There are lots of dogs and puppies across Leeds that are looking for their forever homes, centres operated by Dogs Trust, the Blue Cross and other animal charities temporarily take in these animals so they can live a happy life ahead of meeting their new family. However, some dogs stay longer than others, this is often due to behavioural issues and what situations they have gone through leading them to be put up for adoption.
Cheeka is an eight-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross. She has a broken heart after losing her owner and her home, her owner sadly passed away and since she has been moved into the centre in Leeds and has been waiting a long time for a new family.
Cheeka's owner had a special card, that meant if anything happened to the family or current owner then she was automatically placed into the system. This card is usually most popular with those who live on their own or older people.
