Description:
Just look at that sweet face!! Cheeka is a wonderful young, mixed breed little girl with lots of soft, fluffy fur; full of snuggles and love to give. Cheeka found herself stuck in a kennel at the pound, lonely, scared and confused. Someone really nice gave her one holiday wish and she got a second chance at life! She took the long journey to MN, where is now in foster care through MARS. She currently lives with 3 resident cats and has made friends with each of them. Cheeka is doing well with potty training – she is on a potty schedule and hasn’t had an accident in the house yet. She hasn’t been destructive in the home and is quickly learning what is and is not acceptable behavior. Leash walking is coming along well and she enjoys a quick walk as well as play with toys in the house to cover her energy needs. Cheeka has even picked up a few new tricks she would love to show you… especially if you have a treat! The majority of the day, you can find Cheeka snoozing on the couch, or close behind you – checking to see what you’re up to. Cheeka stays in a wire crate overnight and when her foster parents are out of the house. She is quiet and relaxed in her crate and loves the Kong treats that her foster parents put in there. Cheeka will need regular brushing to keep her coat looking great. Cheeka is overall a very easy pup to have around. She is thankful and excited to get a second chance at life… and is hoping you are the one who gets to spend it with her!
Do you have room in your hearts & home for this little girl? Cheeka is hoping you are the one! Cheeka would do great with any family or individual.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
