My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I`m Checkers!
I`m still learning about the world, everything is so fascinating to me. I`m a bit shy, but that`s just because I`m taking my time to figure things out. I`m sweet and curious, always eager to know more. You might notice my ears are a bit different, they`re folded, but I think that makes me unique. I love playing fetch, sniffing out hidden treats, and napping in the sun. I`m just a young pup looking for a family who will help me explore the world and teach me new things. I promise to be your loyal friend, please give me a calm loving space to let me come out of my shell. Adopt me, and let`s start our adventure together!

What I Need In a Home:
