CHEECH….his story
CHEECH is an amazing dog. He was so brought to me for boarding when he was 6 months old along with his brother Chong (you guessed that right?😂)
Athletic, funny and drop dead gorgeous…CHEECH should have been easy to adopt out
But he was FAILED over & over BECAUSE he is a good boy….people don’t listen….they think THEY are the exception to all the rules….and he can be protective.
🐾we have NEVER saw the guard mode CHEECH here at the rescue because we have a very regular routine, we have rules and we expect the dogs to follow them, and we are all confident & calm when working with the dogs
***the trainer he is being fostered by has also NOT seen any display of this behavior
CHEECH has went to 4 homes. NONE of them, NOT A SINGLE ONE followed the protocol for introducing a new dog & allowing decompression.
They ALL did way too much way too soon. Literally leave the rescue and took him to dog park😳to the pet store🙄to tractor supply to bath him😩 (this was one person…all on the way to their home)
Another went straight home and put him with her other male dog (big time against our guidelines they sign that they will follow & understand) they did fine the first 3 days until she grilled out with food sitting in reach and the boys off leash (our guidelines they shouldn’t even be with each other until day 3 & even then on leash!!!)
The last one kept him over 3 months. Woman was pregnant and nervous a lot about the cat. They also took him to too many places initially& has too many people (including small children) in the house around him within days of getting him. They tried to work on his guarding of the woman but her hormones & insecurity set CHEECH up to feel he needed to protect her.
I’m telling all this because CHEECH NEEDS A HOME!!! He is AMAZING!!! But he needs a home with a confident leader so he doesn’t try to protect his people.
🐾his behavior has been growling at people coming in the door, growling at the guy with pregnant wife putting him in crate, seeming at guard with new people in home.
💜🐾💜we are going to open up his file for foster & adoption again since he has been extensively tested at the trainers.
We have tried to duplicate the “stranger coming in the door” with us but he never reacts…. Because we are confident & he doesn’t feel the need to “guard” us
Sooooo we will be posting a lot about the great guy because he truly deserves a HOME. He will be an amazing dog for the right person or family.
💜🐾💜we cried when he was brought back because human failure cost him some good homes. We don’t want him failed again🥺
