Cheerios's Story

(6 months old, 36 pounds) <br/><br/>Personality: adaptable, smart, affectionate, playful, brave, sweet, energetic, friendly. <br/><br/>Meet Cheerios, a happy-go-lucky pup with a deep love for playtime and peanut butter. This sweet, curious boy loves long walks by your side, with lots of sniffing around and squirrel watching. At the end of the day, when his puppy fuel tank is spent, Cheerios will appreciate you scooping him up and carrying him to his bed. <br/><br/>Cheerios is a social butterfly and delights in meeting new people, whether they're coming over to your place or walking down the street. He's learning to tug less on his leash; his newest fashion statement, a front-clip harness, has helped tremendously. According to his foster parent, Cheerios has been very intrigued by the children he's met on walks, and will sit quietly as he accepts their gentle pets. <br/><br/>Smart and a good listener, Cheerios is quick to adapt to new places and eager to learn new things. He knows words like "sit" and "paw," and he's been practicing "lay down," "drop it," and "leave it." He's nearly mastered potty training, and he settles quickly when he goes into his crate, drifting off into a cozy nap while you're out. <br/><br/>Cheerios would thrive with an adopter who can help him channel his chatty puppy energy-his jumpy excitement when greeting new dogs, an interest in sticking his nose into your shoes-into good lifelong habits. Cheerios can switch his attention from things he shouldn't nibble when presented with an alluring dog toy, and he's ready to learn so much more by your side.<br/><br/>Are you looking for a joyful, outdoorsy, and loving new family member?

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's Adoption Policy
All of our dogs and cats are in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one, please complete our application. Profiles provide all current information we know about the dogs and cats in our care. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS APPLICATION: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal. Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. Please keep an eye on your spam folder! APPLICATIONS COUNSELOR: Applicants who pass the initial screening will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor to work with you throughout the process. REFERENCE CHECKS: If applicable, CDCK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for. CDCK will also call personal references listed on the application. RENTERS/CONDO OWNERS: For renters, CDCK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets. ADOPTION CONTRACT: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDCK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations, and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.
