Story
Graham is a very sweet and playful dog! He is one of our longest residents as he has been here since September of 2022! We took him on from another rescue, so he has not known much of the comforts of a home. He enjoys walks outside, playing with toys, and sleeping in crazy positions. He loves attention from anyone and everyone. He just wants to be loved. In his ideal home he would be the only pet as he loves all the attention to himself. He would do well with kids 10+ as he doesn’t know that he is a little to large to be a lap do. He would do best in a home with an active owner. His adoption fee is covered by an amazing sponsr. Please fill out an application to meet Graham!

Story
Hi, my name is Kaya! I am an almost 5 month old Rottie mix who came to Cheyla's rescue about 3 weeks ago. I am incredibly sweet and do fabulous with kids and enjoy other dogs, but can be a bit nervous at first if the dogs are super high energy. I warm up quickly though and love getting roomies and playing with them! My foster mom says I LOVE toys and playing tug, but I am a tough chewer so I do need tougher toys so I don't chew them up. I also love cuddling on the couch after a burst of zoomies. I am crate trained and do well sleeping in my crate all night long. I sometimes cry the first night for a few minutes, but once I am used to my surroundings, I sleep through the night. I am also doing super well with house training and will run to the door when I have to go out, but I do still occasionally have an accident if you do not let me out quickly enough. I am still a puppy so I still need some basic training and would love to attend puppy classes to meet new puppy friends and learn how to be the best girl. If you are interested in adopting me, please apply on using the link below! https://cheylasrescue.org/dadopt_app.php
