Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Mochi in Northbrook, IL

Meet Mochi, a sweet and lovable Blenheim looking for her forever home! Mochi is a 5-year-old (her birthday is 7-17-2021), 25-pound female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is as sweet as they come. She was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by her breeder who wanted the perfect forever home to be found for her. She arrived with a very short haircut, but it’s growing out nicely and she should have a long, beautiful, natural Cavalier coat in no time.

With her calm and gentle personality, Mochi is a loving companion who enjoys being very close to her people and soaking up all the attention she can get. Mochi can be a little shy when meeting other dogs, but she is curious about them and takes her time getting comfortable. She is friendly with new people and is especially sweet with children.

If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion, Mochi may be your girl! One of her favorite things in the world is getting belly rubs, and she is always happy to settle in and enjoy some love and attention from her people. She is a very lovable girl who would thrive in a home where she can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Mochi is house trained and crate trained for sleeping. She hardly ever barks, making her a wonderfully quiet companion.

Mochi enjoys being outside and loves exploring her surroundings. She especially enjoys running after squirrels, so a safe, physically fenced yard is important for her to have in her forever home so she can continue to enjoy some off leash outdoor time. She also walks nicely on a leash and would love to take leisurely neighborhood walks with her forever family.

Mochi is a very healthy girl! She was spayed and had a dental with extractions while in our care. She is also up to date on her core vaccines, heartworm, flea/tick preventatives and is microchipped. Mochi is a bit overweight, so she needs a family that is devoted to her continued weight loss journey with a healthy food, controlled portions and daily exercise. She is also currently on a joint supplement since she has been overweight since arriving to her foster home.

Mochi is a very sweet girl with so much love to give, and her gentle nature and curiosity make her a wonderful companion. Once she knows you, she is ready to give you all the love she has. If you are looking for a gentle, sweet, lovable Cavalier to share your home and your heart with, Mochi just might be your perfect match!

If you meet all of Mochi’s requirements and feel she would thrive in your home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then send an email to Carrie Thiergart at cavalierrescuecarrie@yahoo.com to let her know that you are interested at being considered.

Ash in Norristown, PA

Ash is a handsome, sweet 3-year-old Blenheim boy born 6/18/2023 who came to Cavalier Rescue USA when his previous owner was no longer able to care for him. Since arriving in foster care, Ash has blossomed into a loving, playful, and affectionate companion who is ready to find his forever family.

When Ash first arrived, he was a little underweight and unsure of his new surroundings. With patience, consistency, and lots of love from his foster mom, he has grown into a much more confident dog. While he initially displayed some territorial marking behaviors, those have improved as he settled into a stable routine. As a precaution, he is kenneled when his foster mom is away from home. At night, he sleeps peacefully in his crate and does well with his daily routine.

Ash likes to keep an eye on his surroundings and takes his self-appointed watchdog duties seriously. If someone approaches the house or comes to the door, he’ll happily let you know with an alert bark. It may take him a moment to settle after making sure everyone is aware of a visitor, but once he’s satisfied that all is well, he’s ready to return to playing, cuddling, or following his people around. His foster mom sees this as one of the many ways Ash shows how devoted he is to those he loves.

Ash currently lives with a Black Labrador Retriever and loves having a canine friend to play with. He would thrive in a home with another young friendly, active dog who can continue to help him gain confidence. He is also wonderful with children of all ages.

This sweet boy adores affection and wants to be close to his people whenever possible. Ash is an active, fun-loving Cavalier who enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime. One of his favorite activities is chasing balls, and he will happily play fetch as long as you throw the ball. He also loves a good game of tug-of-war with both dogs and humans. Because of his social and playful personality, Ash would do best in a home where he can stay active, engaged, and included in family life.

Ash is eager to please and enjoys learning. He knows commands such as sit and down and enjoys working for treats and praise. Speaking of treats, food is one of Ash’s favorite things! He gets very excited at mealtime but has learned to sit patiently and wait for his food. He is currently eating Fromm kibble and has reached a healthy weight of approximately 14 pounds.

Ash has not been tested with cats. Based on his foster mom’s observations, he may do well with a cat, though his bubbly and playful personality could be a bit much for some feline friends.

Most importantly, Ash is a sweet, loving boy who has truly flourished in foster care. He is ready to find a family that will provide the companionship, affection, attention, and fun he deserves.

Ash is a wonderful young Cavalier with a playful spirit and a loving heart. Whether he’s chasing a tennis ball, playing tug-of-war, cuddling with his people, or making friends with other dogs, Ash brings joy wherever he goes. He’s ready to find the forever family he’s been waiting for.

If you think you would be a good family for Ash and you live within driving distance of Norristown, PA let us know. Please make sure you have an updated application on file and email us at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as Ash’s forever family.

Brody in Eagle, ID

Brody is a five-year-old Cavalier with a wonderfully sweet disposition and a gentle, easygoing personality. He is a true gentle giant: he’s remarkably calm, very low energy, and one of the easiest dogs to have around. Brody rarely makes a sound, and his favorite place in the world is probably right beside his person, preferably in a lap getting as many cuddles as possible.

Brody is fully housetrained and sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He loves being with his people and will happily follow them around, but he doesn’t demand attention or make a fuss when he is settled in his crate.

Brody spent most of his life living with canine companions, so he is very comfortable and happy having other dogs around. In fact, we think he may prefer a home with another dog or dogs. He is also friendly with cats and kids.

Brody appears to have lost much, if not all, of his hearing. He does not respond when his name is called, so his new family will need to learn to communicate with him using hand signals, touch, and visual cues. He also has a bit of a free spirit when it comes to coming when called, since he doesn’t really come over just because you call him unless he has decided that he wants to! For that reason, he should always be safely on leash or in a securely fenced area. This is especially important around doors and whenever getting in or out of the car.

Brody can be a little hard to motivate, which is part of what makes him so funny. He doesn’t seem particularly interested in walking on grass. You can encourage him all you want, but sometimes Brody’s response is simply to sit down, look at you, and politely decline your suggestion. He enjoys short daily walks, but he is not a high-energy hiking buddy. He is much more of a homebody who enjoys taking things at his own pace.

And then there is Brody’s couch routine. He is a big boy and watching him launch himself onto the couch is surprisingly entertaining. He may be a gentle giant, but he is still a Cavalier who knows exactly where he wants to be, and that is usually right up on the couch with his people! His foster family has never heard him bark while awake (although he does occasionally bark in his dreams), but you will hear him in another way. This sweet boy snores, and not just a dainty little Cavalier snuffle, Brody can SNORE! It is one of his more endearing quirks.

He does best when he has someone around and would thrive in a home where he can spend lots of time with his people. Although he is well behaved when left alone, he should not be left by himself for long periods of time. He doesn’t need a busy or particularly active household; he simply wants to be near his people, have a cozy place to nap, enjoy a little walk, and get plenty of lap time.

Brody weighs 28 pounds, has been neutered and is now up to date on his vaccinations. He has a sensitive tummy, so his family will need to be mindful about what he eats and provide him with food that agrees with him.

Brody is a gentle, quiet, low-key boy who is incredibly easy to have around. He is affectionate without being demanding, friendly with everyone he meets, and always ready for a good cuddle. If you are looking for a devoted companion who would be perfectly happy spending his days by your side, and occasionally taking over your couch, Brody just might be your perfect match.

If you’re ready to give this boy a loving home, fill out an application and email the Idaho rescue coordinator, Cindy, at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. You can read about the adoption process: Process

Lexi and Lincoln in Plymouth, MI

Sweet and Sweeter!

Meet Lexi and Lincoln, a delightful pair of 8-year-old Cavaliers who came into rescue when the toddler in their young human family developed a pet allergy. Lincoln is a 24 lb, happy-go-lucky Blenheim male. Lexi is three months younger and a sweet, loyal 18 lb. tri-colored female. Lincoln instantly loves every human he meets, while Lexi is a little more reserved when meeting new people. But her shyness doesn’t last long. In short order, she is trying to snuggle into your lap while Lincoln is covering you in kisses!

Both dogs are thriving in their foster home where there is a regular routine and three full-time Cavaliers. Lincoln has lots of wrestling matches with his 6-year-old foster brother. He also enjoys playing with toys and fetching balls. Lexi follows her foster mom everywhere she goes and has a tendency to get under foot. She also seeks quiet time in a corner when her people are working at their desk. This pair especially enjoys hanging out on the patio — taking in the summer breeze. They get very excited when they see their leashes, signaling it’s time for a walk!

They sleep in a crate next to the people bed and are gated in the kitchen when their foster mom runs errands. Lincoln has marked a few times in his foster home, which is common in dogs adjusting to a new environment. With their previous family, they moved several times and had accidents in the new home for the first few weeks. In the foster home, Lincoln wears a belly band so his foster mom can monitor his house manners. Aside from a few marking incidents, he is doing very well and Lexi has not had any accidents.

Both demonstrate some anxiety when there is a change in the routine. Lexi shows signs of anxiety of when her foster mom leaves the house. For this reason, we would like to adopt the pair to the same family—a family with someone home during the day. They are not siblings, so they get along very well — no littermate syndrome behavior.

Lincoln just got his teeth cleaned and had several extractions. He is at a good weight for his larger frame, but his fur-ever family will need to monitor his food intake and limit treats so he can remain at this target weight. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations.

Lexi just got her teeth cleaned. She is also at a good weight for her petite frame. Her fur-ever family should limit treats so she can remain at this target weight. She is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She has a herniated umbilical which can be felt on her belly. This doesn’t bother her, so the vet is recommending no treatment at this time. No heart issues were detected in either dog.

This pair would do best in a home where there is a routine and someone home during the day. If you are looking for dual, loving cavvies, this pair is for you! They have been a delightful pair while in foster care.

Please complete our online application (if you haven’t already) and then send an email to June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let her know that you are interested in Lincoln and Lexi. We will only consider applicants that are home during the day and live within a reasonable driving distance to the foster home.

Milo in Dallas, TX

Here is Milo with his new family…

Meet sweet Lover Boy Milo — a 6-year-old boy born 11/19/19. Blenheim bundle of joy with a heart as big as his pathos-filled brown eyes. Milo truly believes that faces were made for kisses, walks were made for enjoying, and naps are best when shared. He also does well in the car. If you’re in need of a hug, a kiss, or simply a loyal companion by your side, Milo is always happy to oblige.

Milo is a healthy, neutered male who is up to date on his core vaccinations and microchipped, ensuring both his safety and your peace of mind. If Milo sees a door open to the outside he will dash out very quickly. His future home will need to have a baby gate type system by the front door for safety. We need an adopter who is very careful and diligent around doors. For this reason young children are not recommended.

He does well with other dogs but Milo does have a high prey drive with the squirrels and bunnies in the back yard and field next to his foster home. He has done very well with the snippy resident blind tiny elderly dachshund foster sister he has been living with. He has not been observed with cats.

Milo is fully potty trained. He does not seem big on toys but is extremely food motivated. Due to his larger stature, he is a counter surfer. He loves belly rubs and enjoys playing a little catch where he gets chased by his sweaty foster mom in the Dallas summer heat.

Milo would flourish either in an active family setting or as the cherished king of his own castle. If you’re searching for a devoted, affectionate companion who will shower you with love, Milo may be the perfect match for you.

If you believe you would be the perfect match for Milo, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelbynfields@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. We are kindly asking for emails only and no calls.
