Meet Checkers, the sweetest boy on the board. With a heart as gentle as his wrinkled little face, he’s the kind of dog who wins you over in just a few moves. Checkers is currently recovering from a skin condition, but he’s well on his way back to full health and feeling better every day. As winter settles in, he may need a little extra help staying warm while his hair grows back, but that just means you get to build him the five-star wardrobe he deserves. Soft sweaters, cozy jackets, maybe even a stylish scarf or two, Checkers is ready to model them all. He’s a total sweetheart who wants nothing more than to land on the right square: a loving forever home where he can be cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts charm and tenderness, Checkers is ready to take his place as your champion.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
