Modelo in Olathe, KS

Modelo is a handsome 2-year old Ruby boy who was born Aug 12, 2024. Modelo has a happy, energetic personality. His previous owner, an active-duty service member, received deployment orders and could not take him along. She contacted Cavalier Rescue USA because she trusted us to find a great home for him. Modelo was intact when he came to Rescue, and he has recently had neuter surgery.

His previous owner was gone a lot, and Modelo was kenneled often. This situation was not ideal as Modelo is young and has lots of energy to burn. We are looking for a home with someone who is happy to spend lots of time with him, work with him, and play with him. He would also benefit from basic obedience classes, which will help him focus and form a strong bond with his new owner.

He has settled in quickly with his foster family, and he really is a good boy. He loves being petted and he likes giving kisses, too. He follows his foster mom around the house. When she sits down, he’ll get in her lap. He is definitely a Velcro dog. We think he will quickly attach himself to his new forever family.

Modelo gets along with the foster family’s dogs, though he has not been tested around cats. During mealtimes, he prefers eating in his kennel, separated from the other dogs. Modelo will do well with another canine companion, but he’ll also be fine as an only pet where he could receive all the love and attention.

He likes dog toys, but he will remove the stuffing and squeakers – so we recommend tough indestructible doggie toys with supervised playtime. Recently, he has been playing with a squeaky ball. Most of all, Modelo just loves human affection and interaction.

He was mostly housebroken when he came to us, though he likes to mark outdoors (he has not marked indoors). However, since being neutered, the marking behavior has calmed down and he’s showing improvement with that. Foster parents have been keeping him on a regular schedule, and he goes outside to do his business with the other dogs.

Modelo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and is on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. He weighs 20 pounds.

Foster mom likes to go on walks, and Modelo enjoys going with her. He really likes this activity, though he tends to pull on the leash. He thinks that going on walks is exciting and he wants to investigate everything. He loves meeting new people and does so with much enthusiasm. Because of his overzealous nature, he will often jump on people when he greets them. He’s just so excited and wants to say hi. Modelo is very smart and likes to learn new things, and these behaviors can be corrected with simple training.

This pup is a super friendly boy with so much love to give. He is outgoing and still very puppy-like, and we would love to place him with a family who appreciates his youthful energy. He likes everyone he meets (kids, adults, other dogs), and he will make a great family pet.

Modelo is being fostered in Olathe, KS. An ideal family for him will have a fenced yard and someone home most of the day. If you can provide Modelo with a loving home and you think you might be a good match for him, please fill out our online application (if you have not done so already) and then contact Deborah Barnes at deborah@smarnes.com to let her know of your interest. Applicants who live within a reasonable driving distance of the metro Kansas City area will be considered.

Piper in Riverwoods, IL

My name is Piper and I am a sweet and lovable female Tricolor Cavapoo puppy looking for her forever home! I am 4 months old (my birthday is 5-27-2026) and currently weigh 6 pounds. I was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by a breeder who wanted to make sure I find the best forever home. I’m a bouncy little puppy who hops around like a bunny and thinks life is one big game. I may only be 4 months old, but trust me — I already know what I want, and I’m not shy about telling you. I’ve got a cute, sassy streak that keeps everyone laughing, and I learn things fast because I’m smart, curious, and always paying attention.

I already know how to sit, ask for treats, and I’m very polite about waiting for my food to be served. I sleep in my crate at night and I don’t mind when I am in there when my foster family is not home for a few hours. Housetraining is still in progress; I go days without any accidents, but then, oops! Hey…I’m a puppy after all! I’m doing all the normal puppy things like chewing, exploring, and keeping you on your toes. My forever family will need to have patience and be committed to continuing my training since I am still young and puppies require a lot of work.

I love to play both with my human foster parents and my two human foster brothers who are 13 and 10 years old. I enjoy gentle children, but since I’m so small and likely will remain fairly small, I would be best with respectful, dog-savvy children ages 8+ who are going to be careful with me. I also have a 4-year-old Cavalier foster brother who I enjoy hanging out with and who has taught me some manners. I have a great appetite and I’m gaining weight as I should. When I went to the vet, I was told I have a perfect heart and excellent knees (no luxating patellas). I’m up to date on my core vaccines, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives and I was treated for giardia while in rescue. Nothing slows me down — I’m too busy bouncing, learning, and being adorable.

I get along with other dogs, but I’m still young and figuring out social rules. I’m sweet, but a little unpredictable, so I’ll do best with dogs who can put me in my place gently and help me learn good manners. I’m confident, bold, and full of personality, so having a dog who can guide me will help me grow into the best version of myself. I have learned to walk on a leash with a harness and enjoy going for walks around my foster family’s neighborhood. I also enjoy car rides and am a great traveler!

If you’re looking for a puppy who’s playful, clever, cuddly, and full of sass, I’m your girl! I’m easy to train, eager to learn, and ready to bounce my way right into your heart.

If you meet all of Piper’s requirements, live within reasonable driving distance of Riverwoods, Illinois and feel she would thrive in your home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and send an email to Carrie Thiergart at cavalierrescuecarrie@yahoo.com to let her know that you are interested at being considered.

Howie in Anna, IL

Here is Howie with his new family…

Howie is just about the sweetest Cavalier you will ever meet. He was born around 4-1-2017 which makes him 9-years-old. He came to Cavalier Rescue USA after a long life of being a breeding dog. Howie is such a gentle soul with an abundance of love that he’s ready to share with everyone two and four legged. He is very easy going and curious and wants nothing more than to be loved and near his people. He loves all of the pups at his foster and follows his foster mom everywhere she goes making sure he doesn’t miss out on a pat on the head or a kiss on the muzzle or a treat.

Howie loves his blanket he received from the rescue volunteer who picked him up from the breeder and likes to carry it to his resting spots and snuggle with it in his bed at night. He has been very quickly learning how to be a loving pet by watching the other dogs in the house where he has proved to be very intelligent. He learned how to navigate stairs within a few days and how to use the doggie door very early by following the other pups around. He absolutely loves running around the fully fenced backyard and watching the bunnies run around on the other side of the fence. He thrives in a peaceful home where he can feel safe and loved.

Howie hasn’t been tested with children but his easy- going personality would best be suited with older children who are not rambunctious as he does follow his people around closely. His ideal home would be with someone home most of the time and who has another easy- going dog he can continue to learn from and keep company with. He will need a fully fenced backyard where he can explore and watch all the new things he hasn’t experienced before. He would be so happy with a family who will provide plenty of love, companionship and provide him with a comfortable place to nap with his blanket.

Since being in foster care, Howie has been neutered, microchipped and had a dental where he only lost 4 teeth. He’s had all of his vaccinations and is up to date on his heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. He has a grade 3 heart murmur and has started taking Pimobendan and Enalapril which will need to continue daily for the rest of his life. He has some arthritis in his back knees that require a low dose of gabapentin daily and he has dry eye in the left eye that requires eye drops twice a day. He currently weighs 18lbs but is working on gaining weight and would be best at 23 lbs.

He is doing well with house training and has not had any accidents in his foster home. He does wear a belly band when left unattended for peace of mind. He hasn’t started leash training yet but should be easy to train since he only wants to be near his people.

Howie has just been adopted to a loving family and so we aren’t taking applications for him.

Lexi in Plymouth, MI

A Loyal sweetheart!

Meet loyal Lexi, a sweetheart of an 8-year-old female Cavalier who came into rescue when the toddler in her young human family developed a pet allergy. Lexi is a 17 lb. fit-and-trim tricolor female. Although loyal to her people, Lexi is a little reserved when first meeting new people. But her shyness only lasts a few minutes. In short order, she is trying to snuggle into your lap for lots of attention.

Lexi is thriving in her calm foster home where there is a regular routine and three full-time Cavaliers. She follows her foster mom everywhere she goes and has a tendency to get under foot. While her foster mom works at her desk (she works from home), Lexi finds a comfy chair or dog bed to settle into. At night while watching tv, Lexi claims the top of the couch as her throne so she can be close to her foster mom.

When there is a lot of activity and visitors in the foster home, Lexi will find a quiet corner to hang out in. This summer she really enjoyed hanging out on the patio— taking in the summer breeze. But be careful, Lexi has proven to be a talented escape artist while in foster care. So, her fur-ever home must have a secure fence. She gets very excited when she sees her leash, signaling it’s time for a walk!

Lexi sleeps in a crate next to the people bed and is gated in the kitchen when her foster mom runs errands. She does have some separation anxiety, so she will benefit from being in a home with another small dog around to keep her company. Lexi is very reliable with her house manners, no accidents in the foster home. Although usually very quiet and calm, Lexi is one of the first dogs to alert her humans with a few barks when she hears and unfamiliar noise.

Lexi just got her teeth cleaned. She is at a good weight for her petite frame. Her fur-ever family should limit treats so she can remain at this target weight. She is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She has a herniated umbilical which can be felt on her belly. This doesn’t bother her, so the vet is recommending no treatment at this time. No heart issues were detected.

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 loyal little Lexi. We will only consider applicants that are home during the day and live within a reasonable driving distance to the foster home.
