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 luxating patellas . The veterinarian said surgery is not warranted. 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 and live within four hours of the foster home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then email Carolyn at carolynckcs@comcast.net to let her know of your interest.
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.
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!
