Cheerio lives a happy life at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary in Erie, Colorado. Cheerio was born at a research facility. Workers discovered Cheerio stuck in his mother’s birth canal during her difficult labor. They did not know how long he had been stuck, but his body was so stressed that he could not stand or walk correctly for a week. Unfortunately, Cheerio had a twin who drowned in utero because the mother could not expel the first baby quickly enough. Cheerio was neutered and his tail docked at the research facility before they intended to send him to slaughter. A compassionate soul who worked at the research facility saved Cheerio and gave him to a friend to raise in her home. He spent the first several weeks of his life living indoors with dog and human friends. Unfortunately, the person caring for him became unhoused and asked Luvin Arms to give Cheerio a forever home. At Luvin Arms, Cheerio continued to love others and became best friends with Buddha the dog. To this day, Cheerio and Buddha can be seen running around the property together, frolicking in play.
