Story

Cheeto is a 5 year old mini Aussie, boarder collie, blue heeler mix and is the sweetest, energetic dog there is! He loves long walks and running anywhere he can, especially when the zoomies hit! He needs lots of room to move around and someone around to cuddle with. He’s a real quiet dog that hardly ever makes a sound but LOVES attention, pets, and playing! He doesn’t play with toys, and is real picky about what treats he likes. When a group of kiddos are around they’ll love playing with him, but to him, he’s hard at work herding, never biting, just pushing them where they need to go.
