Story
Cheaka is looking for her furever home through Blue Ridge Bull Terrier Rescue! Cheaka is an absolute sweetheart that came into rescue when her original owners moved out of the area. She has been thriving in her foster home while her health has been sorted out. Cheaka is a goofball! She is a happy girl who is always entertaining and will make you giggle with her bull terrier antics, even when she is doing something as simple as lounging around. Cheaka LOVES her humans and is a great snuggle partner. She has a lower energy level with just a few bursts of energy throughout the day; you might see a few rounds of zoomies! Cheaka enjoys a great game of tug or fetch, and can give some attention to a chew toy or stuffed animal.
Sex: Female, spayed
Age: 9 years old
Weight: 52lbs
Dogs: Yes. Friendly, excitable with other dogs
Cats: Assume yes. Was reported by previous owner to be cat friendly. Displays no prey drive
Kids: Ages 10+, can obsess over food, be nippy, not aggressively, just overly excited
Health: UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped. DEAF. Very long, curled under nails when came into rescue. Nails have been trimmed back and pads have healed. Will still be sensitive to pressure on front right foot occasionally, pain meds and massages are best when at its worst. Dry eye when came into rescue, since healed. Some urinary incontinence that is resolved with daily Proin medication. Skin allergies that require allergy medication. Several UTIs since in rescue, they resolve with meds. Possible kidney disease in her future, but has been seen by a specialist and nothing on the near horizon, monitor. Between the incontinence meds, allergy meds, and monthly preventatives, please be prepared to spend around $175 monthly. Cheaka might seem a bit intimidating health wise, but her love is totally worth it!
Behavior: Housebroken, does not need to be crated, kept in gated off room when humans are not home, used to being in a fenced yard but will walk slowly on leash, likes to learn, eager to please, knows some hand signals, very food motivated
