Hi, I’m Mini Cheddar
I came into the Sanctuary in May 2024 when I was being tied up outside. Luckily, my carers saw and intervened - they bought me inside and were told I was a stray dog found tied to a fence up the road. The Sanctuary took me in, fed me and made efforts to locate an owner. Sadly, my microchip details were out of date, so my most recent owner was not able to be located, meaning I was likely abandoned. My carers managed to re-trace some of my steps, and they have become aware I’ve been through quite a lot. I’ve had over 20 homes in my short life and unfortunately some of these homes were not thought to treat me very nicely…
My carers knew early on that with the limited time and resources at the Sanctuary, I wasn’t going to get any better and so the decision was made to send me to CBRC for some residential rehabilitation using force-free methods to help me trust people and give me a chance to have some exposure to the real world - and other people. I made great progress at the centre and my trainer was really impressed with me.
I have finished my stay at the rehab centre, and I am back at the Sanctuary where my carers are contiunuing my rehab journey teaching me how to trust again while searching for my forever home.
