I learned yesterday that a local dog rescue organization has a 9-month-old male tri-color up for adoption for a nominal fee. He was purchased at 8 weeks at a pet store (Petland) by a very young woman with two small children. She is now going through a divorce, and gave the puppy up because she has too much going on in her life to care for a dog.
He is not housetrained. He is going to the vet next week to be neutered and have a thorough vet exam. He's living with a foster family right now.
We definitely would like to get another Cavalier at some point. I guess our main concern is how Annie will react to having a sibling. She just turned 1, and she's the queen of the house right now. Obviously we're also concerned about potential health problems. Because of his background, I'm sure he was bred in a puppy mill or similar environment. The last thing we need is another dog with major health issues (Annie has hip dysplasia).
Is there anyone else who has been through this and can offer some advice? Here's a pic of the little guy:
Thanks!
