Meet Checkers! Checkers is a sweet and affectionate 2-year-old Cattle Dog mix with a heart of gold. This friendly 47-pound gentleman combines the loyal intelligence of his breed with a remarkably easygoing nature. He gets along wonderfully with everyone, including other dogs, cats, and people. He is leash and crate trained, has a quiet demeanor, and has a manageable energy level—active but not overly frisky. Due to his current foster’s demanding schedule, his house training needs a more consistent routine to be perfected. Checkers has a slight limp in one back leg and a scar on his face, but these do not affect his happy and loving spirit. He is ready to bring his devoted companionship to a patient, understanding home. Checkers is located in Houston, Texas. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.
