SPICE - CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (medium coat). Spice is a beautiful Blenheim-colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is about 4 years old. Spice spent the first 4-ish years of her life as a breeding mama before coming into the rescue in September. She lives in a foster home with another foster dog, 2 resident adult dogs, 3 kids, and 2 adults. Spice is thriving in the home environment, but she still has a long way to go. When Spice first came to us, she was very scared of everything in our home and spent most of her time safely in her crate. However, once she got comfortable, she became queen of the couch. When she is on the couch and sleepy, she will let you pet her. However, any other time, she recoils from petting. She does like sniffing hands and, recently, she has been greeting all guests in our home with a tail wag and a sniff. She loves treats and bones. While she is mostly potty-trained, she still has occasional accidents around the house. She did not walk on a leash for months, but she got too lonely when we were gone, so finally she decided she would walk on a leash only if the person walking her walked behind her. Spice's biggest love in life is other dogs. She wants to be with other dogs and is happiest when part of a pack. She wants to be wherever they are but she does not engage in much play with them. Because of Spice's history, Spice needs to go to a home that has a well-adjusted resident dog who can continue to teach her how to be a dog. If you are interested in helping her learn how to live “the good life” as a family dog, please submit an application to meet her!
