Meet Cheez-It!
Cheez-It was a stray wandering on the Baptist church property near Kapa’au. He was very wary of people at first and was not particularly trusting when KARES came to his rescue. In fact, he got his name from the kids at the church who left Cheez-It crackers in a bowl in order to earn his trust. This spiked his curiosity enough to lure him in close, but not close enough to pet him—yet. After a few days, KARES was able to trap him and within 48 hours, Cheez-It had made himself at home with his foster. He now spends his days running, playing, and getting lots of belly rubs.
This youngster is between 1-2 years old and is a ridgeback mix (maybe a little bit of lab) who has turned into a very happy dog with a special place in his heart for women. He’s still learning to trust men and it may take a little while for him to warm up to new people, at first. And, believe it or not, he’s housebroken already! Cheez-It deserves a loving home where he can blossom into a well-adjusted family member.
