Cheesey Tango, or Tango as his friends call him, is a 50-pound pit bull mix born on August 23, 2023. He’s earned the nickname "Cheesey" for his infectious grin and "Tango" for the confident, intentional way he moves through life. Tango is a dog of quiet charm, possessing a rare blend of steady confidence and composure. He’s athletic, alert, and energetic, but in a way that feels settled and aware. Tango has a way of making any space feel more grounded just by his presence.
He's a dog who pays attention to his surroundings, reads the room, and naturally draws people to him. Tango is social, friendly, and genuinely enjoys the company of both people and other dogs. He thrives with slow, respectful introductions and prefers calm, appropriate interactions over chaotic environments. In group settings, he is polite, self-controlled, and drama-free.
Tango has completed a six-week group obedience class, where he excelled. He knows basic commands like sit, down, stay, heel, place, and leave it, and is close to mastering them. He is highly food-motivated, making training sessions engaging and fun. He loves to learn, enjoys having a purpose, and takes pride in doing things correctly, whether it's walking politely, settling calmly, or signaling it's time for a treat.
At home, Tango is a pleasure to live with. He happily uses his crate, settling in with a chew toy or his favorite ball. He is not destructive, respects his personal space, and knows how to relax when the day winds down. Despite his composed demeanor, Tango is a devoted cuddle enthusiast who loves being close to his people.
Tango walks well on leash, is fully potty trained, and crate trained. He adjusts to new environments smoothly after a brief period of observation. His medium energy level makes him a versatile companion – happy to go for walks or play, and equally content to relax.
