Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $750 Meet Lady Elizabeth Lady Elizabeth is a charming 3 year old, 15 lb Cavalier King Charles–type mix who came to the rescue from the shelter alongside her loyal companion, Mr. Darcy. True to her elegant name, she carries herself with a gentle grace, balanced by a warm, affectionate nature that makes her an instant favorite with everyone she meets. Daily Routine Lady Elizabeth enjoys sleeping in and is happy to rise whenever her humans do. Since she is still working on potty training, it’s best to take her outside first thing in the morning. After that, she’s ready for breakfast around 8:00 a.m., followed by another quick trip outside, as she often needs to go again right after eating. Once breakfast is done, Lady Elizabeth typically has a burst of happy energy—zoomies, toy play, and joyful little hops— before settling into either adventure mode or full-on cozy mode. She loves being close to her humans and any nearby pets and enjoys at least one walk a day, with two being ideal. Between activities, she’s perfectly content taking plenty of naps. Dinner is around 5:00 p.m., and she eats enthusiastically and quickly, sometimes keeping an eye on what her foster brother is eating as well. After dinner, she heads outside again for another potty opportunity. In the evening, she happily snuggles in for the night, and with a few more chances to go outside before bedtime, she generally sleeps through the night without accidents. Her favorite sleeping spot is curled up next to—or adorably sandwiched between—her humans. Personality & Temperament Lady Elizabeth is the definition of a velcro dog. She follows her people from room to room and feels happiest when she’s close to those she trusts. She can be a bit anxious when left alone and may have accidents during those times, even if she has recently gone outside, so she thrives on reassurance, routine, and companionship. She is cautiously curious when meeting new people or dogs—initially a bit shy, but quick to warm up. She is friendly, social, and interested in the world around her, though she prefers to stay near her trusted humans until she feels fully comfortable. She also has a sweetly jealous side and likes to be part of the action if another dog is receiving attention or treats. Despite her sensitivity, Lady Elizabeth is remarkably calm and easy-going. Many people have commented on her composed demeanor even in unfamiliar or mildly stressful situations. That calmness is paired with a playful streak—when she’s excited, she loves to run, jump, and play, and her joy is absolutely contagious. Above all else, Lady Elizabeth is incredibly snuggly. She adores being petted, loves lap time, and prefers to be touching her humans whenever possible. If snuggling isn’t available, she’ll happily curl up on cozy blankets, the couch, or a dog bed nearby. Energy Level & Play Style Lady Elizabeth is a wonderful mix of lounger and playful companion. Most of the day, she’s content to relax and snuggle, but she has energetic bursts where she plays with toys, zooms around, or heads out for a walk. She has surprisingly good stamina and enjoys longer walks, which usually leave her happily tired and ready to settle back into cuddle mode. Leash Skills & Outings She loves going for walks and is excited when the leash comes out. She walks nicely without pulling, barking, or chasing, though she does enjoy stopping to sniff people as they pass by. She generally stays close and checks in with her humans, but in unenclosed areas she may get excited and sprint, so secure spaces are best for off-leash time. Social Life Lady Elizabeth currently lives with a large senior dog and coexists peacefully. She enjoys snuggling near him and following him outside, though they mostly go about their day independently. She hasn’t had much interaction with children or other animals in foster care yet but has done well out in public settings. Why Lady Elizabeth Once Lady Elizabeth trusts you, she gives her whole heart. She is loving, playful, calm, and deeply devoted, with a personality that feels both comforting and joyful. From the moment she trotted into her foster home, confidently greeting everyone before melting into their laps, she made it clear she was ready to belong. Her happy little jumps, her love of snuggles, and her desire to be close make her incredibly special. Lady Elizabeth is the kind of dog who doesn’t just live in your home—she lives in your arms and at your side, and she’s ready to bring that devotion to her forever family.December 16, 2025, 6:23 pm
