge Recession, Soft Tissue Balance.

Cashew is a 3 year old American Staffordshire terrier! I adopted him during covid as a puppy and he has been my best friend ever since. We live in a 2 story duplex in St. Louis, Mo. At 2 years old, with the help of a nonprofit called K9’s on the frontline who help train veteran service animals, i was able to get him trained and certified as a service animal.

Cashew tore his cruciate ligament and is going to need a TPLO surgery to repair. UPDATE: While in his checkup for surgery scheduling, Cashew was diagnosed with Grade 2 MPL; (Medial Patela Luxation) a condition where his knee-cap does easily pops in and out of the normal position. He will need an additional surgery while the Dr has him opened up. Animal Emergency Clinic

I adopted Cashew during that era we spent a lot of time walking around and playing in the pond near my house. Cash loves swimming and playing in water! He is a big, happy, energetic, boy who brings smiles to everyone around him. Since graduating from Service dog training, Cash has given me more support than I could ever want and i just want to be able to give him his active happy life back.

I started this second campaign for cashew out of the need for a little more help to reach surgery. The love and support Cash received in his first campaign gave us a lot of hope for another. Cash is scheduled for his surgery at the end of august. So we have a bit of time!
