Meet Cheesecake! Local Alabama Adoption Fee: $275 Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 Just like her name, Cheesecake is absolutely irresistible! This beautiful bully girl is only about 10 months old and is full of love, happiness, and puppy charm. Cheesecake was found as a stray in Greene County, and sadly, no one ever came looking for her. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan made sure she was safe and brought her to our rescue, where she's been showered with the love and care she deserves. Now she's ready for the next chapter of her life, a forever home! Cheesecake is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives, and is ready to become someone's loyal best friend. She has never met a stranger and gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets. Whether you're looking for a cuddle buddy, a walking partner, or a playful companion, Cheesecake is ready to fill your days with love and laughter. She has so much life ahead of her and deserves a family who will cherish her forever.
