Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

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.

Emmi in Newburgh, NY

Meet the sweetest little Blenheim Cavalier you ever will see. Emmi’s journey toward rescue began when she was released from a breeder. She had a short stay with an elderly man who quickly found he could not care for a dog. Just prior to being released to rescue, Emmi lived in a loving home with a working couple. Unfortunately, they worked long hours which they learned would not be the best situation for this little lovebug. This beautiful Cavalier loves to be near her people in true Cavalier fashion.

Emmi has proven to be good with gentle children and especially likes her foster moms 7-yr-old granddaughter. She likes to approach people of all ages and will cuddle up on the couch when given the opportunity. Dog toys are a hit so go ahead and start looking for some cute stuffies and soft bones :). She does get timid and backs up when people move toward her to pick her up. Head outside with her and watch how fast her little tail can wag!

Emmi is fully house trained. The foster family lets her outside in the fenced in yard with their other dogs and say she has not had one accident in the house. The foster mom says she “goes with the flow” and has been great with the other resident dogs and family dogs who come to visit. This cutie pie is crate trained and sleeps quietly overnight in her crate.

Emmi is up to date on her vaccines and she is loved by the veterinary staff. She weighs 14.8 lbs. She had a dental while in foster care, and recovered well following some extractions. An echocardiogram was done by a cardiologist, resulting in the diagnosis of stage 3 Mitral Valve Disease. The doctor does not recommend any medication at this time but stated a reevaluation is advised Fall 2026. Emmi appears to have significant hearing loss but she moves through the day with a happy way about her regardless of this.

Emmi is ready for her permanent home and will be looking forward to meeting you! If you are ready to welcome Emmi in to your life, 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.

Belle in Indianapolis, IN

microchipped.

She is calm for the most part and doesn’t require much exercise. She does love to play fetch with her foster brother Finley.

She will do well with other small dogs, but it is not known whether she gets along with cats.

Teddy in Converse, TX

Teddy is a sweet 3-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born on 09/23/2022, with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. He enjoys being close to his people and is happiest when he can relax nearby, soaking up companionship and affection.

Teddy is looking for a patient, understanding home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace. While he is a calm and loving boy, he can be sensitive to sudden movements and may flinch if someone moves too quickly around him. Because of this, he will thrive with people who are gentle, predictable, and willing to help him continue building confidence and trust.

Based on his needs, Teddy is seeking a home with a calm male presence, as he appears to be most comfortable and secure with men. He cannot be placed in a home with cats and would do best with well-mannered, non-resource-guarding dogs who are comfortable sharing space, attention, toys, and routines.

A securely fenced yard is required, and Teddy would love a home where someone is around most of the time. He forms strong bonds with his people and feels most secure when he has plenty of companionship and limited alone time.

Teddy was recently neutered and is relatively well house-trained, he needs to keep a good schedule to prevent accidents. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he continues to make great progress.

Teddy’s ideal family will see the wonderful dog he is beneath his cautious exterior — a loyal, affectionate companion who simply wants to feel safe and loved. Given time and understanding, Teddy will reward his family with endless devotion and companionship.

If you feel like Teddy belongs in your family, please submit an application if you haven’t already and then email Maegan Ramos at sacavalierrescueusa@gmail.com to express your interest. Applicants must be within 3-4 driving hours of Converse, TX to be considered.

Bella in Galena, IL

Meet Bluebell (aka Bella), a calm, sweet 23 lb Blenheim female who wants nothing more than to settle in with her loving, forever family. If you want a cuddler and gentle companion, she’s the perfect choice.

This 5 years old bundle of love enjoys going on walks. She is still learning leash etiquette, and sometimes needs encouragement but she is very willing. A fenced yard is not a requirement, but would be best especially if you don’t want to walk her on leash regularly.

Bella is house trained for the most part. If she sticks to a regular schedule, she will be fine.

Bella’s overall health is excellent.

Bella has been introduced to several other dogs and is generally the more passive one. She is not afraid of the other dogs, however, and likes to be part of the group. She is learning about cats in her foster home and is acclimating nicely. She has met many adults and children and has been very friendly but not overly excited. She will gladly join foster mom on the couch, but she is also happy either laying nearby or resting in her crate.

Bella has great recall, and comes when called, even outside. She is good with car travel, but needs to be lifted into the car.

If she is the only dog or pet then she would do best with someone who’s home all day. If there are other pets for companionship in the home, she should be ok if they are left alone occasionally. She is good with kids, but is not a very active dog. First and foremost, she really does love her people.

Bella is crate trained and uses two at her foster home: one by foster mom’s bed and one in the family room. The crate doors are left open. She tends to enjoy resting in the crate and uses it as a place to collect her toys. She likes to snuggle inside the crate. She would need stairs to get up on most beds but would probably be more than willing to do that. She really wants to please and feel safe. Her place of preference is at your side.

If you are looking for a sweet, calm, loving companion, Bella may a good fit for you. If you are interested in adopting Bella, please complete our online form if you have not already done so, and then send an email to Meg: cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com to indicate your interest.

Coco in Deering, NH

Are you cuckoo for Coco? Well, probably not. At least, not yet. But that’s only because you haven’t met her! Coco is the sweetest, gentlest companion a human could hope for. She has an easy confidence, a calm joyful energy, and such an adoring gaze that you’ll think “Why don’t more creatures look at me this way?” She is always happy to see you and will follow you from room to room, not asking for anything but to be near you.

Coco is a 10-year-old, spayed, female, Blenheim Cavalier born June 3, 2016. She came into foster care after a change in her family’s situation left little time for the pup. She is house trained, asking to go out and taking care of her business without supervision. She does not need much exercise and is content to casually amble around the fenced yard. She does enjoy going for the occasional walk – though she will certainly let you know when the walk is over by turning around to go home!

Coco gets along well with other gentle dogs and cats and would be happy as an only dog or in the company of a mellow pet. Other things that Coco likes in life: not being left alone, eating, playing with her toys, being in a calm atmosphere, gentle people (including strangers and children), treats, perching on pillows, sleeping, jumping up onto furniture, going to the groomer. Even riding in the car is nice; almost anything can be perfect if shared with her people. She will occasionally ask to be picked up (by sitting in front of you and gazing up hopefully) or sit on your lap for scratches and gentle companionship.

Coco is in very good health for her age and breed. At 16 lbs, she is currently at an appropriate weight, though has a tendency to gain weight if given as many treats as she asks for! She has no sign of heart murmur or any other congenital conditions. Coco’s eyes and ears are appropriately clear for her age with no apparent issues. She had extensive dental work while in foster care, including a thorough cleaning and 8 extractions. One knee has a grade 2 luxating patella, meaning it can slide out of place but will fix itself, and doesn’t need any particular care other than keeping her at a healthy weight. Although she can go up and down stairs, she would be safer and more comfortable in a home with few or no steps. She takes a joint supplement for her knees, as well as a fiber supplement to help maintain anal gland health. Regular gland expression (every 6 weeks) by a vet or groomer is needed to avoid problems. Coco is microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations and preventatives. She is a spry, healthy, and confident girl!

Coco has much to give: affection, joy, calm energy, and constant companionship. She is easy to care for and even easier to love. If reading this has made you cuckoo for Coco puff, then you just may be the lucky person she chooses!

If you are interested in adopting Coco and live within a reasonable drive of her foster home in Deering, NH, please submit an online application and then contact Barbara Blanchette (blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com) so she knows of your interest.
