About Shyla

Shyla is a gentle soul, an 8-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who has seen more than her share of hardships. Having spent her life in a puppy mill, she arrived at rescue feeling scared and unsure about life as a beloved pet. With each passing day, Shyla is blossoming. She now greets her foster mom with tail wags and adorable little dances. She has discovered the joy of sleeping in bed with her foster family and other dogs, and is gradually learning that humans can be warm and loving. Though she is still mastering house training, Shyla needs a patient family who understands her journey. A securely fenced yard is essential for her safety, as puppy mill dogs often have a flight instinct. Having a calm, confident dog in the household could significantly help her build confidence. Shyla has completed her dental work, is spayed, and is current on vaccinations. While she does have a grade 3 heart murmur, she is doing well and not on any medication; just routine monitoring will suffice as she ages. For those willing to invest in her gentle nature, Shyla is ready to become your loving companion. The adoption fee is $350. Please note, applicants must complete an application and live within one hour of Chardon, Ohio to schedule a meet and greet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
