About Sheik

Meet Sheik, a loving and gentle senior looking for a new home to enjoy her golden years. At 11 years old and around 45 pounds, this spayed Canaan mix boasts striking blue eyes and a heart full of affection. Sheik thrives in a family setting and has been wonderful with children of all ages. Fully house-trained, Sheik has great bathroom habits and knows how to take care of her business outside. Given that new environments can be different, she should be kept on a leash or in a securely fenced area initially. While crate time isn’t part of her daily routine, she can handle it if needed. Sheik has a clean record with people, having never shown signs of aggression. She’s been mostly living in a home without other pets, so she’s looking for a space where she can be the one and only companion. A home without cats or small animals would be ideal for her. Though she might experience some age-related stiffness, she doesn’t take any medication and has no major health issues. Her vaccinations were last updated about two years ago. Sheik’s family is searching for a loving new home before they have to move in December. They want to ensure she is carefully matched with loving humans who will cherish her. A veterinary reference and a meet-and-greet will be requested to ensure the right fit. Sheik is cherished by her current family and will remain in her home as long as possible until a perfect match is found. If you believe you can offer her a loving place, consider submitting an adoption application. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
