Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Please Help Amelia! ❤️

Meet Amelia. Amelia was released by her breeder to Cavalier Rescue USA after being diagnosed with a heart murmur. She then saw our cardiologist for a work up and was diagnosed with a serious heart issue called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This is a congenital heart defect that occurs when a large heart vessel fails to close down at birth.

Amelia needs surgery to fix this problem. The goal of surgery is to close the ductus arteriosus and have normal blood flow in the heart chambers. When PDA is caught and treated early, most dogs will enjoy a long and normal life. Click here to learn more: PDA. Without the surgery, this little angel will likely go into congestive heart failure.

That said, for now, Amelia doesn’t know she’s so sick. She’s a typical, happy Cavalier puppy. She’s keeping her foster family on their toes with her puppy antics and abundance of playful energy! She charms everyone she meets.

Please donate toward Amelia’s medical care by completing the form below. You can also click here: https://cavalier-rescue-usa.snwbll.com/amelia-s-heart-surgery. We are grateful for any donations you can give. With your help, this puppy’s heart can be mended and she can go on to live a normal life.

Andrew in Rogersville, MO

Meet Andrew! Andrew is a 4-month-old, sweet-natured, playful boy born on January 5th. He came to Cavalier Rescue USA through a Good Samaritan. He is a handsome Ruby Cavalier with white on his chest, under his chin, and on the tips of his feet. Andrew is a healthy, easy-going pup who quickly settled into his foster home and made friends with his Cavalier housemates.

Andrew is friendly, happily wags his tail, and jumps about when excited. He is a lively boy who enjoys playing with fuzzy toys, chewing on bones, and tug-of-war with his housemates. He is excellent at sharing his toys and has shown no tendencies towards possessiveness. Outside, Andrew likes to romp in the yard and chase after his housemates. Inside, he follows his foster mom around the house wherever she goes. He is well-mannered with children and newcomers and loves being petted. He takes treats politely and also enjoys licking Easy Cheese from your finger. Andrew is an active puppy!

Andrew is a great snuggler! He loves to nestle as close as possible and kiss your face. Sitting near you and chewing on a bone is his favorite downtime activity. Andrew sleeps in a crate beside his foster mom’s bed at night. Going to sleep takes a few minutes, and Andrew protests about having to go to bed. However, after a few minutes of calm reassurance from his foster mom, Andrew settles down and sleeps all night. In the morning, after pottying, Andrew snuggles in bed with his foster mom and Cavalier housemate for a few extra minutes of shuteye.

Andrew is a smart puppy with a strong food drive, making training easier. He is working on sitting and walking politely on a leash. Andrew recognizes his name and comes when called. However, he will need continued training on basic commands. Andrew is not potty trained, and he will need a watchful eye. He does best on a regular schedule, but as a puppy, he occasionally has an accident. Therefore, supervision is necessary while Andrew acclimates to the household routines of his forever home.

Andrew is healthy, microchipped, and up-to-date with vaccinations. However, he will need neutering at 9-10 months old. He is currently too young for that procedure. The adoptive family will have to agree to provide that procedure for him. The adoption will be based on that agreement and not final until proof of the completed procedure is provided to Cavalier Rescue USA. In addition, Andrew has a very small umbilical hernia that has been repaired once. A veterinarian must decide whether the hernia needs additional repair. If so, the procedure is minor and can be done with Andrews’ neuter.

Andrew will make an ideal companion for active individuals and families. Andrew will do best in a home with established routines and another easy-going, mature dog.

Please fill out our online application if you haven’t already and you want to provide Andrew with a loving home. Then email Sarah at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in this delightful boy.

Mallory in New Hope, PA

If you’re the type of person who likes to plan ahead, petite, six-year-old Blenheim girl Mallory is exactly the Cavalier you need to save on your heating bill next fall and winter. She is a total snugglebug who wants to be with you all the time, whether relaxing on your lap or next to you. In every season, you won’t be able to resist her big, bright Cavalier eyes. Mal is quite shy and will build trust with a regular routine of tiny treats and a calm household. She is generally a mellow dog, and when she isn’t napping, she explores the fenced yard with her foster cat and dog siblings.

On leash in her harness she walks well, though she does take time to stop and smell the flowers, and lots of other things, too. She is friendly with other dogs, although she will bark at them if she sees them from inside her foster parents’ house. Occasionally she gets a little zoomy and plays with a toy or a tennis ball or chases a moth in the yard. Presently she sleeps at night in a crate in her foster parents’ bedroom, but her foster mom and dad are sure she would enjoy sleeping in the big bed.

Mallory was released by a Lancaster County breeder into rescue. In foster care she was vetted and is heart clear. She has been spayed and had a dental during which she had 16 teeth removed. You might notice the cutest little underbite or Elvis-ish snarl. She may have some hearing impairment but at a certain volume, she does hear her name. Like a lot of Cavaliers, she has a good appetite and will gobble her kibble and wet food – in fact, breakfast and dinner are her two favorite times of day, so her foster parents are careful not to overfeed as she is at just the right weight at 12 pounds. Mallory had a seizure like episode in the car shortly after she was picked up from the farm. She immediately saw the vet and was noticed to be stressed and had high blood pressure but her blood work was normal. She was put on blood pressure medication and was weaned off of it in reacue and no other seizure like behaviors were seen. The veterinarian thought it was isolated stress related incident.

She is still fine-tuning her potty training but has made steady progress. Rainy days aren’t her favorite, so some extra effort is needed to help her focus on pottying on those days. You have to watch to make sure she does her business. Car rides, baths and brushing are a-ok with cute-as-a button Mallory. As long as her human is nearby, she’s content.

Mallory would do best in a calm home with no kids or older kids preferred. She is not the leader of the pack but likes to see out the other dogs in the house so another small dog as a companion would be preferred.

If you think you will be a good fit to be a family for Mallory, please make sure you have an updated application on file and email Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) to let her know you want to be considered.

Charlie Brown in Little Rock, AR

Introducing Charlie Brown, just like the lovable Peanuts character, this little 6 month old Blenheim born 12/02/2024 is as sweet as they come. Since being born into rescue, Charlie Brown has won the hearts of all who have cared for him as he is the most affectionate and happy go lucky puppy ever.

Charlie Brown is an adorable little guy weighing only 8 pounds but has boundless puppy energy and loves to play with his foster poodle sibling or fetch a ball. His other favorite thing is to cuddle with you on the couch especially when it’s time to watch TV or read. He’s also a snuggler with his foster siblings in their dog bed. Charlie Brown is a true “love bug” who loves everyone, other dogs, kids and even gets along with cats.

He’s just the sweetest Cavalier puppy and hardly ever gets in trouble, but, being a typical puppy he has chewed on a few shoes and digs in the yard sometimes. Charlie Brown will need his new family to continue with his puppy training including house training. He hasn’t had many accidents and goes outside with the other dogs but doesn’t “ask” to go outside to do his business. Charlie Brown goes in his crate when left alone (for short periods of time), but he doesn’t sleep in his crate at night since he loves to sleep in the bed with his foster family.

Charlie Brown is used to a nice big fenced in backyard where he’s got tons of energy to run, chase balls and wrestle with his foster family dogs. His ideal forever home should have a fenced in yard and maybe another small young dog or two. Charlie Brown would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day to give him the attention and cuddles he deserves. He would be a sweet and playful companion for loving, gentle children as he’s wonderful with his foster family’s young grandchildren.

Charlie Brown hasn’t been walked on a leash much but is fine with his harness and likes to ride in a car. His health is good overall and has been fully vetted with all his required puppy shots and is microchipped. His new family will need to have him neutered when he’s 9 or 10 months old and send in the certificate to rescue. When it comes to food, Charlie Brown is such a happy busy puppy, that he eats bits at a time rather than gobbling it all down at once. His forever family will need to make sure he has a quiet place to eat all his food so that he continues to gain weight.

If you are looking an affectionate, adorable little freckle face Cavalier puppy, Charlie Brown will be the perfect addition to your family. All that’s required is lots of love, patience, care and help training this sweet boy and he will give much more in return.

Feel free to fill out an online application to adopt if you haven’t already, and then contact Whitney Barron, Arkansas Coordinator, at: wbarronp@gmail.com, and let her know of your interest.

Sage in Monticello, IL

Sage came to Cavalier Rescue USA when his family recognized that he needed more time with his people. He has quickly adjusted to his foster home and we expect he will do the same with a new forever family.

Sage just turned 2-years-old on March 27th. He has seen our vet who treated one ear for an infection. His former family relayed that he had seasonal allergies last fall. He is not having any allergy problems currently. His vet exam showed him to be in good health. He is up to date on his vaccines, is on Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and has a microchip. Sage weighed 16 pounds at his appointment.

Sage is living with a foster family who has one retiree and two older Cavaliers to keep him occupied during the day. Four days a week, a 3-year-old grandchild comes to spend the work day. Sage enjoys everyone! He loves to run in the physically fenced yard and playing with a ball is a daily activity. We try to spend a few extended periods of time outside in the morning. When the grandchild naps, so does Sage. Sage is ready to play and snuggle when the foster dad gets home from work.

Sage’s new family will need plenty of toys! He loves balls, yak chews, and stuﬃng free crinkle toys. Sage doesn’t always know the diﬀerence between things that are toys and things that aren’t toys. He is learning and will usually give up his prize easily. We have also been learning that shoes and socks and small kids toys need to be put away or kept out of his reach. Sage sleeps well in a crate at night, but would love to sleep with his people. Afternoon naps on the couch with his foster mom are a favorite. He loves to be on you when he sleeps!

Sage has had a few pee accidents in his foster home. He doesn’t currently have a clear signal that he needs to go outside. He is getting plenty of opportunities to be outside and we have been rewarding him with praise and treats to enforce the behaviors we want. Wearing a belly band for a time in a new home will help him remember. Having a furry friend would also help support Sage’s learning in a new environment.

Sage is very sweet. He is still young and you can see it in how he spends his day. He has periods when he needs to play or run and then he naps. He has learned our routine and has fit in with our family quickly.

Sage has a list of things he would like in a new family: Someone who works from home or is retired: Sage needs someone home the majority of the day. He is not happy when his people are gone too long. A secure and physically fenced yard: Sage did not have a fenced yard in his previous home and he loves the freedom of running full speed in the yard. A furry friend: Sage has not been exposed to cats, he has been asking the Cavaliers in his foster home to play, but only one has joined him.

If you feel like your family could be the perfect fit for Sage, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Meg Eisenmenger at cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com so she knows that you are interested.
