Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Oreo in San Antonio, TX

Here is Oreo with his new family…

Meet Oreo, a sweet and affectionate 3-year-old Cavalier-Dachshund mix who is ready to find his forever home! At just 9 pounds, Oreo is the perfect size for anyone looking for a portable companion. His silky, tricolored coat and expressive eyes make him an irresistibly charming little dog.

Oreo was surrendered due to changes in his previous owner’s living situation, but he’s adjusting beautifully to foster care and is eager to bond with a loving new family. He is mostly housebroken, knows how to use a dog door, and enjoys both quiet companionship and moments of playful curiosity.

Oreo is a devoted companion who will stick by your side and happily curl up in your lap for a cozy nap. He is mostly quiet, only barking when the other dogs in his foster home start barking. He gets along well with other dogs but would also be perfectly content as an only pet too. He’ll do best in a home with a fenced in yard. His calm demeanor makes him easy to live with, yet he still has a playful spark that shines through in his sly little expressions and bright, curious eyes.

Oreo has been recently vaccinated, neutered, and had a dental cleaning, so he’s in great health and ready for a fresh start.

If you’re looking for a lovable, low-maintenance companion who will shower you with affection, Oreo is the perfect match. His small size makes him easy to bring along on adventures, and his sweet, gentle nature makes him a joy to have around. Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy or a little shadow to keep you company, Oreo is ready to be your loyal best friend. He just needs a responsible, loving owner who will give him the happy life he deserves. Could that be you?

If you are interested in adopting this precious boy and live within a reasonable driving distance to San Antonio, fill out the online application if you haven’t already and then contact Rescue Coordinator Sarah Swanson at 210cavalierrescueusa@gmail.com so she knows to look up your application.

Scottie in Franklin, TN

Here is Scottie with his new family…

Meet Scottie, an almost 2-year-old Blenheim Cavalier with the most loving, happy-go-lucky disposition. He truly doesn’t know a stranger and gets along beautifully with humans and other dogs. Scottie is incredibly playful and affectionate, and he would be a wonderful addition to any home- preferably one with an owner who appreciates higher-energy dogs like him and can keep up! You would never know he was a rescue based on his personality.

Scottie’s favorite activities include cuddling on laps and showering his humans with kisses, playing keep-away with toys, and following his humans everywhere. He is the definition of a Velcro dog! Scottie also enjoys playing with other small dogs, though he is slowly gaining familiarity with cats and tends to bark at and chase them.

Scottie was micro-chipped and is now up-to-date on his vaccinations and preventatives. While in rescue, Scottie was treated for an ear infection that has since cleared up. He was also neutered during this time, and his teeth were professionally cleaned.

One amazing quality of Scottie’s is his intelligence. When he first entered rescue, he didn’t know how to walk with a leash. Over time, he has shown tremendous progress and is learning quickly! Scottie needs further assistance with potty training, but there is no doubt he can learn with a committed owner. Scottie would benefit most with an owner who is home most of the day to continue that reinforcement.

Scottie tends to stick close to his human and doesn’t venture far, though he should still be leashed in unfenced areas. Being an escape artist is not part of his M.O.! If his routine includes daily walks, he would fare just fine in a home without a fence.

If you want a loyal companion who won’t leave your side and would be an excellent fit in any environment (especially one with children), please make sure you have an application submitted and email Liz Nigh at lizcavalierusa@gmail.com to let her know of your interest in adopting Scottie. Please identify which state you are located in the email.

Ginger in San Jose, CA

Here is Ginger with her new family…

Hi, I’m Ginger, a 1 year old beautiful Blenheim sweetheart, I even have two ruby hearts on my coat to prove it. While I’m shy with new people, I’m very devoted to those I know and love. I’ll follow you around gazing at you soulfully and pleading for some attention while wagging my whole body. Sometimes I get so excited I jump up and put my feet on your legs to ask for more love. I play well with other dogs and am good about leaving my foster mom’s cats alone. I even play well with puppies.

I came to my foster home with worms and some malnutrition, which are now all handled. I’ve also had my spay and recovered quickly from it with no complications. My shots and microchip are all done too.

I’m very well crate and potty trained and will ask to go out with a whine and possibly put my feet on your leg to insist. So as long as you pay attention I’m a good girl about doing my job where I should. So I’m in great health and ready to find my forever home.

While I do enjoy attention, I also love to be active. I enjoy walks and exploring the backyard. I love to travel and have done excellently on long car trips with my foster family. I do greet other dogs, though sometimes I’ll move away from people rather than greet them. I do well at walking along with my foster mom and enjoy the new smells and sights. I particularly like time in the backyard and sometimes refuse to come back in. Be aware though, if left on my own for too long, I may decide to do a bit of gardening. I love chew toys as well, compressed rawhide, split antlers, and any toy with textured surfaces or good flavors will keep me busy.

I’m used to my crate and sleep there at night but I have napped with my foster mom some on the bed and do love to snuggle on the couch as well. I’m frequently found happily curled up with my foster siblings.

My foster mom has taught me several basic commands like sit, come, and stay, but I often choose when to listen to them. Yes, I’m a little independent 😀 However, if you’re patient and give me lots of positive reinforcement I’ll keep on learning. I’m very eager to be loved and pampered.

If you feel you’re a good fit for me, please submit an online application (completely filled out) so we can get to know you better and then send an email to our Northern California Coordinator Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com and let her know you’re interested in me. I’m looking forward to finding my furrever family.

With all my love, Ginger.

Blue and Ambrose in Dallas, TX

Blue and Ambrose are an incredibly loving pair of Black and Tan Cavaliers looking for their forever home. These two boys came into rescue after their previous owner sadly passed away, and they’ve been nothing but affectionate and sweet to everyone they meet.

Blue – The more outgoing of the two, Blue is always ready to snuggle and will happily curl up with you whenever you need a cuddle buddy. He has a beautiful long coat with unique streaks of gray on his chest. Blue also has two different-colored eyes—one of them a striking blue, which inspired his name. He is 2-years-old and 28lbs, he’s a big boy for a Cavalier, but he’s at a perfect weight for his tall frame.

Ambrose – A little more reserved than his brother, Ambrose may not be the first to greet you, but he’s never one to be left behind. His absolute favorite thing in the world? Walks! He gets so excited when he knows it’s time to go outside and explore. Ambrose has a wide, expressive face and a killer smile that will melt your heart. He is 3.5-years-old and 28lbs, he could stand to lose a few pounds, but with regular activity and a controlled diet, he’ll be in top shape in no time.

Blue and Ambrose both have beautiful, long, silky coats that will require regular grooming to keep them looking their best. Their fur is soft and flowing, making them even more stunning, but it does need consistent brushing to avoid tangles. Their handsome features, combined with their affectionate personalities, make them show-stoppers wherever they go!

The boys are both healthy! They have been neutered, up to date on core vaccinations, micro chipped, and on heart worm preventatives.

These boys will get deeply attached to their caregivers and would thrive as the only pets in the home, where they can soak up all the love and attention. They are both well crate-trained but can also be trusted alone in the house for a few hours. However, given their affectionate nature, they’d do best with a family that can be home with them most of the time.

Blue and Ambrose are truly special and will bring endless love and joy to their future family.

If you think these sweet boys could be the perfect match for you, please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Make sure you have an application on file if you haven’t already submitted one!

Georgia in Greenwood, IN

Here is Georgia with her new family…

Hello, I’m Georgia. According to my foster mom I have the sweetest most gentle soul you will ever meet. I am 5 years-old born July 3, 2019. I spent almost my whole life in a breeding facility. I wasn’t sure how to be a dog when I arrived here, but my foster siblings quickly taught me. I recently discovered how fun it is to run around the back yard and play. I enjoy bones and love playing with my stuffy toys by lining them up in a row. I do steal the occasional sock, but who doesn’t?

I am very laid back even though I can become a bit timid with new experiences. With the right encouragement, I am coming out of my shell. Potty training has been a work in progress. I am doing well with consistency.

The doctor gave me two thumbs up and thinks I am pretty special. She did mention I could stand to lose a pound or two, so I am currently watching my figure. I take walks around the neighborhood and have perfect leash manners. I prefer a harness which is good because foster mom says it’s safest.

I am in no way a watch dog. In fact, my foster mom is not sure I even know how to bark. Snore, yes, bark, no. Both cats and children are alright with me. However, I am less nervous with older children and would probably be happiest as the only dog. I sleep on my bed or in my create with the door open. I tend to sleep in; I am not really a morning person. When I eat my meals, I dine. I like to savor every bite. So, if there are other dogs in the house who might steal my food, I just let them. My foster mom feeds me separately, so this does not happen.

If you are interested in giving me a forever home, please fill out an online application (if you haven’t done so already). Then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know of your interest.

Jesse in Cincinnati, OH

Meet Jesse in Cincinnati, OH!

Jesse is a handsome, two-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who came into rescue after being surrendered by a breeder. Jesse has made incredible progress in foster care, but will need a little extra patience as he transitions from breeder life to beloved family pet.

Jesse is overcoming his timid nature and has grown to love sitting on his foster parents’ laps. While he was once very shy, he is steadily learning to trust people and now seeks out affection. Jesse is still working on conquering his fear of stairs, but he’s making great strides! Although Jesse is learning to trust humans, he adores his foster siblings. He loves to play, follows them everywhere, and learns from their example, which has been instrumental in helping him adjust to family life.

When Jesse arrived at his foster home, his fur was matted, but after some TLC, he’s now matte-free and thriving! Despite his rough start, he’s in good health. His back legs tuck a bit close to his body, which his vet attributes to prolonged fear and confinement in a crate. However, with time, love, and freedom to move, this should improve naturally. Jesse has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, so he’s ready to find his forever home!

Jesse is 90% potty trained. His only accidents occur in the morning. Jesse’s new family should pick him up and take him directly outside to ensure he does his business before coming back in. He’s a wonderful sleeper, happily snuggling in a gated area near his humans or curling up in bed, if invited.

Jesse is also quite an escape artist! He has managed to climb out of his exercise pen when left alone, though he ultimately settles down and falls asleep on his bed. Due to his history, his foster parents were hesitant to crate him, so a safe room with a door and, ideally, the company of other dogs would be best when he’s left alone. On the bright side, Jesse is fantastic in the car and incredibly patient during baths!

Jesse would thrive in a home with another friendly, playful dog. He would also be great as an only dog.  A secure, fenced backyard for playtime  is a must. Jesse will do best with low alone time to help build his confidence.  Jesse does fine with older, mature children. An adults-only home would also work for Jesse.

Ready to Meet Jesse? If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will melt into your arms for snuggles, Jesse is the perfect match! He will bring warmth and joy to your home as he continues to blossom into the happy, confident pup he’s meant to be.

To apply for adoption, please fill out our application. Then express your interest in Jesse by emailing Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net. Applicants must be within driving distance of Cincinnati.Online Application
