Cheech is a 6-year-old Akita mix with a calm spirit, soulful eyes, and a striking masked face that makes him unforgettable. Originally adopted in 2021, Cheech sadly found himself back at the shelter on 5/21/2025 when his family surrendered him. Now, this sweet and steady boy is ready for a second shot at forever. He weighs between 35–50 lbs and brings mellow, gentle energy wherever he goes.
Cheech is everything you could want in a companion: housebroken, well-mannered, and easy to walk with a loose leash. He moves at a slow, peaceful pace, taking in the world around him with curiosity and grace. This cuddle-loving guy thrives on affection—he’ll happily sit beside you, soaking up your presence and accepting every treat and head scratch with gratitude. Friendly with people and a breeze to handle, Cheech is the kind of dog who just wants to be near his humans and feel safe again.
