Say hello to Cheddar, our lovable 2–3-year-old lurcher with a huge personality and an even bigger zest for life!

Cheddar came into our care after being rescued from the stray pound, so unfortunately we have no information about his previous life. What we do know is that he's a happy, energetic boy who's ready to make up for lost time.

This handsome lad is a real firecracker, with boundless enthusiasm for life and a love of adventure. He absolutely adores people and believes everyone he meets deserves the biggest, most enthusiastic greeting possible! We're working on helping him channel that excitement.

Cheddar can walk nicely on the lead, but he's easily distracted – especially if there's something fascinating nearby... even a leaf blowing in the wind can steal his attention!

His favourite place is the playpen, where he can race around deciding which toy to play with first. Once he's made the all-important decision, he's more than happy to entertain himself with his chosen prize.

He is good with other dogs, although he can be very excitable when meeting them. He has not been cat tested and, due to his exuberant nature, we're looking for a home without young children.

Cheddar is dreaming of an active family to go on plenty of adventures, get some training and find his spot on the sofa!
