About Cherokee

Cherokee is a charming 9-year-old female Chiweenie, weighing around 15 pounds. She’s a sweet girl but can be shy, forming strong attachments to her person. Cherokee follows you closely, loves to cuddle, and enjoys a good nap beside you. With a distinctive Doxie personality, she’s smart and vocal, with a playful appetite for food. Her long and low body means she requires care to avoid jumping from heights, and expect to keep her toenails trimmed regularly. While she doesn’t require a fenced yard, walks are a must, and she would thrive in a home without small children—those over 10 would be best. Cherokee is house trained and spayed, with vaccinations up to date. She doesn't get along with cats or dogs, so she would prefer to be your sole companion. If you love dressing up your dog, she’s eager to don dresses and sweaters! If you’re interested, please email to request an application. Fostered through Smidget Rescue in Covington, WA, Cherokee is ready for her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
