Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Sweet Pea in Logansport, IN

Sweet Pea is a gorgeous Tricolor Cavalier boy who is 4 years old (birthday 7/3/2020). Sweet Pea came into rescue when his owner was no longer able to care for him.

Sweet Pea has the best personality! He is cuddly and very affectionate. He loves being around people, and he also likes giving everyone he meets a hug. He is happiest when he can spend time with someone whether that is relaxing on the couch, spending time outside, or following them around the house.

He also enjoys being with other dogs. He gets along really well with his foster family’s other Cavaliers. He especially likes exploring the backyard and playing chase with his Cavalier friends. He likes playing with toys and loves it when you throw toys for him to fetch.

Sweet Pea is neutered and up-to-date with his vaccines, and he takes monthly flea and heartworm preventatives. He had his teeth cleaned while in rescue.

Sweet Pea is not fond of being alone, so he would be happiest in a family where someone is home much of time to keep him company. Likewise, his forever home needs a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and at least one other dog. Sweet Pea is a wonderful boy who is a delight to be around, and he will be an excellent new family member.

Reggie in Nashville, TN

Update 10-20-24: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more for now. Thank you!

We are thrilled to introduce you to Reggie, a delightful and energetic 3-month-old tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 06/24/2024.

Reggie’s journey with us began when a kind-hearted Good Samaritan rescued him and generously donated him to Cavalier Rescue USA, ensuring he’d go on to have a wonderful life in a loving home.

Reggie is a typical puppy, full of energy and excitement. He’s always ready to play and especially loves engaging with his older foster siblings who are willing to join in the fun. His playful spirit and curiosity make him the perfect companion for an active family or household with other pets that enjoy interaction.

Reggie is in excellent health, up to date on all his vaccinations, and will need to be neutered once he reaches around nine months of age. His foster family has been working with him to establish good habits, and while he’s still learning, he is a smart little guy who catches on quickly with proper guidance and structure.

If you’re ready for the joy (and maybe a little bit of puppy chaos) that comes with adding a young Cavalier to your family, Reggie will reward you with endless affection, laughter, and loyal companionship.

Thank you for considering giving Reggie the loving home he deserves. He is excited to meet his forever family and share his boundless puppy love!

If you live within a reasonable driving distance (typically 3-4 hours) of Nashville, TN, and believe your home could be the perfect place for Reggie to thrive, we would love to hear from you. Please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then send an email to Sandy Medd at rescuecavaliers@gmail.com to express your interest in Reggie. Tell us a bit about why you would be the perfect home for him and provide your location. Thank you!

Aliyah in Falls Church, VA

Aliyah is a friendly 12-year-old tricolor Cavalier that came into rescue as an owner surrender and through no fault of her own. She is looking for her forever home to live out the rest of her golden years.

Aliyah is a snuggle bug and is most comfortable when she is in the same room as her foster mom. She is friendly to all new people and dogs. She is great with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs. Aliyah lived with two Cavalier brothers previously and she quickly fit in with her foster Cavalier brothers. She would do well in a home with other dogs or as a solo pup.

Aliyah weighs 18-pounds and is in excellent health for her age. She has a healthy heart and her senior bloodwork came back perfectly normal. Her vaccines are up to date and she will be receiving dental care before going to her forever home. She takes a daily pro/pre-biotic supplement to support her digestive system.

Aliyah is a mature, calm dog but she also likes to play with kids and chase toys. She rarely barks except to signal when she wants to go outside to the bathroom. She walks well on a leash, does not require long walks, and stays close to her people at all times.

Although she does need to go outside to do her business approximately every four hours during the day, she sleeps through the night without needing a bathroom break. Aliyah would do best with someone who can be with her during the day.

If you are looking for a wonderful companion who loves to relax, snuggle, and be close to you, Aliyah would be the perfect match!

To adopt Aliyah, please submit an online application and contact Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com to indicate your interest. Thank you for opening your heart and home to Aliyah!

Athena in Northridge, CA

Here is Athena with her new family…

Meet Athena, a Tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a beautiful, luscious, thick and wavy coat. This pup was born 10/03/2020 and so she just turned 4. This darling girl found her way to rescue when her former owner sadly was facing a terminal illness and she was facing not being able to provide the care and companionship Athena needed.

Athena’s foster family gained her confidence and is ready to relay what you should know about this charming young lady to consider if this is the girl to join your family.

Athena loves giving kisses and is very social with people and friendly to dogs unless the unknown dog is overbearing, in which case she will submit or look away to avoid conflict. In her foster home, Athena is a happy-go-lucky dog. She enjoys her daily walks and also relishes relaxing close to her humans. She prefers the cozy cool spot at the bottom of the stairs where she chooses to take her naps in her foster home.

Athena is healthy and heart clear. The Vet says she is a little overweight at 20 lbs but otherwise in good health. She is microchipped and current on core vaccinations. Her foster mom is working on a diet and exercise plan to help her lose a couple of pounds to reach an ideal weight. To manage occasional regurgitation, which occurs sometimes after she eats or drinks too quickly, she eats small meals throughout the day. A slow feeding bowl may help slow her down a bit at meal time.

Athena is ready to find her forever family. She will be a faithful companion in a short time once you have gained her trust and she will give you her heart for your loyalty and love in return. Athena will need someone home most of the day and a fenced yard. Kind and gentle children would be fine for her. She is a sweet and loving pup.

Please let us know you would like to be considered to adopt by completing an online application if you have not yet done so. Then send an email with a note of your interest for Athena to Donna at d_beirne@yahoo.com. Applicants should be within a comfortable driving distance for a meet and greet in Northridge.

Caspian and Emma in Sacramento, CA

Caspian and Emma are an adorable, bonded duo. They are house trained, affectionate, loyal and full of love to give to some lucky person or family.

Caspian is a handsome black and tan, with huge brown eyes, and a silky black coat. He is 6.5 years old. He is a sweet sensitive soul, affectionate and calm. He wants to sit by your side and be petted and loved. Caspian has a grade 5 heart murmur that requires daily medication (Vetmedin). He is otherwise healthy.

Emma, is a beautiful tricolor with big brown eyes and the typical white, black and brown markings. She is 5.5 years old and in excellent health. She is loving, confident and playful. She is more confident than Caspian. She is also a lap dog and will sit next to you or on your lap as long as you will let her.

Both dogs are the true definition of lap dogs. They will sit with you and look at you with their big brown eyes, with love and admiration.

Caspian and Emma are both around 17 pounds. This pair came to our rescue with a sad back ground. They were a back yard breeder’s dogs, kept outside in a kennel with 6 other dogs. They had not seen a vet in over two years. They arrived flea ridden, with worms, ear infections, bad teeth and missing half of their hair. Caspian was neutered but Emma was not spayed.

But that life is far behind them now. Our rescue vet has addressed all of their health issues. They had a much-needed dental cleaning, were treated for worms and fleas and their vaccines were updated. Emma was spayed. They have absolutely blossomed in their foster home, quickly learning to be the beloved companions that cavaliers are supposed to be.

They are happy, sweet, devoted and ready for their new loving home. They will do best in a quiet, adult-only home where someone is home most of the time to provide the love and attention they deserve.

If you are interested in adopting Caspian and Emma and live within a reasonable drive of their foster home, please complete the on-line application and send an email to our Northern California Coordinator Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com and let her know you are interested in Caspian and Emma.

Amelia in Plymouth, MA

Meet Amelia! Amelia is a female tricolor Cavalier who is the epitome of joy.

She came to rescue from a breeding facility and is said to be around 6-8 years old. (She presents as more on the lower end of the age scale.)

Amelia is very sweet! She is a cuddle bug who loves to get belly rubs. She is not shy with her people, and will happily run up for snuggles. She is great with both kids and other dogs, but hasn’t been tested with cats.

Amelia loves to be outside. She enjoys a run and will also go for walks. A home with a secure fence is preferred for her, as she did not have the opportunity to run freely and explore in her past life.

She has done extremely well with house training, having had only one accident during her stay at her foster home.

Amelia likes having another Cavalier, or another breed of dog of similar size and temperament, in the household. Amelia loves having her people home. She would thrive in a household where someone is at home most of the day.

Amelia has been fully vetted and is up to date on her immunizations and preventatives. She does have a grade 4 heart murmur and is now on medication. She will require yearly echocardiograms to manage this condition. The vet did not feel she needed a dental cleaning at this time. (Her teeth should be re-checked in 6-12 months.)

Amelia is scheduled to be spayed on October 21st, and will be ready to go to her forever home once recovered.

Amelia is a truly special girl who will bring love and joy wherever she goes. She is happy, loving and devoted. If you would like this adorable girl to be a part of your family, and are within a reasonable drive of Plymouth, MA, please fill out our online application. Then email Barbara Blanchette at blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Amelia.Online Application
