Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Loki in Richmond, TX

At 11 years young and just 18 pounds, Loki is a handsome tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart as sweet as they come! His most unique feature? One beautiful blue eye that makes him extra special. This petite gentleman is ready to find the forever home he deserves!

Loki came into rescue as an owner surrender and has spent the past couple of months getting healthy and preparing for his next chapter. Loki has a grade 3 heart murmur and is currently taking Vetmedin. He has been treated for pancreatitis and skin issues, due to this Loki requires a special veterinary diet, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Hydrolyzed Protein, to help manage his digestive and skin concerns. His forever family will need to continue his medication, special diet, and routine veterinary care.

Now for the fun part — Loki has the most easygoing personality! He’s a laid-back boy who is perfectly happy snoozing on a cozy blanket on the couch while his people are away. He can be trusted loose in the house and is wonderfully content to relax until you return. At bedtime, he would love to snuggle up in your bed, but he’s also happy to sleep peacefully in his crate through the night.

Loki gets along with dogs, cats, children, and adults, making him a lovely companion for many types of families. His ideal home would be one where someone is around most of the time to enjoy his sweet company.

Loki doesn’t ask for much — just a comfy place to nap, a loving human by his side, and a family willing to give a senior gentleman the care and affection he deserves.

After all he’s been through, it’s time for Loki to enjoy his happily-ever-after. Could you be the lucky person who gets to love this special boy?

Kobe and Harley in Urbana, IL

Meet Kobe and Harley!

Kobe and Harley are a bonded pair of Cavaliers who came to rescue after their previous owner could no longer care for them. These two are absolute sweethearts who love everyone they meet. Just look at them and their tails start wagging! They are happiest when they are cuddled up next to their people, and would happily spend all day snuggling.

Both Kobe and Harley are friendly, happy and well-behaved. They both get along wonderfully with people and other dogs. They are both great with children.

They are housetrained, know basic commands and quickly learned how to use a dog door. They are comfortable being crated together when their people are away or overnight, and never make a peep. But they would LOVE to sleep in bed with you. Since they have had no accidents, they likely would be fine out of their crate in their forever home.

Both are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and recently had dental cleanings and extractions. They are also beginning to discover the joys of toys and chew bones now that their dental issues have been addressed.

Meet Kobe!

Kobe is a six-year-old Tricolor boy who is 100% guaranteed to melt your heart!

Kobe is incredibly calm, affectionate and gentle. He absolutely adores people, other dogs and his sister Harley. He is truly a gentle giant!

Kobe loves mealtime more than anything. His biggest challenge right now is his weight. He has already lost more than two pounds, but is still significantly overweight at 43 pounds. His forever family will need to continue helping him lose weight gradually.

Kobe takes a daily joint supplement for his hips and knees, and happily gobbles it up like a treat.

Kobe enjoys walks and is good on a leash, but he tires quickly and does best with shorter walks and breaks. He especially enjoys walking with Harley because he loves following his sister.

He can manage short flights of stairs, but would do best in a home without long staircases while he works on losing weight.

Kobe is also an excellent napper and a very loud snorer! Of course it only adds to his charm.

Meet Harley!

Harley is a lovable seven-year-old Black and Tan girl who weighs 21.5 pounds. She is an absolute professional cuddler, and would happily spend her days curled up next to you or sitting on your lap. She loves following her people around the house so she can claim her spot the moment they sit down.

Harley is more active than her brother and loves going for walks. She gets incredibly excited when she sees her leash! She can be a little vocal and reactive on walks. She may bark at cars, bicyclists, people, and critters, but her foster family is working with her to help her feel more comfortable.

She is also a little watchdog when someone comes to the door, but once visitors come inside, she is friendly and welcoming.

Harley has a low-grade heart murmur, but does not currently require medication. This should continue to be monitored by a cardiologist.

Harley only has seven teeth remaining following her recent dental. Her foster family softens her kibble with warm water and salt-free chicken stock to make eating easier.

Kobe and Harley are truly a joy to have around. They have adjusted beautifully to their foster home and are loving, affectionate, calm and incredibly easy to adore. Their forever family will be very lucky to have this sweet pair. If you are looking for two wonderful Cavaliers who love nothing more than being together and being loved, Kobe and Harley may be the perfect match!

Cali in Federal Way, WA

Meet Cali: A Sweet Girl Ready for the Life She Deserves!

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving little shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side, meet Cali! This beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel might just be your perfect match!

Cali will turn 6 years old in December, and she is finally getting to experience what it means to be a cherished family member. For most of her life, she was a breeding dog and seemingly lived in a garage converted into a kennel. When her breeder retired, Cali was surrendered to rescue, and her whole world began to change. When she first arrived, Cali knew very little about living in a home. Things like couches, cozy beds, backyard adventures, and everyday household routines were all new to her. But she is discovering just how wonderful life as a beloved pet can be, and she is absolutely soaking it up!

Above all else, Cali wants to love and be loved. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and eager to please. She follows her foster family from room to room, always wanting to be close to her people. She doesn’t ask for much: just a soft place to land, a kind hand to pet her, and someone who will love her as much as she loves them. Because so much of the world is still new to her, Cali can be a little shy or overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations. But underneath that uncertainty is a loving, gentle dog who is blossoming a little more every day. She just needs a patient family willing to give her the time, encouragement, and reassurance she deserves.

A few things to know about Cali:

Housetraining: Cali is doing wonderfully and is mostly housetrained! However, living in a house is still a relatively new experience, so her future family must be committed to maintaining a consistent potty schedule and crating her when no one is home until her housetraining is completely reliable. She has made great progress, and consistency will be the key to her continued success.

Other animals: Cali is wonderful with other dogs! She hasn’t been formally tested with cats, but she ignored the cats she encountered at the veterinary office, and we suspect she would do well with a friendly, dog-savvy kitty.

Children: Cali loves kids! Her gentle, affectionate personality makes her a wonderful candidate for a family with kind, respectful children.

Health: Cali is spayed and generally healthy. She has a luxating patella (a kneecap that occasionally slips out of place) in one of her back legs, but her veterinarian did not feel that treatment or surgery was necessary. She also recently had a dental cleaning with seven teeth extracted, but she still has plenty of teeth remaining! She weighs 23 pounds and is a healthy weight.

Her voice: Cali’s previous owner had her debarked, a surgical procedure intended to reduce the volume of a dog’s bark. This was done before she entered rescue.

Cali’s perfect home will be one filled with kindness, patience, and plenty of affection. She would especially love a family where someone is home frequently, because being close to her people is truly her favorite thing in the world. She doesn’t need perfection, fancy toys, or grand adventures. She needs someone who understands that she’s still learning how to be a house dog and is willing to celebrate all the little milestones along the way.

For nearly six years, Cali spent her life giving puppies to other families. Now it’s finally her turn to be somebody’s baby. She has so much love to give, and after everything she’s known, there is something incredibly touching about how completely she wants to trust, please, and adore the people around her.

If you have room in your home, a little patience in your heart, and a spot on your couch for the sweetest little companion, Cali is ready to spend the rest of her life showing you just how much love one little dog can give. To be considered as her new family, please complete the online application if you haven’t done so recently. Then email Melissa at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.

Sir Charlie in Celina, TX

Meet Sir Charlie! Sir Charlie is a handsome five-year-old born on August 13, 2021.

Charlie has a sweet, easy-going personality and so much love to give. He absolutely adores people and is happiest when he can be close to his favorite humans. Whether he’s climbing into your lap for a hug, curling up beside you on the couch, or soaking up scratches while you watch TV, Charlie is truly a little lovebug.

Charlie came into rescue when his previous owner was no longer able to provide the care he needed. He previously lived with four other dogs and currently shares his foster home with two dogs and two cats. He gets along well with other dogs, although given the choice, Charlie will usually pick his people! He loves attention and isn’t shy about joining in when his foster brothers are getting pets and cuddles. He mostly ignores the cats in his foster home. Charlie has also spent time with a nine-year-old child and did very well.

While Charlie is generally calm and laid-back, he has a playful side too. He enjoys spending time outside, running around the backyard and relaxing in the sunshine. A fenced yard is important for Charlie, as he has been known to dig and may look for an escape route if given the opportunity. His yard should be checked regularly, and supervision outdoors is needed.

At bedtime, Charlie sleeps in his crate. He may whine briefly when settling in, but within a few minutes he is usually sound asleep.

Charlie is potty trained, although he does not consistently alert when he needs to go outside, so regular potty breaks will be important. He did have some accidents the first few days in a new house, so a belly band is suggested for those first days. But once he got used to his foster parents’ routine he has not had accidents.

The good news is that Charlie is trusted to roam freely in the house when his foster parents are away.

During his time in rescue, Charlie has been neutered, had a dental cleaning, and received treatment for parasites and an ear yeast infection. He also has a grade two heart murmur that does not currently require medication, but will need monitoring.

Charlie is ready for a family who will give him plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and companionship. In return, he’ll happily provide all the hugs, lap time and unconditional love you could ask for.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion to curl up beside you, Charlie just might be your perfect match!

Ruger in Portland, OR

Here is Ruger with his new mom…

Meet Ruger, a faithful companion looking for his forever home!

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will happily be your little shadow, meet Ruger! This approximately 9-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel came to rescue after his beloved owner passed away. Now Ruger is ready to find a forever family to love him through his golden years.

Ruger is a sweet, affectionate, happy boy with a tail that rarely stops wagging! He loves his people and has a wonderful way of making sure he’s never too far away. Wherever you go, Ruger will likely be right behind you, content simply to be wherever you are.

And then there’s his favorite activity: FETCH! Did we mention that Ruger REALLY loves to play fetch? He also enjoys his toys, long walks, and joining his people on adventures. But don’t worry, when it’s time for a quiet day at home, he’s perfectly happy to settle in for a good nap. Ruger has the best of both worlds: a playful spirit and a loving, easygoing nature.

Ruger gets along very well with other dogs, especially fellow Cavaliers. We don’t know how he would do with cats since his foster family doesn’t have any. He’s also a hit with kids, who seem to fall for him immediately! This smart boy is completely housebroken and loves having access to a doggie door so he can head outside whenever he pleases in a securely fenced yard. At bedtime, he’s happy sleeping in his crate, on his own dog bed, or even with you if you don’t mind sharing your space with a snorer!

Ruger has a funny little personality quirk: when he gets excited, he likes to talk! Sometimes he’ll start chatting away when he spots other dogs on his walks. Once he settles down, he may even rub his back on the ground. He’s got plenty of personality packed into that sweet little Cavalier body!

Like many senior Cavaliers, Ruger has a few special care needs, but they don’t diminish the wonderful companion he is. Ruger has a grade 5/6 heart murmur due to mitral valve disease (MVD) and takes Vetmedin. He is currently doing well, and his ongoing heart condition and medications should be discussed with his veterinarian as part of his continued care. With a little extra care, you will receive a lot of love.

In addition to seeing a veterinary cardiologist while in rescue, Ruger was microchipped, had a dental, and is now up to date with vaccines. Because of previous dental issues, Ruger had all his teeth removed. He’s adapted very well and enjoys his meals, but he will need to eat soft food for the rest of his life. At 20 pounds, he’s at a healthy weight.

Ruger has so much love left to give. He’s looking for a loving home where he’ll be included in family life, have someone to share his walks and adventures with, and always have a cozy place to land at the end of the day. In return, you’ll have a devoted little shadow, a champion fetch player, an enthusiastic conversationalist, and a faithful friend who will make every day a little brighter.

If you are interested in Ruger, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, then email Cindy Kastner at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior Cavalier, Ruger is waiting to meet you.

Lucy in Medford, OR

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to shower with love, look no further than Miss Lucy! At 9 years young and a petite 16 pounds, this gorgeous tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has plenty of love to give. Her foster family says her name should actually be spelled L-O-V-E!

Lucy’s journey hasn’t always been easy. She spent the first six years of her life in a breeding facility, raising puppies. She was later cherished by a loving owner, whose passing led Lucy to the care of Cavalier Rescue USA this past August. Now, Lucy is ready for her next chapter: a forever home where she can enjoy her well-deserved retirement, soak up affection, and be pampered like the little Queen she is!

Lucy is a happy, devoted girl who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She loves being your little shadow, following you from room to room and keeping you company throughout the day. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or going about your daily routine, Lucy is happiest when she can be right there beside you. If you’re looking for a companion who will fill your days with affection, she may be just the girl for you!

Lucy is a good girl at mealtime, too! She absolutely loves her food and has mastered the art of sitting patiently while waiting for her tasty meals. She’s a smart girl who enjoys her routines and is happy to earn a delicious reward. When the leash comes out, Lucy knows something fun is about to happen! She enjoys her daily walks and happily greets the neighbors and fellow dog walkers she meets along the way. Friendly, gentle, and outgoing, Lucy loves making new friends and welcoming visitors of all ages.

More than anything, Lucy wants a home where she can be cherished and included in everyday life. She would do well with someone who is home often and appreciates having a loving little companion close by. In return, Lucy promises plenty of devotion, companionship, and a whole lot of love.

Just prior to being rescued, Lucy was spayed and had a small mammary-area tumor removed. Like many Cavaliers, she has mitral valve disease (MVD), which has caused a grade 4/6 heart murmur. She happily takes her twice-daily Vetmedin tucked into a treat. Lucy is microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and underwent dental surgery while in rescue to eliminate an old infection.

Lucy loves getting outdoors and enjoying her daily walks. Her special pink all-weather booties will accompany her to her new home to help protect her paws in extreme weather conditions. Her favorite cozy bedding, toys, leash, and collar will be coming along, too!

Lucy is completely deaf, but that certainly hasn’t stopped her from enjoying life! She is learning hand signals and has already picked up several during her time in foster care. Because Lucy cannot hear approaching cars or other potential dangers, her forever home must have a secure physical fence to keep her safe. She adapts well to familiar routines and is a smart girl who is eager to learn.

She is fully house-trained and has a sweet way of letting her people know when she needs to go outside: she simply sits patiently by the door. Lucy may also offer a mellow bark when she spots someone unfamiliar near the front gate. Of course, if she’s comfortably snoozing, she might not bother!

Lucy is ready to leave her difficult beginnings behind and enjoy the comforts of a loving home. She would be especially happy with someone who is home often, enjoys having a devoted companion nearby, and has plenty of affection to share. She would be fine with other pets in the household but prefers her humans.

Imagine having a little shadow who follows you through the house, greets everyone with happy enthusiasm on your walks, and curls up beside you when it’s time to relax. That’s Lucy—a sweet, outgoing love bug who simply wants to belong. If you have an abundance of love to give, a cozy couch to share, and a safe, secure yard, Lucy may be the little Queen you’ve been waiting for.

If you are interested in Lucy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Cindy Kastner at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. Lucy is ready to share her enormous heart with you! Could you be the one to give her the forever home she deserves?
