Regret Adopting a Dog? How to Handle Adoption Blues
Feeling adopter's remorse after getting a dog? It's normal. Learn why it happens, get practical tips, and find out how shelters can help you overcome dog.
Meet Cheddar, a truly unique and hilarious 5-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier with a personality as rich and satisfying as his namesake. Found as a stray, this mild-mannered 'micro bully' is full of ooey-gooey goodness, always ready to melt into you for a snuggle. His charmingly cartoonish appearance, with a beefy upper body and dense little frame, is matched only by his velvety soft, red brindle coat. Cheddar is an absolute delight, known for his sharp wit and funny antics like doing headstands, always eager to be part of the action.
As an American Pit Bull Terrier, Cheddar embodies loyalty and affection, craving attention and forming strong bonds with his humans. He is exceptionally housetrained and thrives on close companionship. While he generally ignores other dogs, he prefers to soak up all the human affection, making him an ideal 'only pup' in a home where he can be the center of attention. He can get a little too excited around feline friends, so a cat-free environment would be best for this big cheeseball.
Cheddar is looking for a family who desires a true 'Velcro dog' committed to a forever home. He needs companions who love to share space, whether on the couch or in bed, and are ready for a deep, lasting bond. Given his lack of history, a home with older children or no kids would be most suitable for this affectionate and funny guy. Cheddar has been bounced around and is ready for his final, loving destination where he can truly set your mind at ease with what a fantastic companion he is.
