  — Lauren B.

• “Cheddar is a goof ball who loves dogs and chasing balls. People make her nervous, we got her when she was past her key socializing period and are currently working on improving it. She loves swimming and thinks she is a big cat.“

  — Yasmin B.

• “Cheddar is as sweet and goofy as they come. She is about 4 years old and has pretty much never met another dog or human she didn't like (which sometimes means she isn't always great picking up on cues!). She has lots of energy and loves to run around.“

  — Maggie N.

• “Love to run and play with other dogs. Not a huge fan of balls or toys, but I may take it if I think you will chase me. Very easy going and love treats so if you have some I’ll probably come visit. Even if your dog isn’t with you!“

  — Deleted P.

• “I'm sweet and gentle, with a loyal heart. I love to play but please go easy on me, I'm a gentle floof. I was trained to make myself small since I was the biggest puppy in puppy school, so I prefer to play on my back and let little dogs jump all over me, bite my feet and attempt to herd me.“

  — Caileigh R.

• “Older guy that loves to socialize and play for brief intervals then enjoys his own time or parallel play. Being older makes him a little more selective with who he wants to play with. We haven't figured out what his selective criteria is but he will either love you or bark at you if you're too much. Prefers dogs similar in size to him.“

  — Amanda F.

• “Hi I’m Cheddar! I love chasing squirrels and other small furry things. I like going on hikes with my family and going skateboarding with dad. I’m a very vocal player, my sister Muenster and my mom and dad understand that’s just my voice but sometimes people and other dogs don’t want me to play with them because of it. I really like exploring new places with my family.“

  — Niki K.
