Just as gorgeous as the famous supermodel, Giselle will melt your heart with her soulful eyes & beautiful personality. 

Giselle was used as a breeder mom the first several years of her life. For four years, Giselle only had one task- to be a mom. Once she was in a home, she was unfamiliar with her surroundings & the expectations (or joys) of living in a home. 

We will wait patiently to pair Giselle with her perfect forever family so she can live out her retirement as a happy pet. We will be seeking a home that is familiar with dogs that have lived as breeding stock their entire lives, or a home that is familiar with the Cavalier breed, even better… a home that is experienced in both!

Giselle has learned the freedom of having a big backyard where she can explore, sunbathe, nap, or just watch everyone else. She is not comfortable at all with a leash & will not do her potty business on a leash. We will be requiring a secure physically fenced yard for her safety & happiness (& for potty training, which she has mastered in her foster home). 

Hands are still scary for Giselle. She takes her cues from her foster canine siblings & follows their lead. Giselle simply needs time. She needs space to learn & grow. She needs reassurance that her life is now safe & only good things are to come. 

At night she sleeps in the bedroom with her foster siblings. She sleeps all night, soundly. She is a very good girl that doesn’t get into any trouble. When her foster family is gone, she is allowed free roam of the house. 

If you have time & patience to provide a loving safe home for Giselle, please apply on our website.
