Meet Cheeto. He’s a roughly 2-year-old Maltese, freshly retired from a breeder and adjusting to the world as a family dog. Cheeto is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a gentle look that wins people over. He’s a bit shy at first—his early years didn’t offer much in the way of socialization—but once he knows he’s safe, you’ll see a loyal, loving side that wants nothing more than to be close by. Cheeto thrives with other dogs and would do best in a quiet home where a confident canine pal can help show him that people are good. He’s a gentle, quiet companion who forms strong bonds and will always stay close for a snuggle. Cheeto is fully house trained and ready for his second act with a family who will give him the patient, calm love he needs to grow into his best self. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
