Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Theo in Lake Forest, CA

Here is Theo with his new family…

Meet Theo, your future best friend! This sweet and playful 4-month-old Blenheim puppy is ready to start life with a loving forever family. Theo came to Cavalier Rescue USA when an unexpected illness led his family to make the difficult decision to rehome him, knowing it was in his best interest.

Like all puppies, Theo is curious, affectionate, and learning about the world one day at a time. He is currently working on house-training, basic manners, confidence-building, and will thrive in a home committed to continued positive reinforcement and consistency.

Theo is up to date on his vaccines, microchipped, and will be adopted with a neuter contract. Theo has charmed everyone he has met during his time in rescue and has been nicknamed the Thief of Hearts! His foster home is a busy household with several other canine companions, a few cats and two social teenagers that come and go throughout the day.

Theo enjoys spending time exploring the secure yard and will do best in a new home with limited alone hours. Theo’s best buddy is a gentle giant Golden Retriever who is showing him the ropes with patience and plenty of tail wagging guidance.

Puppies require a meaningful commitment, and the points below outline key areas of care to help set both Theo and his new family up for success.

• Training and patience are key. Puppies thrive with consistent, positive training and gentle guidance. When a puppy feels safe, secure, and loved, desired behaviors are easier to teach and become more reliable over time.

• Puppy energy comes in waves. Energy levels will naturally vary throughout the day. Regular playtime, age-appropriate exercise, mental enrichment, and positive socialization are essential to healthy physical and emotional development.

• Patience as your puppy matures makes all the difference. Allowing your puppy the time and support to grow will help them blossom into a confident family companion. Enrolling in a positive-reinforcement obedience class is highly encouraged, as it strengthens the bond between dog and owner while providing valuable structure.

Whimsey in Dallas, TX

Add some Whimsey to your life! Whimsey is a 10-year-old, female, Blenheim, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 04/13/2015.

Whimsey is a very sweet girl that loves cuddles! She is an absolute doll and is friendly with everyone she meets. She is happiest by your side on the couch, receiving scratches and belly rubs until she falls asleep. If you stop petting her, she will take her paw and ask for more! She will be your little shadow, following you everywhere you go. If she can’t see you, she will walk around the house looking for you. Whimsey found herself in rescue after her previous family dynamics changed and they were no longer able to care for her.

Whimsey is very low energy and spends most of her time lounging on the couch and in bed. She knows how to use stairs to and loves sleeping on a bed. She has been trusted to roam the house freely for short periods of time while her foster parents were away. At the beginning of her foster journey, she did have a few accidents in the house, which may have been due to the change in her life or the change of diet. She does not alert when she needs to go potty and will occasionally need encouragement to go out, especially in the cold. Her foster mom will stand outside with her and wait for her to be done with her business. For this reason, we recommend an adopter that will be home most of the day to take her out frequently.

She occasionally shows signs of resource guarding to other dogs when it comes to human affection (sharing a human lap) and food. She is fed in a separate area to prevent this behavior. This was a lot more frequent when she first got to her foster home but she has been greatly improving. She will need an adopter who will be willing to work with her on this issue.

Besides the now rare display of resource guarding, she gets along well with the other dogs and cats in her foster home. She lays on the couch with her foster dog siblings and also sleeps in the same bed with them. Whimsey will sometimes get a case of the zoomies and run around the backyard chasing them! Even though she gets along well with the other pets in her foster home, she is definitely more people oriented and will prefer the company of her humans!

At 10 years old she is in great health! No heart murmur! During her time in foster care she was spayed and had a teeth cleaning with 11 extractions. She was also brought up to date with her vaccines and is on heart worm prevention. The only concern that was observed during her spay was an enlarged right kidney. She had an ultrasound and they said it would not likely become an issue unless she had recurring urinary tract infections (which has not been an issue with her). They recommended a urinalysis twice a year and no further treatment is recommended.

If you believe this sweet, loving, and loyal companion is the right fit for your family please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Please ensure you have an application on file and please read our FAQ page for answers to common questions.

Holly in Gettysburg, PA

Update 2-5-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Meet Holly, a beautiful Blenheim girl with a soft silky coat. After being released from a commercial breeder, Holly got her name when she came into rescue just before Christmas, and her foster family thought the name was perfect for her.

She was a bit shy at first, but now everyone that she sees is greeted like a long lost friend. When she sees her foster Mom in the morning, she happily wags her tail and has to have a few minutes of pets before she goes out.

She came into foster care completely house trained, but goes out on a regular basis and will hold it until its time. She is also learning to “sit” when asked to! She rarely barks, but occasionally will bark if her breakfast and dinner isn’t ready when she is hungry!

Holly loves to go for walks and is very good on a leash. She rides well in the car, but does get carsick. She sleeps well in her crate, but would have no problem sleeping with her family at night. She always has her foster sisters in sight, so another dog would be a plus so she has companionship. Holly was very nervous about snuggling on the couch with her family and would jump off and retreat to her crate, but now she will jump up and snuggle with her family.

She has recently been spayed and is up to date on her vaccinations. She has a grade 2/3 heart murmur but no medications are needed at this time.

If you think your family would be a good fit, and you live with a reasonable driving distance of Gettysburg, PA please complete our online application if you haven’ t already and then email Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com ) and let her know that you are interested and would like to be considered to be her new family.

Charlie in Austin, TX

Here is Charlie with his new family…

Hi, I’m Charlie! I had been living my best life for 7 years until my owner’s health declined and she was moved to Memory Care.

Even with all this stress, I am a smart, sweet and happy boy. I know basic commands and I’m house trained. I love going for walks and am SO good on the leash. When on walks, I don’t react to bicycles, garbage trucks, or squirrels. I’m more interested in smelling all the good smells. I’m pretty chill if another dog barks or comes at me. I currently have four foster siblings and we all get along fine. Nonetheless, I am really all about my person. I spent a few days around two cats and was non reactive. I’m calm around small children.

My owner was retired and home all day. I need a place where my people are primarily home, allowing me to snuggle close on the couch. I love being allowed to sleep on the bed. I get attached very quickly but I do have some anxiety. I can be destructive when left alone uncrated. I am working on the idea of being crate trained. I’m learning that it’s a safe place for when I am alone.

I am up to date on all of my inoculations. I was neutered 1/7/26. They did discover I have a grade 4 heart murmur. No medications were recommended at this time, but I will eventually need them. My heart needs to be checked semi-annually.

If you are interested in giving Charlie his forever home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Janice Cartwright at janicecartwright33@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Izzy in Dallas, TX

Here is Izzy with her new family…

Izzy is a 4-year-old (birthday 8/01/2021) 19 pound Blenheim, who would love nothing more than to snuggle in your arms and stare deeply into your soul. She is the very definition of precious with her doll-like face and gentle, loving demeanor. She is incredibly sweet and bonds deeply with her humans… though she is a bit apprehensive of strangers. Izzy came to us when her previous family dynamics changed, and they were no longer able to care for her.

She is absolutely beautiful and loves to be the belle of the ball. She is very well behaved in social settings, choosing to be perfectly content on your lap, rather than explore her surroundings. She is very loyal to her humans. She is curious, but not curious enough that anything is more important than you.

Izzy is a nice mix of playful and snuggly. While she may appear to choose snuggles over playtime, she is delighted to be given the opportunity to chase a squirrel, bird, or her younger foster brother down the hall. When she runs, her little back legs fly up like she is taking flight and her whole body seems to coast through the air— making it impossible not to smile.

Because she bonds so deeply with her people, she sometimes has a hard time sharing attention with other doggies. When she first arrived in her foster home, she showed some resource guarding of her foster mom’s lap towards her foster siblings. But after time, she has learned to share the spotlight, as long as she feels like the number one princess… everyone can and does snuggle!

Izzy has a natural instinct to chase moving critters, so a fenced in yard would be ideal. In her prior home she was accustomed to using a doggy door and pottying while free in a yard. She had a couple of accidents at the beginning of foster care while she was getting used to a new routine of pottying on walks. After learning from her foster sibling she no longer has accidents. Izzy would prefer a home where she’s allowed to curl up in bed next to you at night! She is a deep sleeper and loves to be adored and cuddled.

Since arriving into foster care, Izzy has been spayed and had a dental. She was brought up to date on her vaccines, is on heart worm prevention, and is microchipped. She has a clean bill of health! If you’re ready for a sweet and tender companion, who will absolutely love you to the moon and back, Izzy may be your perfect girl.

If you think Izzy would be a great fit for your family, please contact Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Please ensure you have an application on file and please read the FAQ for common questions.

Nick in Oxnard, CA

Meet Nick! True Love comes with a wagging tail. Nick is a gentle and sweet boy who came to rescue from a commercial breeder release. He is thriving in a home environment. Nick is ready to find a fur-ever family to call his own that will continue his socialization and good dog behavior with positive reinforcement.

Nick is a healthy youngster. We don’t know his birthdate, but vet says he is between 2-3 years old. He is neutered, up-to-date on core vaccinations, current with flea preventative and microchipped. No murmur was detected on auscultation at his exam and his knees and hips are good. He received treatment for a mild ear infection and medication for parasites while in foster care.

Nick is doing very well with his house training. He goes to the door to let you know that he would like to go out. He is crate trained and will sometimes go in for a nap but usually sleeps quietly through the night with his foster sister in one of the dog beds. Nick draws a lot of confidence and security from his canine foster sisters. He enjoys going for several walks every day, exploring the neighborhood and socializing with other small dogs. He is shy and will back away when someone approaches wanting to pet him but is making improvements as he becomes more comfortable with people.

Nick is sensitive to loud sounds. They trigger his anxiety and fearfulness. He has a high prey drive. A home without small children would be best. Their energy would be overwhelming for him as he adjusts one last time. He can be shy and skittish with loud noises, raised voices and sudden movements. A home that offers a balance of structure, engagement and cuddle time will help Nick feel safe and confident.

Nick’s ideal home will have one or more playful friendly canine companions. A home with other dogs will be a major plus for his confidence. He responds with affection to a soft happy tone of voice and praise. He is very good and quiet in the house and loves mealtimes!

Nick is ready to find his ideal human; someone who will be kind and patient with him. This will help build his confidence so he can blossom into the wonderful companion he was born to be. Families within a comfortable driving distance of Oxnard are preferred to facilitate introductory visits. If you have a heart for sensitive souls and a quiet home with a dog friend for Nick, please submit an application if you haven’t done so already. Then email Donna at d_beirne@yahoo.com to let her know of your interest in Nick.
