MEET GEORGIA 🐶
This summer, precious 4 year old Georgia was rescued out of a filthy, hot Alabama puppy mill where she suffered from neglect and reproductive abuse and withstood inhumane conditions. Rescue and freedom sure looks good on this adorable girl who is now healthy and ready to find her perfect match furever family who will continue to shower her with all the love she missed out on. She can't get enough of it!
MEDICAL 🩺
Georgia arrived into our care in poor shape with many infections and parasites. We effectively treated her for fleas, lice, hookworms, giardia, ear infections, eye infections, and skin infections. She also underwent her spay surgery and dental where she lost 4 bad teeth. All of her labwork including her fecal test, heartworm and tick borne illness test, urinalysis, and bloodwork is now all normal and negative. Her knees, hips, and heart were found to be clear and congenitally sound but her tear production was found to be decreased. She gets a twice a day eye drop to help stimulate her tear production to increase and it is now in the normal range. She will likely need to remain on this tear stimulant eye drop for life. Her tear production should be checked at her wellness visits and should it decrease, her family should be prepared to take her to a veterinary ophthalmologist. Georgia is now healthy, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, had a recent dental, is microchipped, and on monthly preventatives.
FOOD & POTTY HABITS 🥘
Georgia is smaller in size and at her ideal weight of 13 pounds. She is a beautiful tricolor girl whose coat is growing in beautifully now that her skin is healthy and she is getting proper care and good nutrition. Georgia is eating and enjoying her twice a day Fromm kibble meals which she eats in the kitchen alongside her furry foster siblings. Supervision is needed at mealtime to ensure everyone stays at their own bowl as she has the tendency to back away from her bowl if it is encroached on. In typical Cavalier fashion, she also loves treats and is recognized and rewarded throughout the day for being the excellent girl that she is! Her adopting family must remain committed to continuing her strictly portioned meals, healthy treats, and daily activity to ensure she remains at her ideal weight, best health, and best self.
Georgia is doing wonderfully with her potty training as long as she is taken out frequently and provided plenty of opportunities outside to be successful. She should be taken out first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and every few hours in between, including after meals. She does not 'signal' or alert that she needs to go out and so it is important that her people take the initiative to take her out routinely. Georgia uses the safe and secured fenced yard in her foster home for going potty and should be supervised when she's taken out to ensure she takes care of her potty business before coming back inside. Sometimes she 'forgets' to go when out and that's when she could have an accident inside. Because she is a treat motivated, a special high value treat immediately following good potty behavior will be excellent reinforcement and reward for her. Even though Georgia is doing fantastic with her potty training, please know that accidents are always to be expected especially initially while she transitions to another environment and routine.
PERSONALITY 💕
Georgia's foster family describes her as super loveable! In true Cavalier fashion, she is sweet, loving, affectionate, and thrives off human attention and affection. She likes to be with you at all times and would be perfectly content to just sit on your lap all day if she could! When a human or lap isn't available, then she'll snuggle up with her Cavalier foster sister. Georgia is all about the snuggle life! Quality time is Georgia's love language and spending special time with her people is very important to her whether it be quality cuddle time together on the couch, leashed walks, or other adventures and activities. As long as she is with you, she is happy as a clam!
ROUTINE ⏰
Georgia spends much of the day with her foster family - being where they are and doing what they are doing, and enjoying a nice, leisurely, laid back lifestyle. She starts her day taken out to potty, then in for breakfast and her morning eye medication, and back outside for pottying and play. When her foster mom works from home, Georgia finds a comfy spot nearby her and is a quiet, well behaved co-worker while she works. Every few hours she is taken outside for pottying, fresh air, and activity. During times when no humans are home, Georgia and her furry foster siblings have free roam of the puppy-proofed house where she has plenty of space, comforts, and companionship. She does well left for short periods of time but is of course happiest being with her people and so we are seeking a family where someone is able to be with her much of the day and where she will have low alone time. She was strictly confined all her life and we do not want her to be crated, nor does she need to be. In the evening, Georgia enjoys her dinner, receives her nighttime eye medication, and hangs out with her family before it's last potty outside. When it's time for bed, Georgia sleeps in the big bed where all little princesses belong. She sleeps peacefully knowing she is safe and sound snuggled up next to you. We are seeking a family who will continue to invite her to sleep with them and pet steps should be provided for her so she can safely get on and off the bed.
SOCIALIZATION 💜
Georgia is a friendly girl who does well meeting new people and warms up quickly. She thrives off attention and affection and is happy to receive it from all willing to give to her. She has adjusted amazingly well to this new world around her and while many things are still new and unfamiliar to her, she is not timid or fearful and does not scare or startle easily. She has done well with well behaved children that she has met and we feel she would be happy in a home with gentle children with dog experience or an active adult only home.
Georgia gets along very well with her Cavalier foster siblings and since she is just learning how to be a dog, she looks to them to know what to do, where to go, and how to behave and follows their lead. Companionship is very important to her and she values her furry furiends especially in times when a human is not home or available. She can often be found snuggled up close with her Cavalier foster sister. She will be happiest and do best with another Cavalier(s) or other dog of similar size and mild temperament in the home. She has not been exposed to any cats in our care but we feel she would do fine living with a dog friendly feline.
Georgia has taken well to being on a leash and is now a proficient leash walker. She loves going for leashed walks and enjoys the opportunity it brings to meet new people and receive pets and attention! She also loves car rides and gets very excited when the harness comes out and she knows it's time to go! She rides safely and comfortably in her boosted car seat where she can see out the window - we will ask that her family have one for her. Georgia loves spending time with her people and being included as much as possible so we are seeking a family who will include her in their daily activities and let her be your little sidekick. She is small which makes her very portable and easy to tote around!
IDEAL FAMILY & HOME 🏡
Most importantly, Georgia needs a family who has the time and ability to shower her with so much love and attention and make her an included and important member of their family. We are seeking a family where someone can be with her much of the day, include her in many outings and adventures, and provide for her plenty of opportunities for quality time with her people. She would be happiest and do best sharing her home and life with a welcoming furry furiend for both companionship and leadership purposes. Her family must be committed to continuing her twice a day eye medication to ensure her tear production remains at a normal level - this is essential to her comfort, vision, and in preventing any eye issues.
Because Georgia has become proficient on a leash, we are not requiring a safe and secured fenced yard in her furever home, but we do prefer it as we can see that she is enjoying her outdoor freedom and space in her foster home. If you do not have a fenced yard, please know that per our agreement, we do not allow our dogs to be off leash outside of a physically secured area and so she must always be taken out on a leash, for her safety. Please understand that for potty training purposes, that will require frequent trips outside on a leash. She has learned to go up and down stairs in her foster home and pet steps up to furniture should be available for her so she can safely get on and off.
