Did you parents ever tell you while you were growing up about the value of hard work? How working hard for something you really want makes it that much more valuable? Well, meet Cheerilee. She will need you to earn her friendship, but once you've got it, you've got a bestie for life. Cheerie is a shy gal (although she LIGHTS UP in the presence of a confident dog friend to romp with) who just needs a little help from her friends to feel comfortable with new things (and people). The great thing is, Cheerie is really good about giving clear signs when she's ready to go full bestie with you! Cheerie loves to relax in her crate, chew on toys, destroy a stuffie here and there (when supervised), and have a good run/chase/wrestle sesh with her dog friends. She's a pretty quiet and chill roommate who won't mind snoozing the day away while you go to work, so long as she has time once you get home to get the wiggles out! Meet & greets with Cheerie might take a little longer than with other dogs, but rest assured that if you can see past the shyness you will be getting a silly, sweet, wonderful dog!
