Delilah in Brentwood, MO

Hi, I am Delilah, a young active 3-year-old girl born May 24, 2021 who was saved from a life of breeding by a Good Samaritan.

When I first came into Cavalier Rescue USA, I was shy and very scared (you know, breeder dog syndrome). I quickly realized that pet life was the life I was meant to live! No cages, lots of love, freedom to check out my surroundings, both inside and outside. My foster mom says I am very, very smart. I learned to potty outside and have not had an accident since day 2 in my new life. I am on a regular potty schedule and do not have to be crated! I take over my foster mom’s office when she has to go out, but she doesn’t let me have my soft little toys when she is gone because I chewed one up and swallowed a few pieces. (I did poop them out) but she just wants me safe.

I have a little foster brother, really little (only 5 pounds) and he is teaching me all about the good life. We run all over the back yard and chase birds and squirrels. I investigate all the plants and bushes. I never knew being a dog could be so much fun! He lets me chase him around inside too, but goes upstairs when he gets tired. I can go upstairs too, but only to follow my foster mom as I have to keep a close eye on her!

I was originally scared of leashes and going for walks. My foster mom was patient, and I soon realized that if I didn’t go with them, I would miss out on fun. I am learning to walk on the leash like a pro, and there is so much out there to smell and investigate. There are no things called cats or children in the house, but lots of adult visitors. I bark to let my foster mom know someone is here, but settle down quickly. My foster mom will finish and tell you what a good girl I am!

I have had Delilah for a few weeks, and she had her spay and dental done on 11/14/24, and lost 7 teeth. Delilah is very trainable, and picks up on commands very quickly. It is amazing how quickly she has adapted to her strange new world. She loves nothing more than to be part of my small family. She does not sleep in the big bed, but has a cozy blanket by my bed and sleeps all night. She will pick up socks or other items of clothing, but has not destroyed them. She did tear up a soft toy, so those are now supervised. She loves her collection of babies. She will be your loving shadow. She is by my side when I work in the office or sit on the couch and brings me peace. She is good with other dogs, is up to date on her vaccines, and heartworm and flea & tick preventatives, and she weighs 17 lbs.
