Story
Found as a stray with her sister and her presumed mom, 6-lb. Cherish may look like a puppy, but her adult teeth suggest that she's likely to be 1-2 years old. She'll also remind you of a puppy in other ways. For example, she's dependent on being near humans or other dogs. In her foster home, if she's not trailing her foster mom, she's probably with her sister, Charmy. Like a baby duckling, Cherish will clamor to catch up if she loses sight of you, and she may not be happy if you have to leave, but she'll eventually calm down. A pretty sound sleeper, Cherish loves sleeping under the covers with her person, but be careful not to roll on her! (Needless to say, her size precludes her living with small children or anyone who can't handle her gently.) Her favorite activities? Cuddling in a lap and eating! In fact, she 'cherishes' both to the point of growling and snapping at any dog who comes too close when she's enjoying either one. Cherish is also like a puppy when she's walking on leash. She loves her walks, but the leash tries to entangle her legs, forcing her to give a pitiful look that means, 'Pick me up please!' Nevertheless, she's friendly towards new people and dogs she meets, and like Spider-Man she can climb human bodies vertically to reach their kissing zone, i.e. their face. (She also uses those Spidey skills to climb any mesh or perforated gates you might use to contain her.) Her friendliness doesn't extend to the cats and other small creatures she may encounter, however, so she would probably do best in a home without cats. Cherish is doing well with her house-training, but she'll sometimes have accidents if she can't get outdoors in time. Her other house manners are good; she doesn't chew on furniture or dig holes into the couch. However, when driving, if you don't have Cherish crated or securely tethered, the little scamp will end up in your lap! Sure, it may take a little work to turn this puppy wannabe into a princess, but you'll cherish the result.Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old.
