Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Trixie in Nashville, TN

Trixie is a sweet 2-year-old tricolor Cavalier girl, born 5-21-2023. Trixie obviously has had a challenging life at a commercial breeding facility. While she has come far, she will need someone who is patient and willing to work with her to help her overcome her fears. She truly deserves to be loved and pampered.

Trixie would do best in a home with a well adjusted, small dog to help her learn the ropes and become more confident. She will also need a very secure, fenced-in yard. Once she is comfortable, the loves to romp and play with her pack.

Trixie rides well in the car but has not yet learned to walk on a leash. She is slowly working on that and her new owner will need to continue leash training. Trixie is potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door. She loves being outdoors and exploring. She prances around the yard rain or shine!

Trixie was spayed while in rescue and brought up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. Trixie presented with a grade 2-3 heart murmur which, based on her age, mitral valve dysplasia is considered the most likely explanation for the mitral regurgitation. Yearly echos are needed to assess progression.

If you feel Trixie would be a great fit for your family, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Liz Nigh at lizcavalierusa@gmail.com to express your interest.

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.

Oliver in Austin, TX

Oliver is a mild-mannered, sweet, quiet and loving six-year-old Ruby Cavalier looking for his forever home. Oliver was born on December 16, 2018. He was released to rescue due to his owner’s health issues.

Oliver loves to snuggle on the sofa while watching TV. He will sleep on the floor next to you as you work, and follow you everywhere you go. He likes to be brushed and be in your lap.

Oliver is house-trained. He uses a doggie door for necessary outside needs. Oliver will also scratch other doors to be let out for potty, as a reminder that he should be let out regularly. (Door guards to protect the doors are advisable.) Oliver is also crate-trained. He sleeps in his crate at night.

Oliver is completely up-to-date on vaccines, which are not due again until June. Oliver is microchipped. He had his last dental in October, 2023. He had some dental extractions in a November, 2022. Oliver takes heartworm and flea preventatives Heartgard and Nexgard. (Several months of these preventatives will be provided.)

Oliver has been treated for skin itchiness and an ear infection/ruptured ear drum. His skin and ears are currently clear, but he has had hearing loss.

Oliver had conjunctival flap surgery on his left eye in 2021, and requires eyedrops twice daily in his eyes. Fortunately, he accepts these eyedrops easily. However, his vision is limited in his left eye.

To treat his mild pancreatitis, Oliver eats Royal Canin GI low fat kibble twice a day. Oliver will eat anything on the floor, so a clean house is a must. He will also eat any and everything in the yard. Oliver will be happiest in a home without young children, other dogs or cats. This will help Oliver’s eye stay protected, and will lessen his exposure to forbidden treats that young children and other pets would be served.

Because eating anything but his food exacerbates his gastro issues, Oliver must be monitored so he will not ingest anything else whatsoever. He must only be fed his special kibble. Fortunately, he really likes eating a few of his kibble as a treat! Oliver enjoys a kibble treat after his eyedrops are administered.

Oliver is fostered in Austin. If you are interested in providing Oliver a forever home, please complete our online application, if you have not already done so. Then email Janice Cartwright at janicecartwright33@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

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!

Liam in Nashville, TN

Here is Liam with his new mom…

Looking for a daily dose of sunshine, wiggles, and snuggles? Look no further than Liam, an adorable 5-month-old Ruby Cavalier born 10/20/2024. This pup has a heart as big as his floppy ears. This sweet boy has quickly stolen the hearts of everyone he meets. With his warm, expressive eyes and joyful energy, Liam is the perfect mix of silly puppy playfulness and devoted Cavalier cuddler.

Liam’s personality is as vibrant as his gorgeous ruby coat. He’s curious about the world, always eager to explore new sights, sounds, and smells, and then come straight back for some lap time and love. He’s happiest when he’s cuddled up on a lap or playing with his foster brother, and he greets each day with boundless enthusiasm. Whether it’s a game of chase, a good chew toy, or curling up next to you for a nap, Liam makes even the ordinary feel special.

This charming little guy is currently 11 lbs and growing, and he’s in excellent health. Like most puppies his age, he’s still working on house training, but he’s making great progress, especially when he has a consistent routine and lots of encouragement. He’s adjusting to his crate but prefers to be where his humans or foster brother are. But he’s learning quickly with praise and positive reinforcement. He’ll thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to keep up with his potty training and help him settle into his new life.

Because Liam loves canine companionship, he would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to be his playmate and mentor. He takes comfort in having a buddy around, especially as he continues learning the ropes of being a well-mannered family member. Liam is very people-oriented and could do well as a solo pup in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love, and gentle guidance.

What makes Liam truly special is his joyful spirit. He brings so much happiness with his goofy antics and warm, cuddly nature. He’s a puppy full of promise, and watching him grow and blossom is an absolute joy.
