Cheese recently spent some time in foster, here’s what the humans had to say about her:

Cheese is a sweet and loving pup with a lot of fun spunky energy. She loves giving and receiving affection and just wants to be your shadow. She is a big fan of soft toys and wants to play tug with them if you let her. She loves soft objects so much that she thought that pillows and blankets were her toys!  Some basic training on this will be helpful (and easy!) She also enjoyed chasing a ball. She doesn’t jump much but loves leaning and doing tippy tappy’s all around you when she gets excited. Cheese is very polite when it comes to food. She sat near us while we were eating meals and never begged for food. She ate her food (and her medicine) easily. She is also house trained and is able to hold it all night and throughout the day. She easily relieved herself outside with no problem. Cheese was great with kids and didn’t seem too interested in our cat.

She just wants to be next to you and be loved, so she struggled a bit with not being allowed in the bed at night, but eventually (with enough reminders) she slept on the floor next to the bed all night. We did not have a crate, but she may do best with that at the beginning. She is a little timid in the car but had no problems with other cars or dogs while on walks. Overall, Cheese is an adorable loving dog who would make a wonderful addition to a home.
