Cheeto's Story

Meet Cheeto - Your Adventure Buddy & Couch Companion<br/>(Located on Orcas)<br/><br/>Cheeto is a big-hearted, big-smiling red heeler mix with a goofy streak a mile wide. Originally from Texas, where he was found as a stray, this handsome guy has spent the past five years being a loyal, loving friend. His favorite things? Chasing his big red Jolly Ball, cuddling on the couch for a good movie, exploring hiking trails, and playing along the beach (he'll splash, but swimming isn't his thing). He's crate trained, polite in new spaces, and listens well at home.<br/>Cheeto is looking for a special home that understands his needs. He can be dog reactive, so no dog parks for this guy, and he prefers not to meet new people while on a leash. His recall isn't perfect, so a secure yard is ideal. He'll thrive as the only pet in a calm, adult home--no kids or cats--where he can be the center of attention.<br/><br/>With the people he loves, Cheeto is all in--loyal, affectionate, and eager to share his goofy charm. Letting him go is heartbreaking, but it's the best choice for his future. We'd love for him to stay on the island, but finding the perfect match is what matters most.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a devoted companion to share both your adventures and your quiet nights, Cheeto just might be your guy.

Orcas Animal Protection Society's Adoption Policy
Our shelter is located on Orcas Island in Washington State. Our adoption policy is to always try to find a suitable home for a pet here on island before looking else where. If a suitable owner is not found, we then widen our search to those in San Juan County and outlying areas. If you are looking to adopt from outside of the U.S., please be aware that this would be highly unlikely and only under special circumstances that we would choose to do so. 1. All animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All cats are screened for Feline Leukemia and FIV. 2. Animals are adopted only to homes where we believe they will receive good and stable life-long care. 3. Prospective adopters must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and must sign an adoption agreement. 4. No animal is knowingly adopted to a residence where pets are not allowed. 5. Adopters intending to house a dog outside must have a doghouse and a fenced area or other suitable arrangement for the protection of the dog. 6. Animals will not knowingly be adopted as a gift for another person unless she/he is a member of the immediate family or has been consulted and agrees to be available for adoption screening. 7. Potential adopters must fill out an adoption request form and complete a 24-hour waiting period before adopting a pet. 8. Potential adopters must attend a conference with an adoption counselor before adopting a pet.
