Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Twila in Henrico, VA

Twilia is a gentle, sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who has traded in her days as a breeding mama for the quiet comforts of home—and she’s loving every minute of it!

She was reported to be about 5 years old, although the vet thinks she is closer to 3-4 years old and appears to have had one litter. She is 17 lbs. She has a slight murmur that the vet states is almost undetectable, so just like all Cavaliers, this will need to be watched. She is in excellent health.

Twilia is a calm and easygoing pup who spends much of her time lounging near her people. She gets along well with other dogs. She catches on quickly to the daily operations of the house, is learning to love treats, and does love to be praised and will give you a big smile and enthusiastic tail wag when you do.

While Twilia is a sweetheart through and through, she does have a flight response; sudden noises or unfamiliar situations can make her bolt, so she’ll need a watchful eye and secure surroundings to help her feel safe and loved. Due to this, she can only be adopted by families with a secure yard. Twilia would prefer to stay in the house and lounge on the furniture.

She’s still discovering what it means to be someone’s cherished companion, but with the right home, she’ll thrive as a beloved family member.

Lady & Angel in Skaneateles, NY

Update 6-13-25: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Meet Lady and Angel, a bonded pair of 2-year-old sweethearts looking for their forever home. These girls are loving littermates born 09/14/2022 and recently released from very devoted owners whose work schedule no longer allowed them to give these girls the time they deserve. Though it was an extremely difficult decision, they are thrilled to know that these beautiful Cavaliers will find a wonderful new family to meet their needs. These two cuties are ready to bring double the joy to one lucky family!

Angel is a playful pup, curious, bright-eyed, and always ready to chase a toy or explore. She plays fetch as well as any Retriever! She’s an active and healthy girl that weighs 17 lbs.

Lady is your classic Cavalier lap dog, gentle, calm, and most content snuggled with you. The vet said she has a grade 1 luxating patella on her right side but she shows no symptoms of this and no treatment is indicated. Also, the vet mentioned a heart murmur that was “barely audible” at the time of her visit. Lady weighs 15 lbs.

Both dogs are spayed and micro-chipped, and up-to-date on core vaccines and preventatives.

Together, these girls strike the perfect balance of fun and affection. Both are fully house-trained, pen-trained, and have wonderful manners inside their foster home. They love daytime naps in their pen, and have worked on overnight adjustments as they were raised sleeping with their human in the big bed. They arrived in foster care with a nice foundation in training of basic commands and appear eager to learn more!

The girls are interacting well with their four new Cavalier friends at the foster home. They lived with cats prior to their release. They are friendly to anyone who is looking to offer them some attention. They are calm and quiet in the car and wag nonstop during any outings.

They’ve known nothing but love and are now looking for a forever family to share it with. Someone who is home much of the time is a must for these two love bugs ! Angel has requested someone who will play and engage with her. Lady has asked for someone who will love cuddles and puppy kisses!

If you are the one for these two, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Michelle Farnum at cavalierrescueny@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Cherry Blossom in North Wales, PA

Cherry Blossom is a sweet Blenheim estimated to be 7 years old. She came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a commercial breeder.

She is a happy friendly pup, loves her human people and welcomes all visitors. Cherry is fine with dogs and wants to meet all she sees. She enjoys her playpen where she sleeps and eats. Cherry is not a lap dog but wants to be near you and is always asking for attention and love. An exception is during a thunderstorm or heavy downpour when she will run to jump in your lap for reassurance.

She will try to chase squirrels, birds and cats outside so she will always need to be leashed. She walks well on leash but isn’t a fan of prolonged walks. An enclosed securely fenced yard would work well for additional exercise.

Cherry is housebroken and knows “come, sit, stay and go pee.” She prefers not to be left alone, but if given a treat and left in her playpen, she is fine. She also loves car rides and does great. If you’re cooking in the kitchen she’ll be right there in a snap. Of course she’s always looking for a treat!

She has a grade 3 heart murmur and will need regular cardiologist visits. She is currently taking Pimobendan. She is doesn’t do well with poultry and is currently on a lamb based digestive kibble which she eats from a slow feeder bowl. She doesn’t like vet visits but isn’t aggressive. She has been spayed, had a dental cleaning with 10 teeth extracted, and is micro-chipped. She is up to date on all her immunizations and weighs 27 pounds. She has lost weight while in foster care but could lose a little more. She takes a monthly heartworm medicine and topical flea and tick treatment.

If you are interested in adding sweet Cherry to your family and live within a reasonable driving distance of North Wales PA, she would love to meet you. Just complete the online application if you haven’t already, and then send an email to Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com to let her know of your interestand include your location.

Chase in Smyrna, DE

Here is Chase with his new family…

Chase is a friendly, adorable 2-year-old male Blenheim Cavalier who was born July 12, 2022. He came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a breeder who wanted to focus on breeding smaller dogs.

Chase is the happiest and most loving guy! He enthusiastically greets everyone he meets. His tail never stops wagging. He loves to be with people and will snuggle with you for as long as you want. He loves to be outside and to run and explore the world around him. He gets along nicely with all the dogs in his foster home. He loves treats and mealtime and gets very excited when it’s time to eat. He will gladly go in his crate for a treat at bedtime or if his people are leaving the house. His beautiful coat will need to be brushed regularly, which he enjoys immensely. He often falls asleep while being brushed.

Chase is in excellent health. He is neutered and microchipped. The vet recommends the use of over-the-counter eye drops twice a day to keep his eyes clean and comfortable. He sits nicely for his eye drops.

Chase is still learning to walk on a leash, but he is doing very well. He is very smart and picks up new things quickly. He is eager to please. He likes to go for rides and does well up front so he can be near you and look out the window. He would love to sit in your lap, so a secure doggie seat is recommended to keep him seated safely. He will be happiest with an active family and a home with a fenced in yard for play.

If you are interested in Chase, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Charlotte Rose in Cherry Hill, NJ

Update 6-9-25: We have a home visit upcoming for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Say “hello” to Charlotte Rose, or Charlotte for short. She is an adorable three-year-old female Blenheim Cavalier who came into rescue from a very loving home where the owner’s health and living situation changed.

Charlotte is very social, and loves to greet anyone while on a walk, at a store, or any other place where she encounters new people. In her foster home, she has truly enjoyed being part of the pack with the two resident Cavaliers.

Charlotte gets along well with her foster dog sisters and humans as well; both adults and children. She is not shy, and has greeted all visitors at her foster home with excitement and enthusiasm.

Charlotte enjoys going on walks, does well on a leash and loves car rides. What she loves most, however, is going on adventures with her family where she can run and explore parks, fields, and trails.

Charlotte loves to be near her humans most of all, and will cuddle up with you on the couch or lay on the floor next to you. She absolutely loves pillows and will choose her favorite one to lay on, even if it’s one you are actively using.

Charlotte came into foster care weighing 23.8 pounds, which is slightly overweight for her frame, but she has already lost more than two pounds while being fed a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise. Her ideal family will be one who can continue her weight loss journey towards her perfect weight of 17–18 pounds.

Charlotte is very active and walks one to three miles a day with her foster sisters, which has enabled her to make progress towards a healthy weight.

Charlotte knows some basic commands such as “come,” “sit,” and “stay.” She is fully housebroken, and will alert you when she needs to go outside by standing near the door.

Charlotte sleeps in her dog bed, however she would much prefer sleeping in the big bed with her family. She loves being near her humans and dog family at all times, so don’t be surprised if she figures out how to get on the bed on her own.

Charlotte gets along with other dogs, adults and children of all ages. She has not, however, been tested with cats.

Charlotte has had a dental x-ray and cleaning with no extractions. She is up-to-date on all her vaccines, spayed and microchipped.

If you would like this beautiful girl in your home and are within two hours of Cherry Hill, please fill out out online application if you have not already done so. Then email Rebecca Plimpton at beckplimpton@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Charlotte Rose.

Harriet in Burien, WA

Meet Harriet – Our Sweet & Sassy Senior Lady!

Harriet is a 9-year-old female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a gentle soul and a quietly confident charm. Her coat was clipped very short just before she came into rescue, but her soft ears and beautiful feathering are starting to grow back in nicely—just like her sense of comfort and security.

She’s settling in wonderfully with her foster family and continues to impress us with her steady, adaptable nature. She’s eating, sleeping, and pottying like a pro (A+ across the board!). While she can be a little cautious at first, once she feels safe, she opens up and shows her affectionate, playful side.

Before coming into rescue, Harriet wasn’t fed regularly—if at all—which has made mealtime an exciting event for her. Now, she eats with gusto! She’s fed separately from the other dogs so no one has to share against their will, and her foster family stays nearby while she eats, which she finds reassuring. She gets especially excited for treats and can be a little grabby when taking them, but her foster family is working with her on this and believes she’ll become more patient and gentle as she learns that she’ll never miss another meal.

She’s not a fan of stairs (her foster family carries her when needed), but she will easily jump up onto a couch or an available lap. Harriet loves attention, belly rubs, and cozy naps—all of which are now part of her daily routine, and frankly, non-negotiable.

While she’s mellow and easygoing, Harriet also has a playful streak. She loves her walks, chases toys, and will challenge other pups for a favorite ball. She’s a confident female—not shy about setting boundaries with other dogs—but she’s never aggressive. She enjoys gentle children and gladly accepts pets from friendly strangers during outings.

Harriet is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She had a dental while in rescue to treat severe dental disease, and now she eats softened food since she only has a few teeth left. She takes daily medication for mitral valve disease (common in Cavaliers), but she currently shows no symptoms and has plenty of pep. She also has a cataract in one eye, but this doesn’t seem to bother her.

Whether you’re in a crowd or enjoying a quiet night in, Harriet is an easygoing companion who’s happy to adapt. She sleeps fine in her own open space but would be thrilled to share your bed (and she doesn’t even snore!).

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who’s been through a tough chapter but still greets life with joy and trust, Harriet may be the perfect fit. She’s ready for her forever home, the one where mealtimes are guaranteed, love is endless, and the snuggles are mutual.

If you think Harriet would be the perfect addition to your family, and live within a reasonable distance to Burien WA, please complete the online application (if you haven’t already) and email Cynthia Kastner at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know you’d like to be considered.
