Meet Ilene

Ilene is a sweet cavachon who is now a retired breeder. She has a wonderful personality and loves to cuddle. When arriving at our rescue we found her to have a lump in her mammary area. The decision was made to address when she was spayed. The veterinarian removed one entire side of her mammary gland to insure if it was an issue it was gone. We have kept an eye on her and she is doing great. She will need to learn everything about being part of a family. Also will need another small to medium dog in the home. No small children. Ilene is now up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines, microchipped, tested for heartworm negative and now current on preventatives. If interested in possible adoption please go to www. DelawareRescue.com and complete the online adoption application
