Meet Cheese - Availabel For Foster or Adoption in Illinois. Will travel for the right adopter!
Male | 65 lbs | Pittie Mix | Medium Energy
Cheese is a survivor of abandonment and heartbreak—but you’d never guess that from the way he tries. He was left behind in an empty apartment when his family disappeared, with no food, no plan, and no goodbye. Understandably, he was terrified of strangers and unsure if anyone could be trusted again.
But Cheese was rescued—and everything changed.
Since then, he’s been working with a professional trainer and has made incredible progress. He’s a thoughtful, loyal dog who takes time to open up, but once he trusts you, he’s all in. He thrives in calm environments and bonds deeply with his person.
Cheese loves to run, play ball, explore, roll around happily in the grass, and hang out with his favorite humans. He isn’t a social butterfly—and he’s okay with that. He prefers one-on-one time, quiet companionship, and people who respect his need for space at first. He’s not a dog who wants a chaotic household—he’s looking for stability, patience, and belonging.
Details:
Neutered
Up to date on vaccinations
Heartworm negative
House-trained
Best as the only dog
Good with respectful teenage children
Not tested with cats
Cheese is looking for someone who will give him a soft place to land and the time to feel safe. In return, he will give you loyalty, heart, and a kind of connection that only a dog with a story like his can offer. You should watch his video to see what a ham this guy really is!
If you’re ready to earn the trust of a truly special dog, Cheese is waiting.
