Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Bennie in Georgetown, KY

Meet Bennie, a 5-month-old male Ruby Cavalier born 6/17/24 who weighs just 7.7 pounds. This charming little pup has a sweet and gentle disposition. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and older children, making him an ideal companion for a loving family.

Bennie is the ultimate lap dog, an A+ snuggler who thrives on cuddles. He also has a playful side, enjoying outdoor adventures where he can run to his heart’s content. Though he can be timid at first and startles easily, Bennie is quickly learning to trust and warm up to people. He loves carrying around his favorite toys and playing with them.

His house training is excellent for his age, and he’s doing well with crate training, settling in with minimal fuss. While he can be vocal when excited, this is a behavior that can be easily managed with training.

Bennie is in excellent health, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and has been thoroughly vetted. His new family should be ready to continue his puppy vaccination schedule and provide him with the love and care he deserves.

Chelsea in Nashville, TN

Chelsea is a 2-year-old Cavalier, born on November 19, 2022. Her color is described as Blenheim Chocolate Merle. This sweet girl came to us thanks to a caring good Samaritan.

With an absolutely wonderful temperament, Chelsea is a loving, affectionate companion who’s eager to be near her people. She’s naturally curious about everything you do (we lovingly call her our “little nosey Rosey”!) and brings joy wherever she goes.

Though she can be a bit timid and shy at first, once Chelsea warms up, she becomes a loyal friend for life. She gets along beautifully with her foster siblings, both dogs (fellow Cavaliers) and cats alike. She enjoys curling up with her foster sisters for a nap and loves playing “steal the mouse” with her feline foster brother. Chelsea is in good health following a recent vet visit and has just been spayed.

While she’s still a little uncertain outdoors, Chelsea walks on a leash and is making progress in adjusting to the sights and sounds around her. Indoors, her curiosity shines, but outside, she’s a bit more reserved and could use some time and patience to feel truly at ease. Chelsea has done wonderfully with house training, consistently using a doggie pad, and is working on expanding her comfort with going outside.

Chelsea is a healthy pup. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on all vaccinations.

Chelsea’s ideal forever home will be filled with love, positive interaction, and plenty of snuggles! She thrives in an environment where she can feel safe and included.

If you live within a reasonable driving distance (typically 3-4 hours) of Nashville, TN, and believe your home could be the perfect place for Chelsea to thrive, we would love to hear from you! Please complete the online application and send an email to Sandy Medd at rescuecavaliers@gmail.com to express your interest.

Lacey in Houston, TX

Howdy- my name is Lacey. I am a 2 year old female and I came to Cavalier Rescue USA with three other Cavaliers because of some problems in the family. I am a little timid at first, but I do love people, other dogs and my foster cat sibling does not bother me one bit. Even though I can be timid, noises do not bother me; vacuum cleaner, outside noises, hair dryers are all okay by me.

When I arrived in rescue, I had a lot to overcome. Unfortunately, I was loaded with parasites, dehydrated, had an ear and bladder infection. My foster mom thinks since I was not feeling my best, it made me a bit scared to potty outside. Everything was a bit sore, but I am feeling better now, and I have become much more reliable with my potty training. Sometimes I dawdle outside for potty time, I am a spaniel and I love to smell. I respond to “potty” and will go in tight circles right before #1. When it is time for #2, I move around very quickly and will even propel myself off the fence or side of the house. It is untraditional, but it is a clue that I am ready to relieve myself. I do prefer to use the bathroom in the mulch area outside, but I will go in the grass too.

I sleep all night in a cozy round doggie bed right by my foster mom. Sleeping up on the big bed would be swell, but my foster mom says I must wait until I am with my forever family. I am not a big chewer and have just started slowly play with a few toys. I do however love dirty laundry, I don’t want to rip it up, I just like to grab it very gently in my mouth and take it to my napping spot. My foster mom says it’s very endearing.

I also love to sit up on the couch with you, I just really love to be by my people. I especially love to be by my foster mom all the time, I think she hung the moon. She tells me that I will soon have my forever people that I will adore even more.

My foster family says I am a very chill lady, but I get very animated when I see my harness and leash. I love my walks! When I first arrived, I didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but my foster mom and I did click training and my foster siblings showed me the ropes. It is just the most fun thing! I walk with a loose leash and my morning walk is a great opportunity for me to do my daily #2. My morning walk ensures I remain successful with my potty training.

My mom laughs every mealtime. I am such a hearty eater and cannot wait to chow down. To work on my manners, my foster mom taught me to sit before I can have my meal. For dry food, I get my meals in a “snuff mat” to help me eat a bit slower too. My foster family says it’s also good for my mental stimulation, but all I know is that I love it. I was occasionally getting loose stools and ear infections, and I currently am on a hydrolyzed protein diet and avoid protein treats. So far, this new diet is working for me. I also get daily probiotics to continue to keep a calm tummy.

When my foster family leaves, I do well in a gated off area with options for doggie beds. I prefer to have a foster sibling in there with me though.

I can’t wait to fall in love with you. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an online application if you don’t already have one on file. Then email Sheri Cromwell at LuckyCavaliersTX@gmail.com so she knows to pull your file.

Rosey in Virginia Beach, VA

Meet Rosey, the sweetest and most energetic girl! She’s an 8-year-old Ruby Cavalier who came to Cavalier Rescue USA from her family who had health issues.

It is clear she was well loved! She’s had lots of puppies and is going through some testing for her heart. She has a Grade 3 murmur and hypertension for which she is taking Pimobendan and Sildenafil. Rosey weighs 22 lbs, which is a good weight for her.

She has lots of energy but is also very happy to get on your lap and take long naps. At night she is comfortable sleeping in her crate or on your bed. She does well around other dogs. With them, she is initially shy, but then she warms up and likes to hang out with them. That said, Rosey seems happiest with her humans and so we want to place her in a family where she’ll be the only dog.

Rosey’s potty habits are perfect! She will alert you when she needs to go by going and standing at the door. She walks well on a leash but does need to be watched as she is very interested in squirrels. She knows “sit” and “stay”. She is truly such a sweet and loving Cavalier.

For Rosey’s adoption, we are looking for someone who is home most of the time to give this precious pup lots of love and attention. She will also be happiest as the only dog in the family.

If you live within a 3-hour driving distance of the Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area and believe your home would be a wonderful place for Rosey to thrive, we would love to hear from you! Please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then send an email to Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com to express your interest in Rosey. Thank you!
