Cheese is a 10-year-old Great Dane/Labrador Mix. He was part of a cruelty case a group of animal advocates were working on when he was brought to Wish Upon a Rescue in Lockport, Illinois. He was 1 of only 9 survivors.

Cheese should have been around 100 pounds, but when they found him, he was 45 pounds soaking wet – all skin and bones. He had several wounds all over his legs, a lot of scarring all over his body and no teeth at all.

Rescuers worked hard to rehabilitate Cheese and give him the love he both needed and deserved. Not only did they help improve his health, but they gave him the gift of a forever home!

Cheese is now around 100 pounds, has 2 fur-siblings, and LOVES a good spoonful of peanut butter! He is living the life he should have always been living. He goes on frequent hikes with his family, and loves exploring his backyard.

“Rescue Bank has not only helped dogs like Cheese, but hundreds of other animals that come into our rescue. Cheese has been able to eat the soft foods given to us through Rescue Bank, because he has very little teeth.”
