The Cheese Litter is currently in Georgia and needs committed fosters or adopters to secure their spots on transport to Cedarburg, Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on Saturday, July 11. Without a foster or adopter, they won't be able to make the trip north.

Meet Brie, Feta, Gouda, Blue, Cheddar, Curd, and Jack! These adorable Retriever mix puppies (best guess) are the result of an accidental, unwanted litter. Their owner shared that both parents are mixed breeds. Wanting the puppies to have the best chance at happy, loving lives, they reached out for help, and now these little ones are hoping to find families in Wisconsin.

Like all puppies their age, they're full of curiosity, wagging tails, and playful energy. They love romping around with their siblings, exploring new things, playing with toys, and soaking up attention from everyone they meet. Each puppy has their own personality that's beginning to shine, but they all share the same sweet, friendly nature.

Having grown up together, these puppies are well-socialized with other dogs and should do well with respectful children. Because they are young puppies, they will likely adjust well to cats with slow, proper introductions.

These little ones are still babies, so they'll need families committed to all the fun (and work!) that comes with raising a puppy. They'll continue learning potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic manners with patience,
consistency, and lots of love.

Age: Approximately 8 weeks
Breed: Retriever Mix (best guess)
Weight: Approximately 810 lbs
Spayed/Neutered: No (too young)
Potty Trained: Not yet
Crate Trained: Not yet
Leash Manners: Not yet
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Likely, with proper introductions
Good with Kids: Yes

If you've been thinking about adding a puppy to your family, one of these cheesy cuties could be the perfect match. Apply to foster or adopt today and help Brie, Feta, Gouda, Blue, Cheddar, Curd, or Jack secure their ride to Wisconsin!

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 retriever is a beloved dog breed known for its friendly demeanor, intelligence, and exceptional ability to retrieve objects. With a loyal and gentle nature, retrievers make excellent family pets and are popular choices for service and therapy work. These dogs excel in obedience training and activities such as agility and hunting. Recognized for their shiny coats and moderate size, retrievers come in various colors including golden, Labrador, and Chesapeake Bay. Their overall versatility and affectionate personalities make them cherished companions in many households.
