Meet Cheese - A Fun-Loving Pup with a Big Heart and Even Bigger Energy!

Cheese is an almost 1-year-old Boxer bursting with personality, playfulness, and charm! This goofy, curious boy was originally found abandoned in a hay field, and after a few adventures, he's back with us and ready to find his perfect forever home.

Cheese is full of life-he loves to play, explore, and make his people laugh with his silly antics. He's smart, affectionate, and happiest when he's got a job to do or room to run. He was recently returned because his energetic personality was just a little too much for the other pets in the home-but that's nothing unusual for a young Boxer boy!

He'd do best as the only pet. With continued training, consistency, and plenty of love, Cheese is going to make an incredible lifelong companion.

If you're looking for a happy, goofy, loyal pup who's ready to fill your days with fun (and a little bit of chaos in the best way), Cheese is ready to steal your heart!

Did you know YHS lets local community members FOSTER TO ADOPT?
That's where you and the pet make sure you're a good fit for one another by having a fun sleepover prior to finalizing your adoption. It's a win-win for everyone! Just ask our front desk staff about how it works.
