About Maria

Meet Maria, a sweet and gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who has gracefully transitioned from her past as a commercial breeding dog to discovering the joys of a loving home. She is adjusting well to her foster life, enjoying the company of other Cavaliers and even getting along with the resident cat. Maria has a playful side, especially when it comes to her yak chews and hoarding plush squeaky toys in her favorite spot. Her house training is progressing positively with the right routine, and while she does have a sinus arrhythmia, it currently poses no health concerns. Maria has been spayed, received a dental procedure with extractions, and is up to date on her vaccinations and heartworm prevention. To ensure she thrives in her forever home, Maria requires a physically fenced yard—no invisible or electric fencing, please—as well as a confident resident dog to comfort her. A little extra patience and understanding will go a long way as she acclimates, but Maria is ready to embrace her new life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
