Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Lulu in Nashville, TN

Here is Lulu with her new family…

Meet Lulu: Your New Snuggle Buddy!

Looking for a furry friend who will shower you with unconditional love, tail wags, and endless cuddles? Look no further than Lulu, the sweetest Blenheim girl! Born on 01/02/2018, Lulu is a 7-year-old pup with a heart as big as her soulful brown eyes. Her prior owner thought Lulu was a Cavalier mix, but she doesn’t look like one to us. Either way, she’s lovely and sweet.

Due to her previous owner’s health issues, Lulu is now looking for a new forever home. She’s the perfect blend of gentle, affectionate, and playful, making her the ideal companion for someone looking for a loyal and loving dog. Lulu adores belly rubs, curling up on the couch, and following her humans around the house like a little shadow. Whether you’re out for a walk or enjoying a lazy Sunday morning, Lulu will always be by your side.

Lulu gets along beautifully with other dogs and loves people of all ages. She thrives in a calm, loving home where she can be treated like the princess she truly is. She’s house-trained, well-mannered, and always ready for a nap or a treat.

A Few Things You Should Know About Lulu:

Active & Playful: Lulu loves walks and gets super excited when she sees her leash and harness. A fully fenced-in yard is ideal for her so she can explore and enjoy her outdoor time.
Loyal Companion: She’s happiest when she’s with you! Lulu enjoys car rides and will happily join you for errands or just a ride around town.
Separation Sensitivity: While Lulu does get a little sad when her person leaves for errands, she settles down after a bit and does fine for short periods of time, like during a dinner out.
Health: Lulu has had a teeth cleaning and a few extractions while in foster care and has received a clean bill of health. She’s up to date on vaccines, heartworm, flea/tick preventatives, has been spayed and is microchipped.

Lulu would be thrilled to join a home with someone who works from home or is around during the day. A quiet, loving environment with a fully fenced-in yard would be ideal.

Cooper in Little Rock, AR

Introducing Cooper, a seven-year-old sweet, calm and easygoing guy looking for a forever family to love. Cooper was born on May 18, 2018.

Cooper is the perfect Southern Gentleman. He has good manners, is super quiet and calm, and gets along with everyone. His previous owner had to surrender Cooper and his companion, and contacted us to find them the best new homes.

Cooper is a beautiful Blenheim weighing 24.5 pounds. He is quite tall for a Cavalier. He uses steps to get up on his favorite chair where he can snuggle with his foster Mom. Being a true Cavalier, Cooper just wants to follow his foster Mom everywhere. Cooper lies under her desk while she is working, and sleeps in a comfy chair in her bedroom at night.

Cooper is the easiest dog to have around and never complains, even though he has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and has a luxating patella. In spite of his joint issues, Cooper gets around just fine, but does exhibit some discomfort occasionally. He has started taking joint supplements, which his forever family will need to continue for the rest of his life.

Cooper is good on a leash for short walks, but mostly follows his foster siblings out the doggie door to potty in the fenced-in yard. Cooper would benefit from losing a few pounds, as this would mean less stress on his hips and knee. His forever family should feed him low-calorie treats and take him for daily short walks to maintain his mobility and keep his weight in check. Cooper is up-to-date on all his vaccines, is neutered, has a microchip and is on heartworm and flea prevention.

If you really want to make Cooper happy, give him a few “booty scratches” and you’ll be his best buddy! He will come up and nudge you for attention, and move his back end closer so you can get just the right spot. Another endearing trait is his very loud “man-like” snoring.

His foster Mom thinks it’s the cutest (and funniest) thing.

While Cooper gets along with her Cavaliers, he doesn’t really bond with them. Cooper would be fine as the only dog in his forever home.

If you want the perfect companion to love, then Cooper is the pup for you! This refined Southern Gentleman will give as much (or more) in return. He only requires that you be home with him most of the day, help with his weight loss and care for him to live a pain-free, happy life.

If you think you are the right family for Cooper, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already. Then email Whitney Barron, wbarronp@gmail.com, to alert her of your interest in Cooper.

Lady & Angel in Skaneateles, NY

Here are the pups with their new family…

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.

Teddy in Boston, MA

Teddy is an enthusiastic four-year-old male Blenheim with lots of love and affection to give to a new home. Teddy was given to rescue due to a lifestyle change for his previous owners, and he has warmed up to his foster family very quickly.

He will take a little time to come out of his shell, but will surely become fast friends with his new family. Teddy enjoys daily walks, play times, long naps, and plenty of time with his person.

Toys are one of Teddy’s favorite things. He is always ready to play with stuffed animals, balls and tug ropes. He has also enjoyed playing with his foster family’s Cavalier. While Teddy is okay with a small dog, another dog is not necessary in his new home.

Teddy has enjoyed a nightly play routine. His new family should enjoy engaging him with plenty of toys. Teddy also really loves the beach and swimming in the ocean, and will happily dive in to retrieve his ball.

Teddy would do best in a calm home without children. Teddy can be reactive to larger dogs and new people coming into the home, and struggles to calm himself in these scenarios. Teddy’s ideal home will not include regular comings and goings of new people. He is currently working on these reactions, but his future family must be willing to work with a trainer to help Teddy cope with new dogs and people. Teddy needs a patient owner who will be committed to helping him feel less anxious with his triggers.

Teddy has proven to be extremely well potty-trained, and has never had an accident. He is able to go on his own in the yard or on a leash. A fenced yard, while a bonus, is not required.

Teddy is working on crate training, and can now successfully sleep through the night in his covered crate. Teddy can be left in a secure location in the home while his foster family is out. When left or crated he will bark, but has learned to eventually settle.

Teddy is in good health. He is heart clear, and up-to-date on immunizations and preventatives. One knee has a grade 2/4 luxating patella, but no action is needed at this time.

Teddy enjoys his twice daily walks and ample toy time, which have both been helpful in his weight loss journey. The vet has recommended Teddy lose another ten pounds. His future family must be committed to his weight loss by keeping him active and on an established diet. (Teddy eats two meals a day at specified times.)

If you are interested in adopting Teddy, please complete our online application. Then express your interest in Teddy by emailing Barbara Blanchette at blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com. Please be sure that you meet Teddy’s requirements as outlined in his profile.

Bandy in Republic, MO

Here is Bandy with his new mom…

Meet Bandy: An adorable 1.5 year old Blenheim Cavalier looking for his forever home.

Bandy was born on November 2, 2023 and was given to rescue by a Good Samaritan. Bandy is a calm and snuggly pup that enjoys going for daily walks, carrying around his toys and playing with his foster dog siblings. He loves exploring outside, so he would do best in a home with a fenced-in backyard. He currently uses a dog door and is working on becoming potty trained.

Bandy enjoys going for car rides and has great manners when going to new places. He is a little timid when you first meet him, but warms up quickly. He is in excellent health and has been neutered, microchipped and is current on all vaccinations as well as his heart worm and flea/tick preventatives. Bandy loves meal time, but does have a sensitive tummy, so feeding him a dry food for sensitive stomachs is ideal.

Bandy isn’t a fan of thunderstorms, so you may find him hiding behind a pillow during storms. He also doesn’t like being left alone, so you may hear his adorable howl if you step outside without him.

Bandy has a beautiful coat and is quite a handsome guy. He needs a gentle and loving forever home!

If you are interested in Bandy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, then email Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Thank you!

CJ in Kenmore, WA

CJ is an 11-year-old female Blenheim Cavalier. She’s a sweet, gentle soul and looking for a special person/family to show her kindness and unconditional love. Sadly, before coming into rescue, she hadn’t had either for a long time and was very mistreated.

CJ spends most of her time resting in her kennel, but she really perks up when out exploring in the yard. This sweet girl likes gentle head and neck scratches, but she doesn’t seek out attention. She likes short walks around the neighborhood but needs you to carry her outside to get started. A lot of things are scary for CJ, and so she’s happiest at home where it’s quiet and she feels safe.

CJ has been gaining weight and is feeling better since getting much-needed dental work done. She’s been diagnosed with a grade 5 heart murmur by the cardiologist and started on a twice daily heart medication (pimobendan). She was recently started on the medication ursodiol after an incidental finding of biliary mineralization on thoracic radiographs. She’s a small Cavalier and weighs about 14 lbs. Her beautiful Cavalier coat is growing back in and she’s looking much healthier. She’s house trained with regular breaks and will let you know she needs to go out by pacing around.

CJ will do best in an adult home since kids can be a scary for her. She needs a fenced yard so she doesn’t have to go potty on leash, and so she can enjoy her safe outdoor space. She’s looking for a special home with a lot of patience and people who understand dogs that are anxious and slow to trust. She’s okay with gentle-natured dogs of similar size.

If you’d like to welcome CJ to your family, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously) and email rescue coordinator Melissa Cincotta at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.
