About Feta

Meet Feta from the Cheese Litter! He stands out as the fanciest pup of his bunch, and has two cheese-themed siblings, Gouda (wearing a green collar) and Swiss, both still looking for homes. Feta is a nine-week-old mix, and both he and his siblings overflow with sweetness, playfulness, and a love of cuddles. Their mom has the look of a small, apricot-colored border collie and weighs just 25 pounds, while their assumed dad was a black lab, so these pups likely won't top 45 pounds as adults. Feta is not yet house trained, but he’s eager to learn along with his new family. He gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a versatile fit for many households.
