Leila in Lake Forest, IL

Hi! My name is Leila, I just turned 3-years-old on January 11^th and I was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by my breeder who wanted the perfect forever home to be found for me.

I have a clear heart, sound knees, and am a petite little girl at 13 lbs. I have recently undergone a spay and a dental, am up to date on vaccines, heartworm prevention and am microchipped. Although I am a very healthy girl, I do not have the best dental genes and will most likely need dental cleanings every year.

I am a stunning solid black color with a shiny coat. I’m very hard to see outside at night so my foster mom makes me wear this weird collar that lights up in the dark so she can see me. I love exploring the large physically fenced yard, but when I see bunnies and squirrels I REALLY want to find them when they run away from me and leave the yard, so my foster parents have to watch me since I’m always trying to find a way out; I can even move bricks – I’m very strong for my petite size!

I absolutely love my foster sisters and brother. I can usually be found in the middle of a giant cuddle puddle or curled up with one of them. When we travel in the car I prefer to share a Snoozer seat with my Cavalier foster sisters – we all squish into one even though there are several car seats. I’ve briefly met a cat; she wasn’t very nice to me so I left her alone. I love every new person I meet – I’m not shy at all! I love to snuggle my foster siblings and my foster parents – whoever wants to snuggle, I’m all in, anytime!

I am a very good girl; I am very reliably house trained (although my foster mom is home quite a bit to let me out), I sleep all night in my own crate, and during the day I have earned the trust of my foster parents to have the run of the house. My one naughty habit is that I like to shred paper; I think it’s fun! I think they spy on me sometimes with the cameras though just to make sure I’m being a good girl, but I’m almost always just snuggling with the other pups or on neighborhood watch duty.

I walk well on a leash, although it’s been so cold here, I would rather stay inside where it’s nice and warm! I LOVE food (all food!) and am a voracious eater, although I do have a bit of a sensitive tummy so my foster mom tries to keep my food and treats consistent.
