Cheeto - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Spokane, Washington

Cheeto is a lovely little ball of fluff brought to us through a collaboration with Double J Dog Ranch with the rest of his litter

Cheeto is a Minature American Shepherd and while small he is expected to exhibit the active, athletic, and friendly nature of his breed. Cheeto is pushy and intense and while he has basic skills like crate training, leash training, and basic obedience, he loves to push the limits and needs a steady guide who applies structure to his life or he will run the show in no time.

He has a profound overbite and will come with a sponsored recheck at 8-12 months along with any necessary dental work.

Cheeto and his whole litter are truly beloved to their caretakers and we are seeking households who are looking to add a new family member who will be an inclusive part of life in all ways, properly trained and able to be a functioning and happy member of the household for their entire life.

We expect he will mature at 20-35lbs and will be versatile, able to relax at home, go for adventures, or participate in dogsports like agility and barnhunt.

Cheeto comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $300 and includes leash, collar, ID tag, medical records, food sample, and a mandatory free training lesson with our partner trainer to help both parties ace the new partnership. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.
