Gambler #2172 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Nixa, MO

Note: Dogs are pack animals and do not do well away from other members of their pack. The adopter is the alpha member of the pack, and the dog or puppy needs as much one-on-one contact with the alpha as possible. For this reason, all Route 66 Rescue Inc. dogs are adopted to inside homes only. They must be on leash, or inside a secure fence when outside, and not left outside alone when no one is home. Invisible fencing does not qualify as protection since other animals and strangers have access to the dog. The dogs must be returned to Route 66 Rescue, Inc. if ever given up by the adopter. Thank you for understanding we want only the best for the dogs you give a forever home.


Gambler is a handsome eleven-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is very sweet and is learning to become a snuggler. Gambler is going to need someone with a lot of patience. He doesn't like to go outside willingly to potty. So far, he has had to be picked up and taken outside to potty. He pretty much stays in a dog crate because that is where he feels most safe. The door is always open so he can come out anytime he wants but he prefers to be in it. We do not try to force him to come out unless he wants to. He will have to have someone who will be patient with him to let him warm up to them. He still pulls back at first when you try to pet him. He wants to trust you and wants to be petted but he is hesitant.. He is a gentle soul and good with other dogs and loves people once he trusts them. Gambler is a retired breeder and it will take time and patience in the perfect forever home where he can relax and enjoy the rest of his life. Email route66rescue@yahoo.com for an adoption application. Gambler's adoption fee is $300.
