About Jitter

Meet Jitter! This energetic boy is seeking a forever home filled with activity and adventure. At just 2 years old, Jitter is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who thrives in a lively environment. He came back to us after being relinquished by a previous owner who decided he no longer fit into their plans. Despite this setback, Jitter remains a sweet and loyal companion, ready to share his love with a new family. Jitter is high-energy and requires regular exercise. He enjoys walks and is good on a leash, although he may pull when excited. His playful nature means he loves toys and fetch, so a home with a fully fenced yard is essential for him to run off-leash safely. While he does well with dogs of all sizes, he has a tendency to chase cats, so a feline-free home is best. He’s friendly and has been great with kids in the past, but his enthusiastic jumping may not be suitable for small children. Jitter is crate trained and has excellent house manners. He craves companionship and prefers to be near his people at all times. With the right owner who understands his needs for mental and physical stimulation, Jitter will be an incredible addition. He’s looking for someone ready to engage with him and invest in his happiness. Do you think you can provide that kind of home? Located in Yorktown, VA, Jitter is neutered, vaccinated, and house trained. He’s waiting for a loving family to provide him the stability he deserves. Ready to make a change in his life?
