Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

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.)

Bandy in Republic, MO

Update 5/31/25: We think we have found a great home for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now.

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’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.

CJ is currently being fostered with another female Cavalier from the same home. While the girls are not particularly bonded (don’t snuggle, follow each other around, etc.), they could be placed together should a family like to adopt them both. Please see Brook’s posting to learn more about her: Brook in Kenmore, WA

If you’d like to welcome CJ (or both CJ and Brook) 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.

Brook in Kenmore, WA

Brook is a 12-year-old female Blenheim Cavalier. She’s a super sweet girl that is easy to care for and love. Unfortunately, she suffered a lot of neglect and mistreatment in her previous home, and she was also a breeder dog most of her life. She came to us a little shy but has opened up quite a bit. Her true Cavalier temperament has been coming out now that she’s feeling better and loved in her foster home. She really enjoys belly rubs and gentle head scratches and has even started joining her foster mom on the couch.

Brook is mostly house trained, but she should be kenneled if you are gone too long or taken out right before leaving. She doesn’t need much space but prefers to potty on her own in a fenced yard. She likes short walks, if you help her get started, and being outside exploring her yard.

While in her foster home, Brook had a much-needed dental for severe periodontal disease and was spayed. She’s looking much better after putting on a few pounds and her hair is starting to grow back too. She’s a little Cavalier, weighing 14 lbs, and that seems to be a good weight for her. She has a grade 2 heart murmur but does not need medication at this time. She also has dry eye for which she takes prescription eye drops called cyclosporin.

Brook would love a quiet home where she can rest and relax in the sun with someone who will help her feel safe and loved for the rest of her days. No young children, though older, respectful, dog-savvy kids would be okay. Brook would be fine as an only dog or with another dog of similar size and temperament. Her ideal new home is a calm household with a family that’s easy-going, compassionate, and loving.

Brook is currently being fostered with another female Cavalier from the same home. While the girls are not particularly bonded (don’t snuggle, follow each other around, etc.), they could be placed together should a family like to adopt them both. Please see CJ’s posting to learn more about her: CJ in Kenmore, WA

Hopalong in Longmont, CO

Hopalong with his forever family!!

Howdy Partner! My name is Hopalong but my friends – and everyone is my friend – call me Hoppy. My foster mom calls me Happy Hoppy because the gosh darn truth is that I am the sweetest, happiest little doggone doggy you ever hope to meet! YEEHAW!!! Coming from a home where my person could no longer care for me, I was extra excited to discover that there was a great foster home waiting just for me while I wait to find my forever home. I’m happy to share with you some of the highlights of what it’s like to be me!

I am a very handsome, yet modest, Blenheim colored gentleman doggy. I give polite kisses and I look forward to celebrating my seventh birthday in August at my new forever home. The one thing that makes me absolutely unique is that I have 3.2 legs – hence the name Hopalong! My tiny front leg has been with me since birth. Since I have never known what it would have been like to have 4 legs, I simply get on with life – and life is great! I can hop run, hop jump and keep up with the best! I am able to hop jump up on the couch to keep you company. I can hop jump up on the bed to take a nap. Most of the time I can hop jump down by myself but occasionally a little help is as nice as a cold peach on a hot August day! You can see how I get around at https://youtu.be/2Kr8L53eLoY

My favorite activity is to go for short walks. I love being out and about meeting new people and making new friends. YEE HAW!!! I think belly scratches are wonderful! I enjoy a good afternoon nap. I love cuddling, cuddling and cuddling – exactly in that order! Riding in the car is so easy – I settle down and am so quiet that my foster mom sometimes wonders if she has forgotten to put me in the car! I am happiest when I am near my person. I will curl up in a bed next to your computer while you work. I will cuddle next to you on the couch while watching a movie. I will snuggle, cuddle with you when we take an afternoon nap.

Because I am, well, such a happy guy, I immediately joined in the fun of getting to know my new foster family. My foster family introduced me right away to interesting yet unpredictable creatures – my foster mom calls them cats. I LIKE them! Occasionally, they will actually notice me and when they do, that for darn sure does get my tail to a wagg ‘in! My other two foster siblings look amazingly just like me. Together we make quite the pack of friendly, happy Cavaliers. Togetherness with siblings is fun, but I could also be just as fine as pudd’in being your only dog – more attention for me, right!?

I love to eat so much that I weighed 31 pounds coming in to foster care. I have been put on a diet to start getting down to a healthier weight. I have lost 1.5 pounds and actually do feel better! After breakfast we go for a walk. I get very excited when my harness is being put on because I know we are headed out to have an adventure. YEE HAW!!! Once outside I calm down and have pretty darn good leash manners. Most of the day is spent hanging out with my foster family. I enjoy chasing squirrels with my foster siblings or just chilling out. I do love a good nap – sometimes that nap includes some good old Cavalier snoring! Then it’s SUPPER TIME! After supper we go for another walk which is hippity hop fun! Bed time is snuggle and cuddle time. I won’t leave your side all night – you will be my world!

While living the good life in my foster home, I had a complete wellness checkup. I am now current on all of my vaccinations, tested negative for heartworms, was microchipped and had a dental cleaning that included having eight teeth extracted. The best news though is that the vet heard no heart murmur! YEE HAW!!! I am a very heathy, happy guy!

I am looking for a forever home that will have my person home most of the time. I get along great with friendly, small dogs, cats, older kids and neighbors. I will come and tell you when I need to go out to go potty but prefer if you remember to let me several times during the day. I sleep all through the night without needing to go out. I have some hearing loss. I can hear a bit, but mostly use visual cues to know what you would like me to do. I am a very easy dog to have around. I will quickly become comfortable in my forever new home.

If you think that I could be a fit as your new family member, please fill out an online application if you have not already done so. Send an email with a note of your interest to Carolyn at: CarolynCKCS@Comcast.net Applicants should be within a few hours driving distance for a meet and greet in Longmont Colorado.

Mallory in New Hope, PA

If you’re the type of person who likes to plan ahead, petite, six-year-old Blenheim girl Mallory is exactly the Cavalier you need to save on your heating bill next fall and winter. She is a total snugglebug who wants to be with you all the time, whether relaxing on your lap or next to you. In every season, you won’t be able to resist her big, bright Cavalier eyes. Mal is quite shy and will build trust with a regular routine of tiny treats and a calm household. She is generally a mellow dog, and when she isn’t napping, she explores the fenced yard with her foster cat and dog siblings.

On leash in her harness she walks well, though she does take time to stop and smell the flowers, and lots of other things, too. She is friendly with other dogs, although she will bark at them if she sees them from inside her foster parents’ house. Occasionally she gets a little zoomy and plays with a toy or a tennis ball or chases a moth in the yard. Presently she sleeps at night in a crate in her foster parents’ bedroom, but her foster mom and dad are sure she would enjoy sleeping in the big bed.

Mallory was released by a Lancaster County breeder into rescue. In foster care she was vetted and is heart clear. She has been spayed and had a dental during which she had 16 teeth removed. You might notice the cutest little underbite or Elvis-ish snarl. She may have some hearing impairment but at a certain volume, she does hear her name. Like a lot of Cavaliers, she has a good appetite and will gobble her kibble and wet food – in fact, breakfast and dinner are her two favorite times of day, so her foster parents are careful not to overfeed as she is at just the right weight at 12 pounds. Mallory had a seizure like episode in the car shortly after she was picked up from the farm. She immediately saw the vet and was noticed to be stressed and had high blood pressure but her blood work was normal. She was put on blood pressure medication and was weaned off of it in reacue and no other seizure like behaviors were seen. The veterinarian thought it was isolated stress related incident.

She is still fine-tuning her potty training but has made steady progress. Rainy days aren’t her favorite, so some extra effort is needed to help her focus on pottying on those days. You have to watch to make sure she does her business. Car rides, baths and brushing are a-ok with cute-as-a button Mallory. As long as her human is nearby, she’s content.

Mallory would do best in a calm home with no kids or older kids preferred. She is not the leader of the pack but likes to see out the other dogs in the house so another small dog as a companion would be preferred.

If you think you will be a good fit to be a family for Mallory, please make sure you have an updated application on file and email Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) to let her know you want to be considered.
