Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Blackjack and Bandit in Evergreen, CO

Be prepared to fall head over heels for Blackjack (the tricolor) and Bandit (the blenheim), a sweet and loving bonded pair, with happy tails that wag at the speed of light! These warm-hearted and chill boys were born on January 11, 2017, are 9-years-young and are impressively frisky and full of life.

They were surrendered due to their owner’s health issues and settled right away into their foster home. These gentle boys are nothing but relaxed, comfortable, and not shy about handing out kisses. “Cool as cucumbers” should be their motto.

They think the resident Cavalier buddies are terrific, and everyone enjoys playing musical beds. They’ve kindly greeted neighborhood dogs and humans on their walks. Kids and cats remain a mystery, but so far nothing fazes them.

Both boys are excellent supervisors. Blackjack will often follow your every move to make sure you are doing everything right. Bandit is content to find a quiet spot not too far from the action. Belly rubs are frequently in demand from Bandit and Blackjack is content watching his foster human or sunning himself on the deck.

While in foster care, the pups had intake exams and Blackjack had a dental done. Both have some arthritis and take daily joint supplements ($40/month). Blackjack takes a pain medication for his arthritis, also $40/month. Each boy has some luxation in their patellas, but surgery is not recommended. Blackjack does well on carpeted stairs, but a long flight of wooden stairs would not be ok. Bandit has a grade 1 heart murmur (no medication currently needed). No heart murmur was detected for Blackjack. Both are up to date on all vaccinations and had negative heartworm tests. Blackjack had a dental with three extractions.

Bandit and Blackjack are “full-figured” gents and have been on a nutritious weight reduction plan since arriving in foster care. Bandit weighs 29 pounds and Blackjack is 34 pounds. Each will need to continue their weight loss journey to live their healthiest lives.

They are terrific leash walkers and really zoom along at a brisk pace – especially when it’s cool outside. Shorter walks are best when the temperature rises.

If you believe you would be a perfect match for both of these wonderful boys, please complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then email Carolyn at carolynckcs@comcast.net to let her know of your interest.

Charlie in Dallas, TX

Meet sweet Charlie!

Charlie is a six-year-old male Cavalier with the heart, energy and joy of a much younger dog. He was born on October 9, 2019.

Since settling into his foster home, he has truly opened up and shown everyone what a sweet, happy, loving boy he is.

Charlie has the best personality and always seems to be smiling. He loves toys, walks, and anything that gives him the chance to chase squirrels and bunnies.

He is active, curious, and playful, but also has a very affectionate side. Charlie loves his people, and will happily follow you around the house just to be near you.

He knows his name and will come running when he’s called. He seems to really enjoy hearing it, and just loves being included in whatever is going on.

One of the cutest things about Charlie is that he has started “talking” when he is ready for mealtime. He loves his food and has no problem letting you know, in the sweetest way possible, that dinner should not be delayed.

Charlie enjoys hunting squirrels with his foster brother, but he is just as happy being close to his humans.

Charlie loves sleeping in bed and will greet you each morning with sweet kisses.

He is housebroken, and has had only one accident in his foster home.

Charlie weighs twenty-four pounds and is at a good, healthy weight. He is up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm preventatives. He recently had a dental procedure where two teeth were removed. He has been taking Zyrtec for some seasonal allergies. He has a healthy heart with no murmur detected.

Charlie is the absolute sweetest and kindest boy. If you are looking for a loving, happy, playful companion and are ready to open your heart to a wonderful Cavalier, Charlie may be the right dog for you.

Buster in Okemos, MI

Here is Buster with his new family…

Thank you to all supporters, friends, and family of Cavalier Rescue USA. You have provided Buster with the gift of sight! And he is so happy, and now Buster is ready to be adopted!

Buster is a 23.5 lb, dapper Blenheim male. The vet thinks he is about 9 or 10 years young, although his owner said he was 6. Buster came to rescue from an owner who was experiencing declining health and was no longer able to care for Buster. At his initial vet visit after arriving in rescue, we learned that Buster was nearly blind in both eyes due to severe cataracts. In May, Buster had the cataracts removed in both eyes, immediately relieving the discomfort he was experiencing in one eye. His sight has been restored, and Buster finds himself in a whole new, colorful, exciting world!

Having sight restored has boosted his demeanor greatly. Buster’s confidence has increased and he is much less anxious. At his follow-up visit to the ophthalmologist, Buster freely gave tons of thank you kisses to his doctor and the care staff. This new life philosophy of “free kisses for everyone!” has extended to his foster family and everyone he meets at Home Depot, the park, and other outings.

Buster amplifies all the typical Cavalier traits! There is more love packed into his 24lb frame than he can give in one day. He has a wonderful, happy disposition. He is a quiet, loving soul, never barking inside or outside the home. Buster gets along well with the other Cavaliers in his foster home — they helped nudge him around the house when he had difficulty seeing.

Buster loves his daily walks and is the first one to the door to get his harness on. This is no easy feat, as Buster wiggles with joy and unloads tons of kisses whilst gearing up for a walk. He is great on a leash and responds well to praise along the way. Buster also really loves riding in a car, even if it is just around the block. He is reluctant to leave the car once the ride is complete. Buster also enjoys the outdoors, but prefers to stick close to his foster family and the other Cavaliers in his foster home. Buster’s favorite place is being next to his people. How else can he unload all his free kisses?!

Buster is housebroken, having had no accidents inside his foster family’s home. He uses a bell by the back door to signal his need to go outside. Buster does not require a fenced yard, only a family that will monitor him when he is outside. He does not need to be crated when his family leaves the home. He is content to take a nap alongside his foster siblings when the people are gone.

Buster is doing extremely well after his cataract surgery. One eye still looks cloudy, but the vet is hoping that will clear up in the next month. Buster is on a scheduled regime of eye drops (three different drops, twice a day) and visits to his Veterinarian Ophthalmologist in Williamston, Michigan. He will need a six-month and 12-month follow-up visit to his eye doctor (in November and May 2027). And Buster may need to continue one of the eye drop treatments for his lifetime (cost is about $55 for a three-month supply). He is very good about getting his eye drops. Why? Well, it’s another opportunity to give kisses.

Buster would do well in a family where someone is home most of the time. He would enjoy the companionship and support of a small canine sibling. His fur-ever family will need to administer eye drops and should take him on regular walks to help Buster with his weight management. He would benefit from dropping another few pounds.

Buster is neutered, microchipped, and UTD on his shots. No heart issues were detected.

If you are looking for a loving companion that will provide endless love and attention, then Buster is right for you! He has been an extreme gem-of-a-gentleman while in foster care and with his prior owner. He’s a really special and immensely thankful dog.

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 Buster. We will only consider applicants that will continue to provide his eye care, are able to take Buster to his follow-up vet visits (to the ophthalmologist in Williamston, MI), and are home most of the day.

Toby in Carmel, IN

Here is the pup with his new family…

Meet Toby, a nine-month-old Blenheim boy!

Toby was surrendered by his owner who didn’t have time to give him the life he deserves. He has only had one previous owner.

Toby is as sweet as he can be. He’s a puppy through and through, with tons of energy and a true zest for life.

Toby is very friendly. He’s never met a a stranger.

Toby loves walking on a leash with his foster Mom, and does a great job on every walk.

He has been enjoying a fenced-in yard with two other dogs to play with. Toby gets along well with the other dogs. He has not, however, been observed around cats.

Toby is crate-trained when his foster family leaves the house for brief periods. He enjoys sleeping in his crate all night. He really loves his crate.

Toby does very well with children, and loves playing with them. He also loves his toys, especially stuffed animals. He loves cuddling on the couch …once he gets his energy out.

Toby is very happy go-lucky and goes with the flow. He does not seem to be bothered by a chaotic events, such as the arrival of house guests.

He is great at going potty outside if he is taken out every few hours.

Toby will need some manners training, as he is still very much an energetic little guy who loves to learn.

He is the sweetest boy, and will do well in a family with children and lots of fun activities.

Toby will be neutered soon, and once healed will be available for adoption. He will require a belly band for a time while inside the house till he learns not to mark.

If you feel you can give Toby the perfect forever home, please read Our Process and FAQs and complete our online application, if you have not already.

Please also email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest in this sweet boy.

Applicants within a four hour drive of Carmel will be considered.

River in Douglassville, PA

Here is River with his new family….

Say “hello” to River!

This sweet two-year-old Blenheim boy was surrendered to rescue from a Lancaster County commercial breeder, as he was not successful as a breeding dog.

River is happily enjoying his early retirement spending most of his time cuddling next to his foster Mom.

River is great with traveling, bathing and grooming.

He is house trained and crate trained, although he does not like to sleep in his crate at night. He prefers a small, cozy confined area to sleep in at his foster home’s bedroom.

River is a bit timid with new people and his surroundings, and will sometimes bark. He is fine walking on a leash and harness on a very quiet street, however loud noises and fast moving cars do make him nervous. He loves to explore the fenced in yard and has learned how to go up and down steps.

River is very cautious when eating and drinking, and can get easily distracted. It is best to feed him in his crate (or at least away from other dogs) so he can focus on finishing his meals.

River gets along well with other dogs. He would, however, also do great as an only dog, as long as he gets to spend a lot of time with humans.

He would do well with a family that that would continue training and exercise him. We are not recommending a family with young children, as River prefers a calmer, quieter environment.

River is up to date on his vaccines and neutered. He does not have any health issues and is at an ideal weight (12.5 pounds) for his body frame.

If you think your family would be a good fit for River, and you live within a few hours of Douglassvile, please let us know. Make sure you have an updated application on file.

Please also reach out to Melissa MacMullin (email only) at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as River’s forever family.

Piper and Magic in Lewisburg, OH

Meet Piper and Magic, a delightful bonded pair looking for a loving home together.

Hello, my name is Piper. I am 11 years old and was born January 6, 2015. I weigh 18 pounds. My color is Blenheim. I have a small thumbprint on my head between my ears. My foster parents can tell me and Magic apart by the spot. I have big, beautiful eyes. I don’t hear very well, but I follow Magic, my foster dog siblings and my foster parents around well. Magic and I were given to the Cavalier Rescue USA by our owner who had a change in family circumstances and sadly could no longer keep us. Our owner wanted a perfect forever home for us. She said that we deserve it.

I am a happy easy-going dog. Nothing bothers me. I am always wagging my tail. I love being as close to my foster parents as possible. I follow them everywhere. I sleep in a dog bed with Magic, in my foster parents’ bedroom. Occasionally, when my Aussie mix foster sister leaves the room, I will climb the doggie stairs and snuggle with my foster dad.

I’ve had my shots, am spayed, micro-chipped, and had two tumors taken out of my tummy that were benign. I had some dental work done and I lost all my teeth. My foster dad takes kibble and wets it and stores in the refrigerator. He warms in the microwave and smashes it with a fork for me to eat. I am housebroken when taken out on the schedule. My foster parents are home most of the time, so I go outside every 3 to 4 hours. Magic and I will take walks, but we are not that excited about them.

Hello, my name is Magic. I am also a Blenheim Cavalier. I weigh 19 pounds and I’m nine years old. My birthday is February 21, 2017. I am very close to Piper. When she left to go to the vet I cried and scratched at the door. I protect Piper. She needs me. Although, I am a bit more afraid of things than she is. I love to follow my foster parents around. I do well with my foster Cavalier that is here. I don’t do so well with the bigger foster dog. She’s nosy and always wants to know what everybody’s doing. She licks my head too. I will eat the other dog’s food, so my foster parents put me behind the gate to eat. I do growl if someone is eating a snack in the living room and I think the other dogs are getting too close to it. I am working on those things. My two favorite things are to be petted and sitting beside someone. I have all my shots. I have a low-grade murmur but not on any meds yet. I am micro-chipped and housebroken. Sometimes I wet on the patio instead of the yard.

For this pair, we are looking for a family where someone is around much of the time that has a fenced yard and kids over the age of 8 (if there are children in the family). If you meet all what we’re looking for and live within three hours of Lewisburg, OH. please complete our online application if you haven’t already and email Sherry Morgan morgans817@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest.
