Hamilton is a charming tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whose joyful spirit shines through even as he continues his recovery from a recent neuter, dental, and treatment for an ear infection. At just 3 years old, Hamilton’s youthful, bouncy personality makes him feel more like a goofy puppy than a grown dog.
Personality
Playful, energetic, and full of life
Loves to cuddle and thrives on human interaction
Affectionate to the core—his favorite reward is closeness, not treats
Enjoys resting his head on your shoulder or curling up in your lap
Social Skills
Friendly with both men and women, and does well with older children
Curious about other dogs and shows interest in meeting them
Hasn’t yet been tested with small children, cats, or other small animals
Excited to meet new people, though he’s starting to show some alert barking when he hears activity outside
Training & Habits
Knows “sit” occasionally but hasn’t learned additional commands yet
Appears mostly house-trained, with only one indoor accident so far
Struggles with alone time and isn’t crate-trained; may bark at bedtime or during the night, though he’s improving
Leash walking is new and sometimes overwhelming—he can be fearful, hesitant, and easily startled by noises or movements
Pulls on the leash and may refuse stairs, but his curiosity keeps him eager to explore
Daily Life
Not very food-motivated and eats lightly, preferring affection over treats
No special grooming needs; currently kept clean with wipes until cleared for a full bath
Loves lap time and shoulder cuddles, often napping close to his people while they work or relax
Not interested in toys yet—his comfort comes from human connection
Ideal Home
Hamilton would thrive with an experienced owner who can guide him patiently through training and help him build confidence. A home with older children would be a wonderful match, giving him playtime and companionship while reinforcing good manners.
Hamilton is a sweet, affectionate Cavalier who longs to be close to his people. With time, patience, and love, Hamilton will blossom into the devoted companion he’s meant to be.
