About Aayla:

  • Name: Aayla
  • Breed: Cocker Spaniel/Cavalier King Charles Mix
  • Age: Approximately 6 years
  • Gender: Female
  • Weight: 13 lbs
  • Adoption Fee: $495

Why Aayla Needs a Home:

Aayla came from a commercial breeder (puppy mill) where she was used for breeding. Now, she is ready to experience life as a beloved family member. Despite her past, Aayla is relatively social compared to many former breeding dogs. She may do well as an only dog, but she can be a bit bossy with other dogs.

Personality & Training:

  • Social & Sweet: Friendly and eager for love
  • Bossy but Playful: May prefer being the only dog
  • House Skills: Needs patience with leash walking and house manners
  • Potty Needs: A fenced yard or secure potty area is recommended for her safety

Special Needs of Former Breeder Dogs:

Dogs from commercial breeders often have limited socialization and may be fearful of new experiences. They may be unfamiliar with household routines, stairs, or even the sound of a TV. Adopters should be:
✅ Patient and Supportive: Celebrate every small milestone as Aayla adjusts to her new life.
✅ Kind and Understanding: Some former breeder dogs progress quickly, while others take more time to feel comfortable.
