Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Cammy in Dorchester, MA

Here is Cammy with her new family…

Sweet, curious, happy, loving, endearing, bright, friendly, charming: all of these words aptly describe the petite lady whom we have named Camille. We call her Cammy for short.

Cammy is a four-year-old Blenheim born on October 24, 2020. She was released from a breeding facility. Despite her rough beginning in life, she is a trusting, affectionate little love bug, whose greatest desire is to love and be loved. Cammy loves people and other dogs, and greets everyone with a Cavalier wiggle and a wagging tail. She has been amazing in foster care.

Cammy is in excellent health, with no known issues. She is up-to-date on immunizations and preventatives. Cammy has been spayed and had a dental cleaning.

Cammy needs a calm home where someone is home most of the day, as she delights in human companionship. She enjoys cuddling on the couch and curling up next to her person. She sleeps all night in her crate and has had no house-training accidents in her foster home.

Another friendly dog of similar size and temperament in the household, while not necessary, would be fine for Cammy. She has not been observed around young children or cats, so the preference would be no cats and older, respectful children. Cammy enjoys a fenced yard, but also loves to walk on a leash, so a fenced yard is suggested but not required.

If you are looking for a loving Cavalier to add to your family, look no further. Cammy is your girl!

If interested in adopting Cammy, please fill out our online application if you have not already done so. Then email our New England coordinator Barbara Blanchette at Blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com to tell her of your interest in Cammy.Online Application

Murphy in Union City, CA

Here is the pup with his new mom…

Murphy is a sweet as pie 16.5 pound, 2-year-old boy that came from a less than desirable background as a breeder release. He was living in a pen with many other dogs and didn’t get much human interaction.

He’s so resilient though! At first grass, coming inside, food inside a bowl, and people scared and confused him, but in true Cavalier fashion he’s warmed up to all of that! On the first day he got over the grass and coming inside. Second day he mastered the doggy door. He also figured out that the best place for him is on the couch atop a pillow! He’s definitely been following the lead of his foster sibs and has gotten so much with better meeting new people.

He’s still a little wary of men, but that has been steadily improving as well. At first he was fine with the resident kitties, but now he prefers chasing them! He hasn’t shown much interest in playing fetch aside from chasing along with the other pups that do fetch. He LOVES bubbles though! He loves exploring the yard so an enclosed yard is a must. He will sometimes just hang out with a toy in the sunshine.

Murphy is a work in progress with his potty habits. He’s been marking rather than peeing, but he was just neutered and we’ve already seen an improvement. He had 2 teeth pulled at his neuter and is healing from that as well. He’s very healthy otherwise with no detectable heart issues. He’s up to date on all his vaccinations and is microchipped.

He gets along with all the dogs. Murphy is a true Cavalier! He’s an absolutely adorable, affectionate pup and will make someone very, very happy! He just needs patience and training with potty and walking on a leash.

Murphy is happy to sleep in his crate, but we are sure he’d be even happier in the big bed. He quietly sleeps through the night. He definitely likes having a pup companion, but he may do well as an only pup, too. He loves being with his people and is very affectionate, but not clingy. It’s been a privilege to see him blossom.

If you are interested in adopting Murphy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Brooke in Atlanta, GA

Meet Brooke! She is a very sweet, two-year-old tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is slowly but surely coming out of her shell.

She came to rescue underweight and very scared of everyone after her owner passed away. Despite her troubled past, she has a heart full of love for people and thrives on affection.

She enjoys car rides, eagerly wagging her tail with excitement before curling into a ball for a nice nap. This gentle pup also adores other animals, including cats, and is especially great with kids. She loves to sleep under the covers at the foot of the bed.

Her foster Dad says this is the best foster his family has had yet! Brooke is very eager to please and is a lovely dog who adores her people.

As she gains confidence, her playful and affectionate nature shines through, making her a delightful companion in a variety of situations. A fenced in backyard is key because she loves to run after squirrels, deer, and chases birds.

Brooke will be the perfect lady to join a loving family just in time for the holidays. Please consider Brooke as your next loving Cavalier.

Buddy in Austin,TX

Meet Buddy in Austin – Your New Best Friend! Looking for a loyal, playful companion? Meet Buddy! At almost 11 months old, born 01/15/2024, Buddy is a happy, healthy, and an active pup who is ready to find his forever home.

Buddy has a big heart and a bigger love for life. He’s always ready for a game of fetch and enjoys playing with his favorite toys. His friendly nature makes him great with other dogs, especially his foster fur siblings, with whom he loves to run and play outside. Buddy is the epitome of the affectionate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel personality, with a loving, social demeanor that makes him the perfect family pet.

He has quickly become part of our family, and his favorite place is curled up in one of our laps. He’s especially fond of our teenage boys and greets them with pure joy whenever they walk into the room. Buddy has also been around young children and did just fine, making him a great fit for a variety of family dynamics.

Buddy is nearly potty trained. He’s mastered the doggie door, and with regular bathroom breaks, he consistently does his business outside. He loves his walks and is well-behaved on a leash. When it’s time to settle down, Buddy sleeps contently in his crate without fuss.

Buddy is neutered and microchipped. Because of a delay between puppy shots, he will be due for his final round of vaccinations later this month. He has been vaccinated for rabies. He is on Simparica Trio for heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.

This little sweetheart thrives on attention and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. He is great with other dogs but could also be happy as the only dog if he’s not left alone for long periods.

Frankie in Los Angeles, CA

Hi everyone! Everybody is calling me “Frankie” since arriving to foster care, but I will answer with a wagging tail to whatever endearment you may call me. I am a smart, agile and playful Blenheim Cavalier with a beautiful lucky spot on top of my head. My foster Mom says I have a sweet expressive puppy face with soulful eyes. I weigh 16.5 pounds which is a good weight for me. I’m ready to find my forever family.

My exact birthdate is not known since I was part of a release from a commercial breeder and arrived to foster care with no documentation. At my intake exam, the vet said I’m approximately two years old now based on my teeth and stature. I was living with lots of other dogs where I did not get the attention that a cute Cavalier like me needs and deserves. That has all changed, and I am living the good life and learning many things.

Due to my previous background, I am a bit skittish around people and can bark and shy away when a new human approaches. With patience, I will slowly approach on my own terms. I like to give and receive kisses. I love cuddles, pets and snuggling in laps. I have not been around children. I would probably do best with older dog-savvy children as I still get nervous with sudden movements, new noises, and new people.

I am currently living with three other Cavaliers and have seamlessly joined the pack. I love to play with my foster Cavalier siblings and take naps curled up together with them. I get anxious and vocal when by myself, and can be quite the escape artist when that happens. I desire a home with another canine companion of similar size and a good temperament.

Did I tell you that I am very nimble? Just like Spiderman! I can climb up and over shorter dog gates and brick walls. I have even been known to chew through mesh gates. My foster Mom thinks that I would be a good fit for agility classes. I have tried out some agility equipment, and really love the tunnel and jumps.

I have also discovered toys and love to gently chew on small stuffed squeaky toys. I love walks on the leash. I still get a bit scared when cars drive by and I see big dogs, but I am getting better on each walk. My house training is a work in progress with frequent trips outside to help me understand expectations. I am eager-to-please, and am very happy when praised with positive reinforcement. I currently wear a belly band in my foster home for some marking which should decrease now that I am neutered. If I am told “no” I will run away, and get scared while making cute puppy eyes.

While in foster care, I have received the medical care I needed. I was brought up to date on vaccines and neutered, which included removal of an undescended testicle. I was also treated for parasites. Now that I am healthy and eating well, my coat is now growing in straight and glossy. I am easy to groom, as I love my baths and being pampered.

I enjoy my good diet of kibble mixed with Just Food For Dogs. I have enjoyed trying pumpkin, carrots, broccoli and blueberries. I get really excited to eat and get my own bowl of food. I will get very vocal and dance around waiting for my food, and then I gobble it up very fast. I use a slow feeder bowl which I enjoy. I need to be watched when I eat so I do not try to eat my canine siblings’ food. I am very treat-motivated, and have enjoyed learning some basic obedience. I really like to please and I am a quick learner.

I am eager to find my very own family and continue living the good life. My ideal family should be patient, and have an experienced owner at home with low alone time.

If you are interested in meeting me, and live within a reasonable driving distance to the Los Angeles area, please complete the online application if you have not yet done so. Then email Donna Beirne at d_beirne@yahoo.com she knows of your interest.

Lilly in Trempealeau, WI

Meet Ms. Lilly! This adorable pup came to rescue when her senior owners discovered they really weren’t up for a puppy.

This girl has a sweet and sassy personality. Lilly is a petite, Blenheim girl born on June 4, 2024. She loves to chew bones, play with her toys but cuddling when she is tuckered out is one thing she excels at. Lilly will go in her crate for quiet time without much fuss. She is working hard on pottying outside and so far doing very well.

Lilly tends to want to be in charge. She will need boundaries and correction if her attitude is not appropriate. Working with a trainer to guide her would most likely benefit Lilly. She is very treat motivated and has started to learn sit, wait, stay and patience at feeding time.

Another dog in the home would be good for Lillly to get her energy out and to be shown proper dog manners. A fenced in yard will be best for Lilly. While she isn’t a fan of the leash and collar or harness she is learning and does walk with it on. It will be necessary to keep up with teaching her about a leash and collar and harness.

Lilly is a healthy pup. She will need to be spayed when she is about 9-10 months of age, with documentation of this sent to rescue.

Lilly has heard all about Santa and if she is a good girl, will have a stocking full of treats on Christmas morning. Will you help Lilly with an address for Santa to stop at?

If you are interested in adopting Lilly, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Diana at cavalierrescueusa.mn.wi@gmail.com so she knows you are interested and will pull your application for consideration.
