My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

SPARKY-PENDING ADOPTION
Sparky is an approximately 4-year-old male Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart as big as his personality. This petite little guy weighs about 12 pounds and has been working hard in foster care to gain weight—he’d do great with another pound or two to round him out.

True to his name, Sparky is a social butterfly! He loves meeting new people and fully expects pets and attention from every new friend he encounters. He thrives on love, affection, and companionship, making him a wonderful match for someone looking for a sweet, cuddly, devoted companion.

Sparky does well with other dogs who are respectful and polite playmates, but he doesn’t require another dog in the home to be happy. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but based on his easygoing nature, he would likely do just fine. He walks nicely on leash, so a fenced yard is not a requirement—though he would certainly enjoy having a safe space to explore if one is available.

Sparky is a retired breeder dog who is more than ready to leave that chapter behind and become a cherished family member.

He is currently sleeping in a crate at night and does settle in, though he may voice a few mild complaints at bedtime. Given the choice, he would absolutely love a guardian who welcomes him into the bed for nighttime snuggles. He is working hard on potty training and is doing well overall. Since he was recently neutered, he may do best with a belly band for the first few days in his new home as he continues to adjust and reinforce good habits.

He is fully vetted:

Up to date on vaccines

Neutered

Microchipped

Dental completed

Negative fecal and heartworm tests

On heartworm preventative

Like many Cavaliers, Sparky has a grade 3 heart murmur. He is currently symptom-free and takes a daily medication to support his heart, which costs approximately $30 per month. His murmur will need routine monitoring, but it is not impacting his quality of life, and we fully expect Sparky to enjoy many more happy, healthy years filled with love.
