Rosie is a 1-year-old female tricolor Cavalier with a happy and active temperament. She absolutely loves to play fetch and will happily play until your arm is tired. Once she’s tired, she wants to sit on your lap and have a nice cuddly nap. She loves every person she meets! She plays well with the children in her foster home (10 and 12 years old) and knows how to drop her toy to play fetch.
She came to Cavalier Rescue USA as an owner surrender due to neurological symptoms of occasional yelping. She has been presumptively diagnosed with caudal occipital malformation syndrome (COMS) and syringomyelia (SM) by our trusted neurologist based on her symptoms, clinical signs, and breed predisposition. Since starting two medications (gabapentin and omeprazole), she is doing very well and her symptoms are almost entirely gone! She’s otherwise a healthy pup. She’s a smaller Cavalier at 14 lbs, and she’s been spayed and microchipped.
Rosie enjoys playing with small/similar sized dogs and would enjoy a companion, though she can be a little timid around larger dogs. She will also do well in a home where she’s the only one getting attention. She does ok with cats. Rosie is crate trained, although she doesn’t like to be crated at night. She’s had some basic training and knows sit, down, and leave it. She’s mostly housetrained but needs reminders to go potty outside to avoid accidents.
She has separation anxiety which worsens when she’s allowed to be near the door while you leave. We suggest crating any time you plan to go outside without her and working with her to become less anxious around doors. Her anxiety is much lower in the crate. She has gotten better with some work but needs to continue to work towards feeling safe when her people go outside without her.
Rosie is a busy girl and needs an active household where she can play fetch, go on adventures and take long walks. This will also help prevent boredom and her finding naughty ways to keep herself entertained. For Rosie’s presumed COMS and SM, she will need to continue to see the neurologist at least yearly. Her new family will need to be committed to lifelong medications to help manage her symptoms.

Here is Ozzie with his new mom…
Say hello to Ozzie! This handsome little 5-month-old Cavalier, born 6/14/24, is 8 ½ pounds of pure love! Whether you’re washing dishes, running errands, or hanging out on the couch, Ozzie will be right there with you, ready to curl up in your lap or on your feet! With his mellow temperament, sweet demeanor, and joyous personality, he truly will be a great addition to any family!
Ozzie has made his first trip to the veterinarian, receiving his microchip, preventatives, and vaccinations. He has been cleared by his veterinarian to join his forever family!
Ozzie loves company and adventure. He’s the perfect car ride companion and is content to peruse the aisles of your favorite store from his spot in your purse. One of his favorite activities is puppy play dates with his siblings, and he does great with neighbors, children, and other dogs. Ozzie has never met a stranger he doesn’t like!
He is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and will alert you when he needs to go potty. Ozzie can sleep all night in his crate with no accidents, snuggled up and snoring softly with his stuffed toys. We’re still learning how to eat well, and he seems to do best with a family mealtime.
Ozzie is growing and blossoming! If you think Ozzie could be your next companion, please fill out the adoption form if you have not already done so and send an email to Liz Nigh at Lizcavalierusa@gmail.com to let her know your interest. All applicants for Ozzie will be considered for the other two Blenheim puppies currently in Tennessee.

Here is Allie with her new family…
Meet Allie! She is a Blenheim Cavalier sweetheart looking for her forever home. Allie is 8-years-old and absolutely adorable! With big brown eyes, a tongue that hangs out and the cutest little walk, she has won over the hearts of all who have met her. Allie was given to rescue because her owner could not afford her spay and dental care.
Allie is great with other dogs and loves being around people. Her favorite things include going on walks, car rides, eating dinner, and snoozing.
She is hard of hearing so loud noises don’t scare her, but she does get startled sometimes if she doesn’t see you coming. Since coming to rescue, Allie has been brought up to date on all vaccinations, is up to date on her preventatives, has been groomed, spayed, is microchipped and has had a dental procedure. She is down to 3 teeth, so she is on a wet food diet. Other than her teeth and not hearing well she is a healthy girl.
Allie is a different dog since her dental procedure! She has so much more energy and seems so much happier! We think her teeth must have really been bothering her.
Allie is potty trained and also uses a dog door. She only barks when she needs a lift getting on and off of the couch, so she is generally very quiet. She’s super easy! Allie also walks well on a leash.
Allie has 3 dog companions in her foster home but is more attached to her foster mom than the other dogs. She gets along great with them but really cares most about where her foster mom is and what she is up to.
If you are interested in Allie, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, then email Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Thank you!

Here is the pup with his new family…
Meet Nonnie, the sweet senior gentleman with a heart full of love to share! This charming 10 year old Cavalier came into rescue from a shelter and has been a model guest in his foster home. Nonnie is the perfect companion for cozy evenings on the couch, where he’ll happily curl up next to you for a movie or a good book. Quiet by nature, Nonnie rarely barks but is always close by, ready for some affection once he’s warmed up to you.
Nonnie adores being outdoors, whether it’s for a little sunbathing or a gentle stroll around the yard. He’s even made fast friends with his playful puppy foster brother! With excellent house training and a love for car rides, he’s ready to explore the world with you by his side. At mealtime, Nonnie’s enthusiasm shines; he’s a true foodie who savors every bite!
This well-behaved boy has a calm temperament that makes him a joy to have around. Though Nonnie has a slight hearing loss and a unique gait due to his deformed left hind leg, he doesn’t let it slow him down. He’ll need a helping hand to get onto the couch or bed, but he’ll be thrilled to snuggle up once he’s there!
Nonnie’s ideal forever home would be a calm, carpeted space with minimal stairs, a fenced yard, and a family ready to spoil him with love. He’d be a wonderful companion for someone who’s home often, with older kids (10+) or another small dog to keep him company. Nonnie has a high prey drive, so he’d prefer a cat-free and small-animal-free household.
If you’re ready to give this gentle soul a loving retirement, fill out an application if you haven’t already and then email the rescue coordinator, Cindy, at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. You can read about the adoption process here: Process. Nonnie’s waiting to bring a little extra warmth and joy to your life.
