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

Description

Dog Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (medium coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Sunny, a little ray of sunshine! Some dogs have a way of making every day feel a little brighter, and Sunny couldn’t have a more fitting name. This sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is as cheerful and easygoing as they come. She wakes up happy, greets life with a gentle spirit, and is simply content being part of whatever is happening around her. Sunny has the cutest little quirk that always makes people smile. When she’s feeling especially happy or excited, she’ll lie on the floor and alternate stretching her front legs over and over, looking just like she’s “swimming.” It’s an adorable signature move that’s impossible not to love! At home, Sunny is wonderfully low-maintenance. She’s usually quiet, although she may offer a few barks if she thinks she spots something interesting outside before happily settling back into her favorite lookout spot. One of her favorite places to relax is in a cozy bed by a window or door where she can keep an eye on the world while soaking up the day. While Sunny isn’t the type to demand constant cuddles, she absolutely enjoys being near her people. She’s happiest lounging beside you on the couch, soaking up gentle pets and quiet companionship. She’s affectionate in her own calm, understated way and has a peaceful presence that’s incredibly comforting. Sunny takes life in stride. New people, new dogs, and unfamiliar places don’t seem to bother her—she approaches the world with confidence and an easygoing attitude. The one time you’ll see her become determined is when the leash comes out! She absolutely loves her walks and enthusiastically tries to lead the way down her favorite routes. She’s currently carrying a little extra weight, so her future family will need to continue helping her stay on track with daily walks and gentle exercise. She’s already making great progress and, with time, will continue building her stamina. Sunny does have one special need: she no longer has any teeth. Thankfully, it doesn’t slow her down one bit! She simply needs her meals softened or served as soft food, and she eats comfortably and happily that way. If you’re looking for a gentle, happy companion with a sweet personality, an adorable “swimming” dance, and a heart full of sunshine, Sunny may be the perfect addition to your family. She’s proof that sometimes the very best dogs are the ones who simply ask to be near you while making every day a little brighter. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
