My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am a graduate of Peace Academy. In this program, I learned advanced skills to manage my energy. I am also currently enrolled in Waifs with Wisdom, where I am learning different commands. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I love to be around people and lean in for pets!
- I already know lots of basic commands!
- Chews, Kong-like feeders, puzzle toys—help to keep me entertained!
- I’m smart and food/treat motivated.
- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information.

My home needs are:
- I must go to a home that already has another active and playful dog!
- A fenced yard is a must for me! I need a secure area to run around and release my energy.
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life!
- If you have kids in the home between 6 and 9 years old, I will need to meet them to make sure they enjoy my enthusiasm for life!
- Wayside recommends I go home to an active home.


Hi there! I’m Cheddar, and I absolutely love being around people. There’s nothing better than leaning in for pets, belly rubs, and snuggles. I’ll soak up all the love you have to give! I’m smart and food-motivated, so I pick up on new commands and tricks quickly, and treats are always a great way to make learning fun for both of us.

I’m a friendly and adaptable pup who can do well in a variety of homes. Whether you’re looking for a playful companion, a cuddly friend, or a little bit of both, I’m ready to join in on the fun. I just ask that if you have a dog at home, you bring them along to meet me first, we want to make sure we can be buddies and get along great!

If you’re looking for a loving, smart, and affectionate companion, I might be your perfect match. I promise to bring happiness, tail wags, and plenty of snuggles into your life. With a little time to bond and maybe a few treats along the way, we’ll be best friends in no time!

Love, Cheddar

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
