About Cheese

Meet Cheese, a remarkable three-year-old Chihuahua who weighs just ten pounds. This little acrobat has turned challenges into flair—after losing one of his back feet, he expertly maneuvers on his two front legs, showcasing a spirit that is truly inspiring. Cheese arrived at the rescue after being found near a busy expressway. Thankfully, he's now fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has been treated for heartworms. His injury healed long ago and doesn’t slow him down; he navigates uneven surfaces with ease and loves to launch himself off beds, claiming his territory without hesitation. Cheese has an engaging personality, is thoroughly house trained, and demonstrates remarkable recall skills. He thrives on companionship and prefers to stay close to his human, often seeking hugs and love. Surprisingly sociable, Cheese gets along well with dogs, cats, and even other creatures like parrots and pigs. He is generally calm but will alert you if there's a visitor at the door—taking his home security duties seriously despite being a tiny ten-pound watchdog. He has some sensitivity around his remaining foot, so respecting his space is essential. In return, he offers unconditional love and companionship, ready to bond with a forever family that appreciates his uniqueness. If you're ready to open your heart, Cheese is eager for you to become part of his story. Make a difference in Cheese's life and yours—apply today!
