Sally is a sweet cavalier looking for a family that speaks 'dog'. Sally is a breeder release from a commercial facility. She hasn't had the benefit a dog her age might have who was born in a home. That being said, while she is a bit scared and timid, once she feels safe she is eager to bond with a family. She needs family who will help her slowly decompress and adjust in her own time. Sally is a friendly gentle gal. She needs a fenced in yard for her potty place. She doesn't understand leash walking.

Cavaliers are Velcro dogs and Sally is no exception. Once she feels comfortable she will follow you to the bathroom and jump in the shower with her if you let her, Shew wants to be near her people. If you don't want a Velcro dog, she is not the one for you. Sally is young and is pretty talented at counter surfing or helping you finish your dinner if you leave it unattended on the dining room table. Be warned!

Like all dogs, she will need structure and a patient, loving home. We recommend training for all dogs, not only to give Sally important learning skills, but because you and your dog will create a stronger bond just by going through the training together.

Sally is fully vetted. She has been spayed, received age-appropriate vaccines, and is microchipped. Subsequent vaccines will be at the expense of her adopter. Her adoption donation is $1200..00. She is on the hunt for her own completely committed family. Little dogs can live to be 20+ years old, so Sally wants to be sure her family is all in for better or for worse!

IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 9 MONTHS): You must have a flexible work schedule or someone home all day. Puppies need to be let out to potty often. They need socialization, bonding, and training (housetraining and behavioral training). If you work long hours, have a busy social schedule, or are not financially secure, then a puppy is not for you.
