My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Checo here! Thanks for checo’ing me out! Hehe see what I did there? I’m an older bloke who’s looking to retire in peace. Do you have a calm quiet house that I can retire in? Could you understand the changes that come with an aging dog? I’ve had enough bouncing around in my life, including coming from Cozumel. It has worn on my stability and I need a little help from medication for my anxiety. Now, I fear I am losing my vision as well. So, I need consistency and safety. I don’t much care for change or excitement in my everyday life but I would love to accompany you on walks and being out in the world. I love being busy. I have made mistakes in my past life and bit a child, but everyone that has met me understands that I was just trying to be left alone. I also really want to protect my person as we settle in for the night and try to fend off her companion. There has been so much change in her life that I am having a hard time adjusting. I get more scared at night though, I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. I like to claim my space and stuff, so I do need someone that can set some boundaries for me. Even people coming to my house is a big change that I don’t take well to, but I’m cool being in another room for alone time. I don’t mind other dogs but only the ladies please. I feel threatened by other males and will try to mark my space. Cats….. no… Kids…. Well, maybe teenagers?
I know it sounds like I’m a grumpy old man… well, I kinda am, but I have such a young spry personality you’ll be locked in! I just need mellow, calm leadership and consistency. Checo's adoption fee is $150
