Cheeto is an older guy at around 8 years of age or so, and yes, he has some lumps and bumps and warts, but they don't bother him one bit. It's just a part of becoming a wise and mature pup. Cheeto came to BAS as a stray and has a cheerful and friendly personality. He would love to share the sofa with you this weekend as you watch the big game, indulge in some yummy food, and cheer for your Super Bowl team. As we always tell you, seniors make GREAT companions and Cheeto promises to as well, so come meet him today!
According to volunteers, Cheeto:
- Enjoyed meeting new people
- Was loving and affectionate
- Walked well on leash (No or low amount of pulling)
- Did well with the car ride
Dog Day Out, 4/19/24:
Cheeto is the sweetest old man. We started out our day by taking a leisurely stroll through Burlington City Park, where he did amazing on the leash! Next, I met up with a friend to have a picnic at the lake. He LOVED meeting new people and would stand there and let them pet him forever if he could! Cheeto does well in the car, but much prefers to have someone to keep him company in the back seat :) Cheeto was very interested in the ducks and would bark at them occasionally, but responded well to redirection. He didn't seem to know any commands (we tried "sit" and "down"), but he is VERY food motivated so I'm sure he would pick up on training quickly. Cheeto needs a little work on his manners while other people are eating, but I'm sure that once he spends some more time away from the shelter, his manners will improve. Overall, Cheeto is such a sweet boy and would love to be your new cuddle buddy! Or road trip buddy! Or anything buddy!
Dog Day Out 4/10/24:
First Cheeto loved sticking his head out the car window when I picked him up! We headed to my house, where he met my dogs, Razzle and Pebbles (and the cats). We hung at the house for a bit, but decided to go meet up with the in-laws' dog, Dave the Labrador! I took Cheeto and Dave to Lowes where Cheeto got a lot of attention from one of the employees. After Lowes, I drove Cheeto and Dave back to the house where I got Razzle and Pebbles ready to go for a hike/play in the creek, behind my friend's house! The four of them loved hiking and Cheeto loved hiking and playing in the creek with the other dogs. Cheeto was well behaved for the most part (besides wanting to chase the kitties!). I also gave Cheeto a bath after he played in the creek and he did great! He enjoys chasing cats, is vocal and a bit sassy when it comes to wanting treats, and he did great with both a male and females dogs today!
Dog Day Out, 2/19/24:
Cheeto and I walked 2 miles at a steady pace. He is a great exercise partner! He walked well on the leash, did not pull, lunge, jerk at people or squirrels. I think he enjoys walks as much as I do. We picked up my 7 yo grandson from school and Cheeto was very friendly with him. I had to keepCheeto on the leash at my house because I do not have a fenced yard. Cheeto was ok with that, he loved sniffing and leaving a sent trail rather than playing with the balls. Cheeto rewarded me with many kisses throughout our hours together. I find it hard to understand why he is still in the shelter. He would make a wonderful family pet or a singles or elderly companion. He was truly a gentle boy!
