Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Gizmo in Columbus, OH

Gizmo is a sweet 5 year old tricolor boy who loves spending most of his time very close to his foster mom. Curled up on the back of the couch while you are reading, or next to your chair while you work is just fine with Gizmo as long as you are near.

Gizmo’s family selflessly surrendered him to rescue when they felt their lifestyle required him to spend too much time in a crate. The crate still isn’t his favorite place, but he will rest comfortably there while you are away once he’s sure you will come back soon. He will also sleep overnight in the crate, but would prefer a spot in the big bed, stretched out on his back, all four paws in the air just begging for belly rubs. So cute and silly!

He loves to watch the goings-on in the neighborhood from the back of the couch and keeps us all safe from Amazon drivers, Door Dash deliveries and random items blowing across the yard. He does not require a fenced yard, and walks well on a leash and loves to take daily walks. He barks at first at new people, but settles quickly when reassured they are friend, not foe.

Gizmo guards his food from other dogs so is crated at meal time. While he gets along with his foster siblings in all other ways, he would be probably be happiest as an only dog with all the food, all the treats, and all the attention. He is so eager to please and return your affection.

Gizmo weighs 20 pounds, is fully recovered from recent neuter surgery, and is in good health. He has no audible heart murmer, is up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped. He will need a dental cleaning in the near future. He is housebroken, but his signal to go out is subtle – happy wigglebutt much like him at other times – so he does best when kept on a schedule.

Please read Our Process and FAQ sections. If your home is a match for Gizmo, please complete the online application if you haven’t already done so, and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know of your interest.

Ross in Dallas, TX

Here is Ross with his new mom…

Ross is an adorable 11 month old (6/20/25) tricolor Cavalier ready to find a family of his own! Due to a change in his previous family’s schedule, he is now looking for a forever home where he can thrive.

Ross is a happy, curious, and social little guy. He enjoys children and gets along well with both dogs and cats. Due to his small size, gentle dogs and kids over age 8 would be best.

He is playful, vocal, and always up for a game of fetch or an adventure outdoors. One of his favorite things in the world is going for walks! The moment he sees his leash, his tail starts wagging and he’s ready to go! He may bark at dogs and critters on his walk to announce his excitement and presence. He loves exploring and has a strong instinct to chase squirrels, rabbits, and other creatures, so a securely fenced yard is a must.

This sweet boy is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in his crate. He has been doing very well with house training in his foster home and has remained accident free when kept on a consistent potty schedule. He does well holding it overnight.

He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and in good health. He is still very much in his “puppy brain” stage and would thrive with an active family that can provide exercise, enrichment, and continued training.

If you’re looking for a playful friend who is always ready for the next adventure, Ross might be the guy for you.

If you believe you would be the perfect match for Ross, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelbynfields@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Please read the FAQ on the website for additional information. Please emails only and within a 4 hour driving distance.

Harley in Loveland, CO

Harley with his forever family!

Meet Harley, a well-behaved, Cavalier lover boy, who will steal your heart with his first hello. Harley is a gentle soul who loves everybody. He gets along great with other dogs and cats. Harley loves playing with his foster brother who also is a Cavalier.

Harley was born on August 17, 2018, making him 7 years/10 months old. He is an active boy! When outdoors he will sniff and search everywhere for the squirrel that just might be hanging out in the yard. He would enjoy a home with a fenced yard. Harley loves to go on short walks. Harley will spin in circles excitedly when he knows he is going for a ride. He is a great passenger and lays down and sleeps while traveling.

Harley came to us because his elderly owners could no longer take care of him. His living situation had become stressful and he had begun to urinate in the house. Harley has been on a remedial training program while in foster care and is back to having good house training and has been accident-free for a month now.

A heart murmur was noticed during his intake exam. Since he needed to go under anesthesia for a dental, he had a cardiology exam and heart echo. Harley has Degenerative Heart Disease with a grade II out of VI heart murmur and is at stage B1. He needs no heart medications at this time. He should have a follow-up cardiologist visit in 9-12 months unless concerns are noticed before then. After his dental, Harley only has three teeth left. He is eating soft food for the next couple of weeks.

Harley LOVES FOOD!! Harley is very food motivated but his love for food put a few too many pounds on him. He came to us weighing nearly 29 pounds, now weighs 27 pounds now with a goal weight of 23 pounds.

Harley would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. He gets along well with other dogs and cats so a home with other animals would be great. He would love to have a fenced yard. Another small friendly playmate would be welcome, but he was an only pet most of his life.

I have never had such a well behaved, gentle soul, and loving dog in my entire fostering career. Harley will be one of the best things that will ever happen for you.

If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an adoption application and email Carolyn CarolynCKCS@comcast.net so she knows you are interested.

William in Urbana, IL

Here is William with his new mom…

Meet William! Will is an almost 6-month-old tricolor Cavalier born on December 3, 2025. This handsome little boy weighs about 8 pounds and has the sweetest, most loving personality. He absolutely lights up when he gets attention from his people and loves nothing more than snuggling close.

Will’s story is a special one. After his breeder detected a heart murmur, he was given to Cavalier Rescue USA so he could receive the medical care he needed. Will was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), a congenital heart condition, and underwent life-saving corrective surgery in April. After 30 days of rest and recovery, he is now healthy, thriving, and full of happy puppy energy! Even better, his heart murmur is gone.

Will is not only resilient, but incredibly adorable. He has beautiful markings, an extremely photogenic face, and an adorable little white spot on his backside that makes him extra unique.

Like most puppies, Will is curious, playful, and still learning boundaries. He enjoys exploring outdoors, walks nicely on a leash, and loves toys, treats, and spending time with his people. He has already learned to sit for treats and is continuing to learn new commands. Will is reliably house trained with continued consistency and positive reinforcement, and he is also crate trained and sleeps great overnight although he would happily snuggle up with his humans instead!

Will gets along well with other dogs and wants to be close to his foster family at all times. He can be a little vocal when excited, especially when greeting his people or getting a new toy or treat. Because he is still a young, energetic puppy, Will would do best in a home with a secure physically fenced yard where he can safely explore and burn off some puppy energy.

Will is currently too young to be neutered, so his forever family is required and must agree to have him neutered around 9–10 months of age. He also has a cryptorchid right testicle, while the left testicle is fully descended.

He is up to date on vaccines, heartworm/flea/tick prevention, and has been successfully treated for parasites called Giardia and Coccidia. Will should also have a follow-up appointment with a cardiologist in approximately 5–8 months for a repeat echocardiogram to monitor his heart size and function and ensure there is no residual blood flow. Thankfully, the echocardiogram performed the day after surgery showed no residual blood flow, which was wonderful news.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate puppy who is ready for adventures, cuddles, and a lifetime of companionship, William may be your perfect match.

If you can provide William with a loving home, a fenced yard, and positive reinforcement training, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested in giving this special boy the forever home he deserves.

Remi in Queens, NY

Here is Remi with his new family…

Meet Remi! This adorable pup was born 10/30/2025, so is about 6.5 months old. Remi is a healthy, handsome tricolor pup who is looking for a new start. He came into rescue through no fault of his own and is ready for a new start. He is incredibly sweet and knows exactly how to charm everyone he meets.

Remi is a smart young guy who loves to keep busy. He’s looking for an active family that will keep him mentally and physically stimulated. He picks up tricks fast, loves a good pile of toys, and lives for the “zoomies” and galloping around the house. More than anything, he loves being around people and is always down for a good cuddle. He currently resides in his foster family’s apartment and gets three walks a day (including one long 40-minute walk). He loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and is a total pro on public transit (buses, trains, and taxis). He shares his foster home with a 10-year-old dog whom he respects completely. He’d do awesome in a home with a canine sibling!

This pup is almost fully house-trained with just a few accidents here and there. He knows how to use pee pads, though his aim is still a work in progress. He is a healthy boy and weighs 9 lbs.

Remi’s ideal match is an active family that can spend plenty of time with him and understands the structure and routine that a growing pup needs. A home with a yard to burn off his puppy energy would be amazing, but it’s not a dealbreaker if he gets enough outdoor time.

Remi is very attached to his humans and currently gets anxious when left alone, which leads to barking and crying. Because of this, an apartment with close neighbors would be difficult unless someone is home most of the time. He currently struggles with crate training. Since he’s still so young, this is definitely behavior that can be managed with time, training, and dedication. Remi’s forever family must be dedicated to helping him through his anxiety.

Remi is a sweet, smart, and fun-loving dog with a ton of affection to give. If you’re ready to give him a chance, you’re going to get a loyal, incredibly entertaining companion for life.

If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy and live within a few hours drive of Queens, NY, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already and then email Amanda Bunting at amanda.bunting.phd@gmail.com so she know to look at your form.

Update 6-4-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Meet our sweetheart, Finnegan! Finnegan came into rescue after his mom sadly passed away. Fortunately, she had left instructions on who to contact if help was needed. Finn is 7-years old and a little larger than most Cavaliers, weighing in at a sturdy 27 lbs.

Finnegan is one of the nicest Cavaliers we have ever fostered! He is a happy, laidback boy. He enjoys poking around outside and finding a stick to chew on. He is not demanding, and he doesn’t jump up on the furniture or bed. He’s content sleeping near you and enjoys the cool floor. He has the run of the house but chooses to sleep in his crate sometimes. Finn has a couple of jobs around the house, 1) he’s a good fly chaser, and 2) he acts as usher to be sure everyone has exited the TV room at bedtime.

Finn is good for the vet and groomer. His coat is heavy, and he requires regular grooming. He loves everyone: men, women, kids. He’s good with other dogs but unknown with cats. He rides nicely in the car and walks well on leash. He is a lower energy dog. with a chilled personality. He sits nicely for his treat and comes when called.

Finnegan has been loved and well cared for! He is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is heartworm negative. Finn has a level 4/6 heart murmur and requires medication. He has some seasonal allergies that may also require meds.

Don’t miss out on this very special boy!
