Splendid isn’t just a name—it’s a lifestyle.
At just 10–12 months old and weighing around 11 pounds, this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix is the definition of joyful energy wrapped in a tiny, affectionate package. She moves through life with curiosity, charm, and a very clear mission: find the coziest spot, the kindest people, and the best belly rubs possible.
From the moment she wakes up to her evening couch sessions, Splendid makes ordinary days feel a little brighter.

Personality Snapshot
Splendid is a happy, social little dog who loves being part of whatever is happening in the home.
She enjoys checking in on her people throughout the day, especially children and anyone likely to offer attention. She’s affectionate without being overly clingy—content to stay nearby, observe, and join in when the moment feels right.
One of her signature moves is the dramatic “belly-rub collapse,” where she gently flops onto her back or your lap to request immediate spa-level attention. It’s impossible to ignore—and even harder not to smile at.
She’s playful, curious, and enjoys daily walks, though she can get excited and pull a bit on leash. With her small size and eagerness to learn, she’s very manageable and improving with consistency.
Splendid is also house-trained, smart, and quick to pick up household routines, including using a doggy door.
What She’s Looking For
✔️ A home where she can be included in daily life
✔️ A family who enjoys affection, play, and companionship
✔️ Someone home often—she doesn’t like long periods alone
✔️ A secure home (she’s curious and may try to sneak out on adventures)
✔️ Optional: a friendly dog sibling or she can be the center of attention

Heart of Splendid
Splendid doesn’t just live in a home—she participates in it.
She checks in on everyone, claims the best sun patches, melts into laps for affection, and somehow turns everyday routines into something a little more joyful.
If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality, endless charm, and a natural talent for making people smile, Splendid is exactly what her name promises.
