My name is Poseidon!

Poseidon is a gentle and timid Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy still getting used to the world around him. This small boy can be shy at first, especially when things get a little chaotic. Sudden movements may startle him, but with slow, patient interactions, Poseidon warms up quickly and shows his sweet, affectionate nature. He loves being held close, feeling safe in your arms, and giving gentle licks to let you know how much he trusts you.

Though he tends to hang back when things get overwhelming, Poseidon has a little spark of spunk and will stand up for himself when he feels it's necessary. He adores his older Cavalier companion and would happily follow him around all day. Poseidon shows he bonds well with other dogs, making him a great addition to a home with other pets.

Poseidon is progressing well with potty training when taken outside and is good in the car, sitting quietly on rides. Though he's a bit nervous when someone first approaches to pick him up, if given a moment, he will come to you willingly-he just needs someone with patience and understanding to help him build confidence. Poseidon is wonderful with children, gets along with other dogs, and is food motivated, making training a breeze.

With some time and gentle encouragement, Poseidon will grow into a confident, loving companion who will gladly snuggle up in your lap whenever he gets the chance. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly pup who just needs a bit of extra love to shine, Poseidon is your perfect match!

* Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results. We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on. Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
