Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Ellie in Douglassville, PA

Update 12-1-25: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Ellie is a six year old Blenheim female mix that was surrendered to rescue due to changes in her family. She looks and acts mostly like a Cavalier but she is long and has shorter legs than a typical Cavalier.

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Ellie is at an ideal weight for her frame at 18 lbs. This amazing girl is house-trained and crate trained. She sleeps all night in her crate and will wake up when you do.

Ellie walks great on a leash but, loves free time to run around so a fenced in yard would be preferred for her. She does not mind being bathed or groomed. She travels well in a crate. Ellie has been around a cat and don’t mind it.

Loud noises and storms do not faze this girl, but she will bark on occasion when someone comes to the door.

Ellie loves to meet new people and pets. Playing fetch and having chew toys are favorite hobbies for this busy girl. Her age may say six but, she has the stamina of a puppy. She does voice her opinion not by barking but, whining when she wants to play or a toy is unreachable (under the couch). This love bug would do great with an active family that will play with her and continue exercising her. Ellie is a high energy girl, but, will snuggle with you and watch the world go by as well.

If you think your family would be a good fit for Ellie, please make sure you have a current application on file. You will then need to email Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) to let her know that you are interested and would like to be considered to be her new family.

Lady in Lafayette, CA

Here is the pup with her new family…

Meet lovely Lady, a 7-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart as soft as her silky ears. This gentle girl is the definition of calm, love, and sweetness. She’s happiest when she’s curled up beside you, napping and softly snoring the day away, but don’t let her love of lounging fool you — she adores her daily walks and will happily play a game of catch whenever you’re up for it.

Lady is wonderfully easygoing and does beautifully with other dogs and children. She’s a quiet companion — no barking, just pure sweetness. She’s also potty trained, eager to learn, and very easy to train, making her a dream for any home.

One of Lady’s cutest quirks is the quick little squeak she makes when she wants attention or a snack. And when she’s outside finding the perfect potty spot, she’ll do her adorable little spin-around dance — guaranteed to make you smile every time.

Lady came to us as a retired breeding mama. She was recently spayed had a dental. She lost all but 4 teeth but is recovering nicely, she can eat normally without any trouble. We also found she has a mild heart murmur but no medication is recommended for now. She is a bit hard of hearing so isn’t bothered by loud noises or busy environments — she’s simply calm, content, and happy to be wherever you are. Now this darling girl is looking for a wonderful home to spend her golden years.

If you’re looking for a loving, gentle, and wonderfully mellow companion, Lady is ready to fill your home with affection and quiet joy. Lady needs a home with someone there most of the time to keep her company for very low alone hours. She is otherwise very easy to please. She can’t wait to meet her forever family.

If Lady is the pup for you and you live within a 2-hour drive of Lafayette, CA, fill out our online application if you haven’t already. Then, please email Rescue Coordinator Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Elvis in Chesterfield, MO

Here is Elvis with his new dad…

Yes, Elvis is alive and living a healthy life! He is disguised as a handsome 6-year-old, 20 pound Blenheim Cavalier born 10/8/19! He still has the bootie wiggle, soulful howl (really a husky bark!) and quick tail thumping moves! He is waiting in Chesterfield, MO for the special family to “Love Him Tender”.

Elvis has an endearing personality as he becomes a favorite of all who meet him. He is friendly with his three foster siblings and several cats. He has had no guarding issues but will steal other pups food if given a chance. Of course, that seems to be a Cavalier trait! He sleeps in a large comfy crate but would be happy sleeping with his family also. His food (Fromm Salmon and Veg) is presented in his crate also. When his foster mom leaves the house, he is free in the kitchen area with the other pups. Most of the day he follows his foster mom and other pups around. He often wants to be on his foster mom’s lap, next to her on the chair or couch or at her feet.

Elvis is learning to walk on a leash and navigate stairs. Potty training is about 85% with opportunities to go outside about every 2 hours. He knows his name and is learning “sit”. Car rides with a safety harness are a favorite!

Since coming to Cavalier Rescue USA, Elvis has been neutered, microchipped, treated for an ear infection, had a cyst on his tail removed and dental cleaning with 26 extractions! He has been groomed to a short length due to intake mats etc. His coat has already improved in luster and health. He is also on monthly heartworm and flea and tick preventatives. In addition, weekly ear flushing is recommended to keep ears healthy. No other medications are necessary.

He has the most soulful eyes that help him get a few more treats! He has been exposed to many adults, teens and preteens. He is affectionate and has been learning routines from the other pups. Elvis would thrive with a family member home most of the time, a safe, fenced yard and family commitment to continue training.

If you can provide Elvis with a loving forever home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Sarah at Cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in adopting Elvis.

Chip in Orangevale, CA

Here is Chip with his new family…

Meet adorable, one year old, Chip! This loving pup was born 05/15/2024 and was part of a recent breeder release to Cavalier Rescue USA.

Chip is everything you want in a classic Blenheim Cavalier: he’s sweet, snuggly and playful. He is heart and overall healthy, was recently neutered and is up to date on all of his shots. His house training is still a work in progress and you will have to take him out every few hours until you learn each other’s habits. He’s a very smart boy that wants to please.

Chip weighs 13 pounds and is full of adventure, energy and Cavalier curiosity. He loves to run around in the backyard, but make sure it’s secure because he can find the smallest escape route.

He sleeps quietly in a crate next to foster mom’s bed but would love to snuggle with his family on the big bed. He plays well with his foster sibling dogs and really wants to be part of the pack. He has a good appetite and loves treats. He’s a bit shy with new people but warms up quickly.

Chip is a darling boy that’s looking for an active forever family that will continue his training and take him for lots of walks. We think he would be a great family dog with older respectful children. He has not been cat tested. Chip needs a canine companion in his new home and will be a great second dog so he can continue learning his doggie skills. He needs a securely fenced back yard. You will need to live within a couple of hours drive to his foster home to be considered for Chip.

If Chip is your dreamboat and you can fill his wish list in a forever home please complete our online application if you haven’t already, so we can get to know you better and then email your interest to our Northern California Coordinator, Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com.

Levi in Whittier, CA

Here is Levi with his new family…

Meet Levi! Just like the best feeling when you slip on your favorite pair of his namesake jeans, Levi is the pup who reminds you of all that’s right in the world. This happy 3-year-old Blenheim boy, born 3/20/22, came into rescue when his previous owners realized he needed more daily attention than they could provide.

From the very first day in his foster home, which he shares with a Cavalier sibling, Levi was relaxed and comfortable. He’s the perfect mix of active and chill. Go for a walk? Absolutely. Play with toys? He’s in and absolutely LOVES toys. Relax on the couch? He’ll be right by your side.

Levi earns gold stars for his perfect potty habits, politely pacing by the door when he needs to go out. Not only is he handsome with deep, soulful eyes, he’s also well-mannered, affectionate, and already knows basic commands. Levi truly embodies all the best traits of the Cavalier breed; sweet, adaptable, and eager to please.

One thing Levi disapproves of is being alone for more than a short time. He does find comfort having another canine friend but would also be fine as an only pet receiving all your affection. Since he is of smaller stature, Levi is wonderfully portable and an unassuming gentleman when out and about. He rides nicely in the car and would make an ideal work-from-home buddy or even a take-to-the-office pal.

While in rescue, Levi was neutered, brought up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and treated for a mild ear and skin infection; now fully resolved and cleared by the vet. He’s been raised around gentle children and, as long as they’re respectful, he’s comfortable with their attention.

Levi would likely shine in an obedience or enrichment class, which would be a fun way to strengthen his bond with his family and reinforce all his good habits as he learns routines in his new environment. He gets very excited when he sees his leash and when exploring in the yard will join in the chorus along with the neighborhood dogs. Levi has shown some mild anxiety when hearing loud noises such as fireworks and will bark, so a quiet home with continued reassurances will help him with this sensitivity.

If you’re looking for that ideal companion who brings comfort, loyalty, and joy to every day, Levi just might be the perfect fit. Please complete an online application if you haven’t already, then email Nanci at nancigordon@gmail.com to express your interest in Levi. Applicants within a reasonable drive of Whittier, CA will be considered.

Biscuit in Plymouth, MI

Biscuit and Gravy! Meet Biscuit, a happy 4-year old male Blenheim in good health and housetrained. What’s the Gravy? He loves to snuggle and hang out on the couch with his people. Who could ask for anything more?

Biscuit came into rescue after his family made the difficult decision to surrender him because of his resource guarding. In a home with young children and another young dog, this was no longer a great fit for Biscuit.

Biscuit gets along well with the other Cavaliers in his foster home. (They range in age from three to eight years.) No high value toys are present in the home. Biscuit eats in his crate. These are all steps that have prevented any acts of resource guarding. But because of his history, Biscuit will not be placed in a home with children younger than ten.

Biscuit spends the day sitting in the lap of or very near his foster Mom (who works from home) and hanging out with the other Cavaliers. He enjoys playing fetch and exploring the fenced yard. But he mostly likes to snuggle. When his foster Mom says “TV room,” Biscuit is the first of the dogs on the couch.

Biscuit has excellent housebreaking skills, and has not had any accidents in his foster home. He does well on the leash and gets his business done outdoors pretty quickly.

Biscuit is crate-trained. He goes into his crate when his foster Mom has to run errands. He also sleeps in his crate next to his foster Mom’s bed. Biscuit shows some signs of separation anxiety, barking when his foster Mom leaves the house or the room. To help minimize this, Biscuit will only be considered for applicants who are home during the day and night to keep Biscuit company.

When new people have come to visit, Biscuit has been happy to sit on their laps too. (It may take him a few minutes to warm up to new people.) He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, has been microchipped and neutered.

If you are home most of the day and live within a four to five hour drive of Plymouth, please fill out our online application if you have not already done so. Then email June at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let us know of your interest in this little bundle of love.
