✅ patient, affectionate, loving
✅ loves being brushed
🥺 shy until she gets to know you
🌾 needs to live on acreage
Cheesecake is a 6 month old Maremma, a guardian breed dog who are bred to live on space and protect livestock from large predators. Part of their genetic makeup is barking at threats to spook them away, which means she isn’t suitable to live in a backyard or apartment
Maremmas are naturally suspicious of strangers but are the most wonderful, loyal friends to their family!
She loves to be inside with her family and outside playing with other dogs, she is really easy to love and to live with
If you are on space and want a loveable companion she might be the perfect fit 💗
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
