Cheese

Meet Cheese!

Cheese is a fun, playful, sweet little guy who is absolutely full of energy and personality! His tail is almost always wagging, and he is genuinely excited to see everyone — strangers, neighbors, friends, and especially his people.

Cheese loves to play and has been learning how to interact appropriately with dogs of all sizes. He has a playful attitude and is making great progress with his dog-to-dog skills. He loves being outside, going for walks, chasing squirrels, and doing zoomies around the house. He’s a highly active boy who would love a home that can keep up with his energy and continue helping him learn.

When playtime is over, Cheese is happy to curl up on the couch for cuddles with his people. He also loves napping in the sunshine and, of course, investigating any snacks that happen to be left within reach!

Cheese is crate trained and is quiet and clean in his crate at night. He may bark during the day when left crated, so he is still working on feeling comfortable when separated from his people. He is potty trained on a schedule, although he may still have an occasional accident.

He is also working on his leash manners and is making progress toward becoming a great walking buddy. Cheese already knows several commands, including sit, come, go potty, and leave it. What a smart little boy!

Cheese is still learning about the world and how to respond to different situations. He is unsure about toddlers and smaller children and is continuing to learn how kids behave and interact. He has come so far since day one and is willing to learn, making progress with the right guidance, patience, and consistency.

One of Cheese’s favorite things is hearing someone come home — he perks right up and comes running to the door, ready to greet them! He is easy to have around, brings so much joy to his people, and has a wonderfully happy, playful spirit.

Cheese is a work in progress, but he is a very good boy who is learning more every day. His ideal home will continue building on his training, provide plenty of activity and enrichment, and appreciate all the goofy, energetic, cuddly joy this little guy has to offer.

I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
