Cheddar

My name is Cheddar and I came to the shelter as a stray in December 2009, along with my 2 other siblings (who have since been adopted). I am an 8 month old male. When I first came in, I was very timid. I didn't want anyone anywhere near me. I would hiss and swat if someone got too close. But after quite a bit of socialization, I came around pretty fast! Now I love to be held and I love to cuddle. I am at my happiest when I'm in someone's arms. Please just give me a chance and I will be sure to please.

You can tell that your dog has an earache by the way he is acting. One thing the dog will do is scratch his ear and whine, or will turn his head sideways. If this happens there could be something in his ear. Do not try to get the thing out of your dog's ear; instead call your veterinarian to treat your dogs ear.
