Chloe in Worcester, MA

Update 10-5-24: We think we have identified a loving home for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now.

We would like to introduce you to Chloe. Sweet Chloe is a twelve-year-old Cavalier born 04/12/2012. She is a healthy pup looking for her retirement haven. Chloe was an owner surrender who lived her entire life with one family who was unable to care for a dog going forward. Chloe is what rescue is all about. She needs a home and someone to love her. She needs a place to live out the rest of her days without fear or anxiety. She craves human companionship, and in return, offers her unconditional love, loyalty and devotion. Who can offer Chloe a place in their home and heart?

Chloe is a loving, affectionate and loyal Velcro dog who will stay by your side. She is deaf, but don’t let this worry you. She has a voice and an opinion, and will
communicate her needs and wants by “talking” and barking. She does understand some hand signals. She feels vibrations and is very aware of what is happening around her, and will call out if she cannot find you. For this reason, apartment living is not for her. A securely fenced yard would be a bonus for her. Due to her deafness, the safety of a fenced yard is desirable but not required in this case, as long as Chloe is leashed at all times when outdoors.

For a senior, Chloe is in remarkably good health. At 12, she is heart clear. Her prior history indicates past UTI’s and ear infections. To prevent more, Chloe takes supplements and needs her ears cleaned regularly. She sometimes has a bit of stiffness in her legs but is taking a joint supplement and is always up for a walk.

This girl wants to greet every person she encounters. She is easy-going with adults and children of all ages, and is passive with all the dogs she has met in her foster home, both large and very small. Chloe is perfectly happy to be your one and only. While she does not require a canine companion, if one is already in the home, or visits, she does just fine.

Chloe is aging gracefully, but can be stiff at times. This does not prevent her from walking wonderfully on a leash and she will meander along with you without complaining. With this in mind, a home without many stairs and with carpeting and/or throw rugs to prevent slipping would be wonderful. Chloe is a larger Cavalier. The vet said her weight is nearly perfect for her size! She is a healthy 32lbs. She is spayed/microchipped and has had a full dental cleaning while in our care.

Chloe loves to travel and won’t complain about a long car ride. She asks to sleep with her person in the big bed, is quiet at night and has no potty breaks until morning. She eats twice a day and enjoys, veggies, treats and chews. This mature girl is doing well on Prescription c/d Urinary + Weight Care food and takes several supplements that we hope her new home will keep up with. She is house-trained. Her new owner should be aware that she may need to go out more frequently than a younger dog.

Chloe has shown us that she does not like cats so we won’t place in a home with cats or small critters. She’ll be happiest in a family where someone is home with her much of the time.

If you enjoy the companionship of a senior dog, have time and love to give and want to make a difference in a dog’s life, Chloe is the girl for you.
