Meet Cherry! This one-year-old Maltese blend weighs 12 lbs. This shy sweetheart may be a young dog, but she has an old, mellow soul who just wants to chill with her person and dog friends.
General Behavior: Cherry relies very heavily on her fur siblings to know how to be a dog. She loves to cuddle and curl up with other dogs and will follow them everywhere. She is very timid around human strangersparticularly men and children but she has bonded with her foster mom and is very loving and gentle with her and loves to sleep curled up on her pillow at night. She follows her person around from room to room but she also sleeps most of the day.
Likes & Dislikes: Cherry is a dog's dog who loves playing and snuggling with other pups. She's also a total couch potato who loves to snooze in a warm spot all day long.
Training: Cherry has the makings of a little lady if she has a patient family who can work on building her confidence. She is housetrained if let out frequently, but she's still not used to walking on a leash or riding in a car. Once she trusts you, she'll sleep curled up next to you in the people bed at night.
Medical: Cherry is a healthy girl! She just needs her monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
Other Animals: Cherry adores other calm, laid-back dogs and MUST have a home with at least one other doggie pal who can show her the ropes. She hasn't been observed around cats, but her foster thinks she'd be OK with them.
Children: This shy sweetheart needs an adults-only home.
Home: Cherry needs a single-family home and will require a securely fenced yard where she can explore and do her business. (She doesn't like doing her business while on a leash: she's a delicate lady!)
Grooming: As a Maltese blend, Cherry will need regular brushing, plus grooming every 6 to 8 weeks.
Overall: Cherry will make a wonderful, loving companion for a very special family who can raise her and love her forever and earn her trust.
