Story
We got him almost 2 years ago. His birthday is June 16th. I would like him to have a fenced in yard and someone that has more time to care for him and train him. He loves to snuggle and sleeps next to my partner, but I'm allergic to him so I have been sleeping separately or I break out in serious hives. I have tried different medications, but it hasn't helped anything. I would like to be able to breathe better. We hate to let him go because he is a great dog, but I can't keep messing with my health. He is pretty strong as well, so someone that can be able to control him and teach him gently would be great. We love him and want him with people that will love him as well.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Hogan is a very sweet 2 year old blenheim cavalier male who’d love a person of his own. Each of our family members has their own Emotional Support Cavalier and unfortunately Hogan has become an extra. We also recently moved to a smaller home due to separate “life events” and he deserves more. He has sired a couple of adorable litters but we have decided to not mate our dogs anymore. We’d love to see him go to a good family that has kids because he is great with them. He is potty trained, crate trained (though doesn’t care for it), loves to snuggle but will play if the opportunity calls. He is very easy going and gets along with all of our other dogs. Please reach out if you think he would be a good fit for your home. We are a very busy household and I can’t always take a phone call. If you could please text me at the number listed, that would make it much easier for me to respond when I’m available. Thanks for viewing and I hope to hear from you!
