Cheddar - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portola, California

Say cheese! Cheddar is a confident, lovable young pup with a big personality and an even bigger love for toys, fetch, and fun. He loves checking in on everyone, making new friends, and being part of the action. Silly, independent, and full of playful energy, Cheddar keeps life entertaining.

He gets along great with both large and small dogs, and he’s even friendly with our kitty cat. Cheddar is house trained and absolutely obsessed with tennis balls. Fetch is one of his favorite games, and he’s a true toy connoisseur who’s always happy to train for treats.

He would thrive in an active home where he can play, explore, and continue learning. We think he’ll do wonderfully with children, too!
