Rosie in East Lansing, MI

Would a Rosie by any other name be as sweet? We think not! This Blenheim gal is the sweetest and most beautiful rose of all. Rosie is a two-year-old Cavalier who is equally happy napping in a dog bed, or cuddling with you on the couch. She is just about the most patient and snuggly girl ever. She comes to Cavalier Rescue USA after her owner recognized they did not have the time to give to such a loving lap dog.

Rosie is great on walks and knows her basic commands like “come,” “sit” and “down.” She’s mostly house trained (only one accident in foster home!), and will scratch at a door to alert you of her potty needs. Her original home had other dogs and a cat. She is doing well with her foster Mom’s dogs, and has so much patience with the puppy in the house. She’s a very laidback girl! Rosie would do well in a home as an only dog, or a home with another calm dog.

Rosie will never turn down a meal or a treat. She is very food motivated. Even with her love of food, she is not at all affected at meal time by the other dogs in her foster home. Her patience shines. Once she’s comfortable in her surroundings, she loves to play with toys (and share toys with her foster dog siblings.) Rosie is playful and curious, while also being calm and patient.

Rosie is crate trained. She stays gated in the kitchen with a dog bed at night and when her foster Mom goes out of the house. Her foster Mom works from home, so Rosie is enjoying having her people around most of the day. Rosie has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior, but she does bark a bit out of excitement and if she sees another dog. Rosie also loves walks and has some extra weight to lose, so a more active family would be a great fit for her.

Rosie is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped and ready for her fur-ever home. If you are interested in Rosie, please complete our online application if you haven’t already done so. Then email  June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to express your interest in Rosie.

Pickles in Plymouth, MI

This little 6-month-old Blenheim boy born 10/09/2024 is an adorable cotton-puff of love! Pickles came into rescue when his family made the difficult decision to surrender him after a family member developed a pet allergy. His previous family gave him a great foundation in his early puppy days. Pickles is eager to greet new people and pets, plays with his toys independently, and walks well on a leash. He’s generally a calm dog, but he enjoys playing chase with his foster brothers. 

While in foster care, he has adjusted to being on a regular routine. Pickles enjoys playtime with his foster brothers, playing fetch with a small tennis ball (although he hasn’t quite learned to bring it back), going on walks outside, and hanging out with his people. He sleeps in his crate at night (the crate is next to his foster mom’s bed) and is gated in the kitchen with his foster siblings when his foster mom leaves the house. She works from home, so Pickles spends most of his days on a dog bed next to his foster mom (or sometimes in her lap). Pickles sleeps through the night (10 pm – 7 am) without needing any potty breaks. 

Pickles is still a puppy, so he is curious about new things and wants to explore his surroundings. His fur-ever home should be puppy-proofed (cords and clothes kept up, etc.). Pickles has a tendency to get underfoot, so the people in his new home home should be agile and limber to help avoid getting tripped by this little fella. He would also benefit from a Good Canine or Perfect Puppy class so he can work on his recall and other basic commands. A fenced in yard for extra playtime is also important.

There were children in Pickles’ previous home, and he did well there. We suspect he will do well in a home with calm children over the age of five who are familiar with small dogs. In the evening, Pickles wants to snuggle on the couch next to his foster family or in someone’s lap. He is doing very well with his house manners, but will enjoy having someone home during the day to allow him frequent potty trips outdoors. He travels well in the car.

The first thing most people notice about Pickles is a tuft of hair that sticks up on the top of his head. This gives off a ‘90s boy-band vibe. And his coat is super-soft and puffy as cotton—the softest coat his foster mom has ever snuggled up to! Pickles is truly a sweetheart of a dog: happy, friendly, snuggly, and full of unconditional love!

He will need a home with a fenced yard and someone home during the day for potty breaks and short walks. He will settle in best with a family that has a routine and moderate activity level. 

Pickles is up-to-date on his vaccinations, has been micro-chipped, and neutered. 

If you think Pickles would be a great addition to your family, please complete the online application if you haven’t already and then email June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Pickles.

Nona & Harper in Dallas, TX

Introducing Nona & Harper, a delightful bonded duo with hearts of gold! These young, playful, and affectionate girls are ready to bring endless joy and love to their forever home. Eager to please, they are sure to become cherished members of your family. If you’re looking for a pair of sweet companions to fill your life with happiness, Harper and Nona are the perfect match!

Harper is a charming tricolor pup who is  2-year-old (born 8/2/22) and proudly holds the title of “boss” among her canine companion. This affectionate girl loves to stay close to her humans, following you around the house wherever you go. Harper has a playful spirit and enjoys a good game of fetch, but she also relishes those cozy moments, curling up on the couch with you whenever you sit down.  With a playful personality, she often “borrows” toys and balls from her sister, showcasing her fun-loving nature. 

Weighing in at 21 lbs, Harper is on the larger side and could benefit from shedding a few pounds. It seems her previous lifestyle was quite sedentary, but she truly thrives on walks and outdoor adventures. With the right diet and regular exercise, Harper is sure to blossom into her best self!

Nona, a petite 2-year-old Blenheim (born 11/22/22), weighs just 15 pounds and has a sweet, gentle nature. While she may be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly and loves making new friends. Loud noises or sudden movements can sometimes startle her, but her affectionate personality shines through as she eagerly rolls onto her back for belly rubs when meeting new people.

Nona enjoys playtime but is just as happy to relax on the couch, quietly observing as you go about your day. The moment you sit down, she’s ready to snuggle up right by your side, just like her sister. She’s also a big fan of daily walks and would thrive in a home with a family committed to keeping her active with regular strolls.

One thing to note is that Nona can display some resource guarding, particularly around mealtime. She’ll do best with a safe, quiet spot to eat where she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her food. 

We think the girls would do best in a home where it’s just the two of them, allowing them to soak up all of your love and attention. Harper is an alpha female and with other dogs around she can get jealous.  They aren’t accustomed to being left alone for long periods, so they’re looking for a family that’s home most of the time to keep them company. A fenced-in yard is also a must, as they enjoy frequent trips outside.

Due to their previous owner being ill, potty training is still a work in progress. They’ll need consistent positive reinforcement and regular outdoor breaks to help establish a reliable routine. Harper does have a little snore, but with some weight loss, it’s likely to improve. They’re excellent travel companions, happily lying next to each other during car rides.

On top of all that, both girls have clear hearts and are healthy. Harper had a very minor ear infection and Nona an eye infection that have both cleared up. They also had some minor crystals in urine and are on a supplement for a month. They are both spayed, up to date on core vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. 

With their loving personalities and playful spirits, Harper and Nona are ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever home!  If you think they would be a great fit for your family please complete and online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Applicants who live within a driving distance of Dallas will be considered.

Charley in Dallas, TX

Here is Charley with his new family…

Charley is a 2-year-old (dob 9/5/2022) sweetheart who lives up to his nickname. He loves giving hugs and kisses, even to new friends. This affectionate pup is on the search for his forever home and has been an absolute joy to his foster family.

Charley is a cuddler through and through. If there’s a lap available, he’s in it. He enjoys playing with toys (he’s still learning how to share them with his foster siblings), and he’s already mastered the art of the zoomies! His playful energy is matched by his loving personality.

Meal times are a highlight for Charley, and he especially enjoys healthy treats like blueberries throughout the day. He’s also a fan of car rides and loves gazing out the window—whether you’re on the road or just hanging out at home.

Charley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He’s mostly potty trained. He had a couple of accidents when he first arrived but hasn’t had any since, so his foster mom thinks he’s got it down. He sleeps soundly through the night in his crate, but he’d be thrilled to snuggle in bed with you if you’ll let him.

This curious and social pup would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and someone who is around most of the time. He’s happy to be the only dog (he loves soaking up all the attention), but he could also enjoy having a doggy sibling to play and cuddle with. While he may take a moment to warm up to other dogs, he makes friends quickly.

Charley’s loving, friendly nature makes him a joy to be around. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle instinct, Charley might just be your perfect match.

If you think you can love and provide all the things he needs, please complete our application if you have not already done so and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.  Please also read through the FAQ’s on the website to help understand the adoption process.  Preferred adopter is within an easy driving distance.

Bailey in Tulsa, OK

Here is Bailey with her new family…

Hello, hello! My name is Bailey and I’m a 3-year-old former mommy in a breeding operation. I came into rescue with my crate buddy and was initially nervous and shy as I had not been handled or nurtured by my owners. It took me a while to warm up to living as a pet, but once I saw your kindness I melted from all of the back and belly rubs. Then I was able to return that love with kisses and cuddles on your lap!  My foster dad gives the best shoulder blade deep massages and ear and head scratches. Ooh! Ahh! Yess! Right there! Mmmm.

I apparently had eaten something before I arrived that I shouldn’t have and became very sick. The vet had to do a big surgery and got out some wire that had poked through my intestines. It wasn’t a fun time, but I was very grateful for all the care and attention.  I am all healed now and ready for my new life. I was also spayed and had my teeth cleaned. They poked me with vaccines and I am on heartworm and flea prevention. Oh, and I have some little chip that helps find me if I am lost.

I have been very happy with my foster dad and another foster dog that I like very much. We like to snuggle sleep and go on walks or ride in the car. My foster dad says I am a “sweetie-peetie”! I follow him all around the house and make sure I know where he is. I love his fenced backyard that is full of flowers and I go about and explore all of it. He took a picture of me sleeping in the flowers.  Silly me! I do love to sun myself outside. I like walks and am not overly fond of leashes. Walking in the quiet neighborhood I would rather drag the leash and walk right with you. I stay close and don’t wander. I need more practice walking with the leash.

I spend most of my day sleeping on my favorite couch spot with my favorite toy. I like children and other dogs that are my size and not aggressive or rowdy. I love to eat now that I feel better and will eat mine and go for my foster sister’s if not redirected. I also like a treat if I do the good outdoor “deed”. I get busy twice a day usually after I eat. We go out at least every 3 or 4 hours and have no accidents in the house. Since I ate something inedible, it is important that I have some safe flavorful chews and toys. 

I would be most comfortable in a home with another calm small dog, someone home a lot and children who respect my space. Oh, and a fenced yard is important. I know how to use a dog door, but that isn’t imperative. I’m looking for that special family to love and cuddle with and be your sweet little pet forever!

 

Beau in Dallas, TX

Meet Beau, an adorable 8 year old Blenheim boy with the friendliest personality and the cutest little teddy bear face. Beau’s heart is overflowing with love, and he’s eager to share it with a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days.

Beau came into rescue due to his elderly owner no longer being able to provide for his needs. He is affectionate and loyal, wanting to stay close by your side throughout the day. He will even try to get in the shower with you if you will allow it! Beau is energetic for his age and enjoys going on walks, playing with balls, and being outdoors in the fenced yard where he can sniff to his heart’s content. When you’re ready to settle in for some relaxing moments, Beau is right there beside you, taking his place on the arm of the couch or the recliner. 

In great health, Beau is up to date on all his vaccinations, recently had a dental cleaning and a minor soft palate surgery to help his breathing. Beau is also microchipped. He is fully potty trained and knows how to use a doggy door whenever necessary. He will also bark at the back door if he decides he’d rather use the “big door” for yard access. At night, Beau sleeps peacefully in his crate but also would love snuggling at the foot of the bed if you don’t mind his snoring!   

Beau did exhibit some resource guarding of objects in his previous home. The foster has worked with him on this issue, and Beau has made significant progress. Given this history, however, it is best for Beau to be in a home without young children. 

Beau’s ideal home would include a securely fenced yard where he can explore freely. Beau is definitely happiest when he has companionship, so he would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time to provide the attention he adores. Although Beau gets along beautifully with other dogs, having another canine companion is not necessary for him to be content.

Beau is a devoted and loving boy who is ready to bring endless joy into your life.  If you feel you can provide Beau with love, companionship, a fenced yard, and someone that can be with him the majority of the day, please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.  

If you have not already filled out an online application, please do so.  Preference is given to applicants within a few hours driving distance of Dallas.
