Lady in Hillsborough, NJ

Here is Lady with her new family…

If you’re searching for a furry friend who radiates love and affection, look no further than Lady.

Affectionately nicknamed “Pancake” for her adorable pancake-like ears and her charming sploots, this 5-year-old Blenheim Cavalier is the epitome of sweetness. While she might be a little shy at first, especially around men, she quickly warms up and showers you with endless love and devotion.

Originally from a breeder, she was surrendered by her previous owner due to circumstances beyond their control. Lady is an absolute joy to be around. She’s wonderful with people of all ages, including kids, and gets along with other pets. In her current foster home, she coexists well with two other Cavaliers and knows when to respect their space. Though she has not been tested with cats, it is hard to imagine a creature that Lady does not get along with.

Lady is a dog that is just happy to be near you. Though she loves walks and exploring, her favorite place is snoozing next to you and getting belly rubs. She demands a lot of affection and needs a family that will give her that. Lady thrives on cuddles and being close to her humans. She requires a home where she can be the center of attention, though she would also do great with a gentle canine friend.

While she does not regularly bark, Lady has found her voice when it comes to her food preparation (it is never fast enough!) and some separation anxiety. Lady may bark when left alone, but quiets down after a short while. She would thrive in a home where someone is with her most of the time. She is housebroken but will go inside if she is not taken on regular walks. She is also a bit clumsy – she is very hesitant with using stairs but eventually gets the hang of it.

Lady, who is spayed and weighs 20 lbs, has a minor Grade 1 heart murmur, manageable with regular vet visits. She also experiences some itching, possibly due to a chicken allergy, so her foster parent is testing a chicken-free diet. While the vet did not find any airway concerns, Lady tends to snort a lot (like a truffle pig) and overheats fast, so please keep this in mind during hotter months. Regular grooming is essential to keep her coat and fabulous ears in tip-top shape as well. While in foster care, Lady received a dental. She is also microchipped.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion who will make every day brighter, Lady is the perfect match for you!
