Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

June in Plymouth, MA

Meet June! June is a very special dog! This happy tricolor girl with the puppy face is 6 years old, born 6/1/19, and is a very laid-back, calm dog, loving. She came to rescue from a family who could no longer keep her.

June is up-to-date on immunizations and preventatives and she is spayed. She was diagnosed with a grade 3 heart murmur, but no medication is needed at this time. Her new owner should be willing to follow up with a cardiologist every 6-12 months. She is hearing impaired but gets around well. June has recently seen a neurologist who suspects she has Syringomyelia (neurological disorder) This condition is being managed with medication. Since she takes her medication 4 times per day, someone home most of the time is necessary. Syringomyelia can cause discomfort in her neck and shoulders. For this reason, June does not like wearing a collar or harness, so for her safety and comfort, we are requiring a fenced-in yard for her.

June loves her food and snacks and can be possessive of them. She would be happy as an only dog, but if you’re willing to work with her on this behavior, she could be happy with a dog sibling as well. June only has 4 teeth, but this doesn’t stop her! We soak her kibble and she has no issues eating and having soft snacks.

June is an absolute pleasure. She is house trained with no accidents in her foster home. Her guilty pleasure is having a comfy place to snooze. June loves napping and is quite the snorer! She loves her crate at night, so having a separate space for her to sleep might be best for light sleepers.

June is great with kids, has a calm, gentle presence and is a wonderful companion!

If you would like this adorable girl to be a part of your family, have filled out a recent application, meet the criteria for her adoption and are within a reasonable drive of Plymouth, MA, please contact Barbara Blanchette at blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in June.

The Fabulous 5 in Dallas, TX

Cavalier Rescue USA in the Dallas TX area was able to take in this group of dogs when their owner asked for help after life changes resulted in his inability to keep the dogs. While we were told they were purebred Cavaliers, upon getting them into rescue, they appear to be a beautiful mix of Cavalier, Dachshund, and Papillon.

All were given health checks, microchips, vaccinations, and dentals or spay/neuter, and are on heartworm preventatives. Their ages range from 3-5. These dogs came to us scared and confused but have settled into sweet, healthy dogs and are ready for adoption.

Oreo is a 5-year-old, male, neutered and healthy tricolor. He weighs 15 pounds exactly and is the cuddliest, fluffy friend. He has a wonderful personality where he enjoys walks and playing with his foster brothers and sister as well as quietly lounging on the couch to watch TV.

Oreo would do best in a home with other dogs. He came from a home with many dogs and after a few days of quiet adjustment time, he does great with other dogs and new people are all friends he hasn’t met yet. He’s still working on potty training and thrives on routine and consistency. He also loves treats and is very food motivated!

Oreo is healthy and handsome. He’s ready for his forever home and new best friends in human and doggy form!

Gidget is one of the youngest of the group, only 3-years-old. She is a sweet, loving little girl who wants to always be by your side. She loves to be a couch potato while you are relaxing and will stay right by your side but once you are up and moving, she is right there with you! She can be a bundle of energy, running as fast as the wind, or sit quietly enjoying your presence while she is waiting for a belly rub.

She fits in nicely with other dogs but she would also be happy being the only dog in the family. She typically isn’t interested in cookies or treats, with the exception of a little piece of cheese.

Gidget received a great report from her visit to the vet and weighed in at 12.6 pounds. She walks well with a harness and leash and would enjoy daily walks. She is working on potty training and would benefit from a doggy door as she had one in her previous home. She is crate trained and will sleep all night in her crate but she would definitely prefer sleeping in the bed with a family member. Even if that’s not your plan, when she looks at you with her soulful eyes, you might change your mind about where she sleeps!

Louie is a neutered 2-year-old tricolor boy. He is highly intelligent with beautiful markings. He is full of love for his human and enjoys snuggling on the couch. He weighs 10 pounds.

He came to us with a limp. The vet did x-rays and could find no issues and the limp has resolved with some medication. He had a dental and neuter and is up to date on his vet work. He is a healthy boy. He is a light eater and sleeps well in his crate at night. His potty training is going well with frequent outings. He still wears a belly band in the house as a precaution.

He is still working on his social skills with other dogs. He loves his human so much that he can get jealous of others dogs around his person. He also is very nervous meeting new dogs so the introductions have to be slow. We have been working on this and it has greatly improved. He was very scared when we got him so building trust with him takes time but the reward of his love is worth it! He will either need to be an only dog or with an experienced dog owner who is confident in continuing his training. Louie will thrive in a calm and patient home with an adopter who is experienced with dogs.

Flynn is a 3-year-old male tricolor who is a bundle of energy and a very happy boy. This special boy would thrive in a home with a secure yard and a family that is home with him most of the time to share in his adventures and offer him lots of bonding time. He would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as he loves one-on-one time with minimal distractions.

He gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home. Flynn is mostly quiet only barking when the other dog in his foster home starts barking. He does like to patrol his yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood.

Once he feels secure in his environment, Flynn is a devoted companion who will stick by your side and happily curl up by your side for a cozy nap. He will need a family that is patient and willing to work with him until he learns to trust and feels less stressed in his new environment. He does have a bit of stranger danger for newcomers at his home. He will bark at visitors who come into your home. This is something we are currently working on with him. Though he is maturing, Flynn still has that puppy-like excitement, especially when treats and belly rubs are involved.

He is 18 pounds and has a clean bill of health! He has done great with potty training and uses a doggy door well. He also sleeps nicely in a crate at night. He loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is key to his daily routine. He enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion. His loyalty and love shining through his eyes makes Flynn an irresistibly wonderful boy.

Sofie is a sweet 5-year-old tricolor girl who is a petite 13 pounds. Just look at her beautiful, inquisitive bright eyes! Although Sofie may be a bit shy at first, once she warms up to you, she enjoys being by your side whether it is relaxing, playing or going for walks. She may be afraid of new people in the home, so patience is key for Sofie. Sudden noises and movement may startle her, this is most likely due to her prior environment.

Sofie likes to be on a set schedule and routine. She would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as she thrives one-on-one with minimal distractions. Sofie gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into her forever home. Sofie is mostly quiet only barking when the other dog in her foster home starts barking. She does like to patrol her yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood.

Once she is comfortable, Sofie is the quietest, sweetest girl you will ever meet. She loves belly rubs, playing and curling up with her foster parents. She is extremely intelligent and learns very quickly. She comes when called and sits on command. Sofie loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is a big part of her daily routine. She enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion.

She has done very well with potty training in foster care and will use a doggy door. She is also a very healthy girl! She is a perfect companion for anyone looking for a peaceful, loving dog to brighten their life. Those expressive eyes and her petite size make Sofie an irresistibly charming little girl.

If you think any of these sweet dogs would be a great fit for your family please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.

Marco in Dillsburg, PA

If you are looking for the consummate companion, look no further! Marco is an approximately five to six year old male Blenhiem Cavalier.

Before coming to rescue, Marco was used for breeding on a Lancaster County Farm, but we don’t know much about his past. Marco adjusted quickly to his foster home. He absolutely loves being part of the family. He especially loves his foster “brothers.”

Like most Cavaliers, Marco is a Velcro dog. He needs to keep tabs on “Mom” at all times and is often found under foot. Marco is very amenable and doesn’t have a contrary bone in his body.

Marco is fairly small at 14 lbs and very healthy. He is missing a few teeth and takes his time to eat his food. His remaining teeth all look good.

Marco is not adventurous with running and jumping, but he will get the zoomies once in a while.

Marco wears a harness and walks well on a leash. He enjoys shorter walks, but could work up to longer ones. And, of course, he gets excited to meet other dogs on walks.

Marco adores his foster brothers and wants to go to a home with at least one other dog. He has anxiety if crated alone, but he enjoys being in a crate with his brothers. At night he sleeps on the floor next to the bed, but he would love to sleep in the bed if possible. Marco sleeps all night and isn’t disruptive.

Since his neuter surgery, Marco has had very few accidents in the house. He is content to go out every few hours, and his urge to mark has faded.

This warm-hearted boy deserves to have a peaceful home where he can provide companionship and love to his new family.

If you would like to adopt Marco, please complete our online application if you don’t already have one on file. Then email Melissa at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com so she knows you are interested.

Millie Mae in Raymore, MO

Say hello to Millie Mae – originally from a commercial breeder, she was acquired by a Good Samaritan and released to Cavalier Rescue USA. Millie is 4-years-old born 8/21/2020.

Sweet Millie is adjusting well in her foster home. She likes to snuggle with her foster mom on the couch or on foster Dad’s lap in the recliner while watching TV. Cuddles and kisses are new to Millie, but she’s enjoying this affectionate interaction with humans. At bedtime, she’s quiet and sleeps through the night.

Millie has been spayed and had a dental cleaning. Her teeth were in bad shape – they had to pull 30 teeth and most of those just fell out. She only has ten teeth left, but she still has her canines and a couple of back molars. She has recovered from her spay surgery and is now eating regular dog food with no issues. Millie’s heart is good (no cardiac murmur), and her knees checked out fine (normal patella). She weighs 19 lbs, is microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative.

Millie gets along great with her foster dog siblings, and she likes to be near her foster parents. Recently, she started playing with doggie toys. She doesn’t bark very much, except when she’s playing with a toy. She doesn’t know how to jump up on the couch but will use the little doggie stairs to get up there. Good news – she has overcome her fear of crossing the door threshold from the sunroom to the patio so foster parents no longer need to pick her up to go outside. She is making progress!

She hasn’t had any accidents in the house or her crate. She does have one bad habit – she sometimes eats her own poop. She probably developed this habit in her previous environment. As a deterrent, we may try a supplement added to her food.

Walking on a leash is still new to Millie. She is hesitant and scared – but she will walk, and she is gradually getting more comfortable with this. With patience and praise, she’ll get there. Millie is a gentle, sweet, lovable dog. She will make someone a very good family pet.

Millie Mae is being fostered in Raymore, MO. If you think you might be the right person or family for her, please fill out our online application (if you have not done so already) – then contact Deborah Barnes at deborah@smarnes.com to let her know of your interest in Millie. Applicants who live within a reasonable driving distance of the Kansas City area will be considered.

Zoey & Zach in Spanish Springs, NV

Zach & Zoey are 5-years-old, born 10/24/19, and are bonded, loving, Blenheim Cavalier littermates. They came to Cavalier Rescue USA after their owner passed away.

Both dogs have a loving, classic Cavalier temperament. They love soft, fluffy, and warm spots to curl up to sleep and especially love a good lap to sleep in. This duo is eager to please and very low-energy. They would be best for a family who has some one home most of the time or has a very predictable schedule.

Zoey is more laid back than Zach and is also more family-oriented. She is very much an entire family dog and is very friendly from the first meeting. She is adaptable to all ages, from 3 years old up to adults.

She likes to follow around the family when she is not sleeping on the couch. From first the first meeting, Zoey will let you know how happy she is to be around you. She follows people around like glue.

Zach is a also very friendly but is slightly more timid with new people. He follows Zoey around and is never far from her unless he is sleeping on the couch or in an open, dark kennel. He adapts well to all family ages but tends to prefer gentler, older children and adults.

Once Zach has warmed up to his environment, he is a little more agile than his sister. He will chase after a toy thrown in the backyard, but doesn’t like to bring it back. He also can get up on the couch easily, unlike Zoey, who struggles a little more. Zach loves car rides and likes to tell his foster mom about it in the car. Otherwise he is very quiet like his sister.

This duo is generally house-trained and always goes outside when offered but has had a few pee accidents since being in foster care, likely due to stress and difficulty learning new family routines. Because of this, it would be best to have a new family who has a predictable schedule or has someone who is home most of the time. Otherwise, they do well when alone both free-roaming and kenneled.

Both dogs could lose some weight. Zach is 28 lbs, and Zoey is 32 lbs. Their target weight is approximately 25lbs. They have are both up-to-date on their vaccines and have a good bill of health. Both are fixed as well.

As bonded as pairs come, they are adoptable as a team only. If you are interested in adopting this Cavalier duo, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Judy Fitzpatrick at rjfitz@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest.

Kobe in Nashville, TN

Kobe is a sweet and affectionate ten month old Blenheim Cavalier, born on May 11, 2024. He’s a loving little pup who thrives on companionship, though he can be a bit timid at first. With a little patience and reassurance, he warms up quickly, greeting you with full-body wiggles and a playful spirit.

Kobe adores snuggling and will be your loyal shadow, always staying close to his humans and canine friends. Kobe spends his days playing with toys and napping on rotation. He especially loves carrying his favorite toys to his bed and engaging in playful tug-of-war with his foster siblings. He’s even learned to play fetch! While still getting used to human interaction, he finds comfort in the presence of his foster sisters and takes all his cues from them. Because of this, Kobe would thrive in a home with a playful dog to help him continue building confidence.

Kobe is an enthusiastic little adventurer who loves exploring the outdoors, and always with his foster siblings by his side. He’s still adjusting to being picked up and can be a bit shy when approached suddenly, so a home without young children would be best. He does well on a leash, enjoys meeting other dogs (big or small), and gets excited for car rides, especially when he gets to look out the window.

While he’s still mastering potty training, Kobe is making great progress. He needs frequent outdoor breaks throughout the day and at bedtime. He can nap in his crate for short periods, but prefers to be in the same room as his human, keeping an eye on you as he drifts off. Kobe would do best in a home with low alone hours, as he thrives on companionship. Kobe is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He’s ready to find a loving family that will continue his training with patience and consistency.

Kobe needs a home with a fully-fenced yard, someone who is home most of the time, and—most importantly—a furry sibling to help him grow. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, velcro pup who will be your loyal companion, Kobe is the perfect match! If you live within a three to four hour drive of Nashville, and believe Kobe could be the perfect addition to your family, we would love to hear from you.

Please complete our online application and email Sandy Medd at rescuecavaliers@gmail.com with your location, and a little about why you would be the perfect home for Kobe. He is ready to bring love, joy, and puppy energy into your life—could you be the one to give him the forever home he deserves?
