Petunia is a tiny girl with a big heart! This beautiful 1-year-old Blenheim girl weighs just 10 pounds and is as sweet as can be. She was surrendered by her breeder due to dental issues, which have since been addressed. Despite having undergone two dental surgeries and multiple extractions, Petunia is doing wonderfully and eats just fine. She has 16 teeth remaining and enjoys softer food, such as Freshpet.

Petunia is a little Velcro puppy who bonds quickly and loves her person wholeheartedly. She is happiest curled up in a lap, soaking up all the cuddles and attention she can get. She is a calm, low-energy girl who would be perfectly content spending the day by your side.

Because of her past environment, Petunia is extremely timid and skittish, especially around new people and unfamiliar situations. The good news is that she has made HUGE strides in her foster home! She is friendly but cautious and will need a patient, understanding family willing to give her the time and encouragement she needs to continue building confidence.

She currently enjoys playing in a fenced yard with her two foster dog friends and gets along well with other dogs. Having canine companions would be a wonderful bonus! We do not have cats in her foster home, so her compatibility with cats is unknown.

Petunia is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night. She also stays in her crate when her foster family leaves the house, although she would much rather be with her favorite person. She does well with house training when taken outside every few hours and does not potty in her crate.

One important thing to know: Petunia is not comfortable walking on a leash and will not walk on one at this time. A securely fenced yard is an absolute must for her.

Petunia’s Ideal Home

Petunia would do best in a quiet, calm home with someone who is home most of the time. A single person or couple would be ideal. A home with small children would not be recommended due to her timid nature. She needs a family who understands that confidence takes time, will celebrate her little victories, and will allow her to blossom at her own pace. In return, you will have a devoted little companion who wants nothing more than to love you and be loved.

Petunia may be tiny, but she is mighty! With patience, understanding, and lots of cuddles, this special girl has so much love to give.

Could Petunia be your new best friend?

Hello, Misty here (aka Thumper-I have a happy tail)! I’m a beautiful, five-year-old lovebug. I came here as a breeder release, so I can be shy when I first meet people. I really love my foster mom and like to be by her. My foster dad will do in a pinch. Once I warmed up to my new foster home I learned that belly rubs, soft pets and cuddles were some of my favorite things. Treats! Those are the best too so I hope my new home has them!  

I know children are cute, but I’m leery of them. I still get jumpy from sudden movements, even with adults that I trust.  

I love to be outside. Zoomies and rolling in the grass are my jam! I am learning how to walk on a leash and doing pretty good. My foster siblings really like to do that, so my foster mom is starting to teach me how. It would be best if my furever home had a fence. 

I love toys of all types.  I think it’s a fun game to take one toy out of the toy bucket, run out through the doggie door with it, and drop it in the yard. My foster mom likes to play this game too; I know that because she puts all the toys back in the bucket for me to drag out again.  

I like other dogs and would love a sibling but if I am the only pup that is okay too. I just ignore the crabby, old cat that lives here so if you had a cat I would be ok sharing my living space.  

At night, I sleep with my best buddy Millie (another girl available to be adopted) in a large, cozy pen. We are tidy and never potty in there, and we sleep through the night. I would love to sleep in that big bed with humans given a chance. During the day, I need to go outside on a regular schedule. Sometimes I forget and have an accident in the house. I am still learning. 

I have been to the vet and am current on all my vaccinations, heartworm, flea and tick preventatives and spayed. I have had an echocardiogram and have a grade II heart murmur, stage B1, but don’t need any medications currently.  

My foster mom says I am so sweet and lovable, and I just need time to feel safe. I would love to live with your family if you are home most of the day and have a quiet home (children 16+ years old because kids are just not for me), and a fenced yard. Another dog would be a plus.

Meet Tucker! This 10-year-old Cavalier born 09/04/2016 is one spunky guy! You would not guess he was 10 with his energy level. Want a walking companion? Tucker is ready to go! He can easily keep up and walk with his owner.

When it comes to small critters, hunting instincts are strong with this guy. He is great with other dogs, but cats, goldfish, alligators, bears, snakes, or literally anything else that moves are a hard NO to co-exist with Tucker. Because of that chase drive, he requires a securely fenced yard. Tucker loves to chase butterflies and squirrels in the back yard hoping to catch one to introduce himself. Then after a hard adventure play, his battery runs out, and he is out completely cold doing what a Cavalier does best, nap and snore.

Tucker is fully house trained and crate trained with a simple “load up” command, though if given the choice, he strongly prefers claiming a spot on the couch or curling up right next to his humans in bed.

He also has a hilarious, quirky side: Tucker likes to zone in and is extremely curious. Once something catches his eye and piques his curiosity, he can’t be distracted until his new interest submits to him. A Shark vacuum recently got to know Tucker very well.

A couple of things to know about Tucker: He is VERY food-motivated. He’s not deaf, but he is an absolute master at acting like he is when it suits him. It usually takes him a couple of weeks to learn his new human’s voice and start paying attention to commands, so patience during the transition is key.

Health-wise, Tucker has had a thorough senior wellness checkup, complete bloodwork, eye tests, and is up to date on vaccines including heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. He recently had a dental with a few extractions and the remaining teeth were shined up nicely.

If you are looking for an adventurous, spunky, and loving companion (and don’t mind a little extra personality), Tucker is your guy!

Morgan is a beautiful Blenheim Cavalier lady who is 6 years young and ready to enjoy her next chapter as a beloved family companion! After spending her earlier years being a mama, this retired breeding mama is ready to be spoiled, cherished, and shown all the comforts of being someone’s special girl.

Morgan has a sweet, quiet demeanor and is a laid-back kind of lady. She enjoys the simple things in life, especially her stuffies, a cozy place to relax, and a good meal (she’s a great eater!). She is fostered with another cavalier who is a nice companion for her.  He is available too if interested in adopting both. 

She’s accustomed to sleeping in a crate at night, but we have a feeling she’d be absolutely delighted to upgrade to a spot in her human’s bed! After all, every girl deserves a little extra pampering.

A fenced backyard would be ideal for Morgan. She’s not particularly fond of walking on a leash, so a traditional leash walk isn’t going to be part of her daily routine. Her future family should be prepared to take her outside for potty breaks in a secure, fenced area rather than relying on walks. She will need someone willing to accompany her outdoors, give her time to do her business, and make sure she is safely supervised before coming back inside. A little patience and consistency will help her settle into her new routine.

Morgan is ready to trade her mama duties for a life filled with soft beds, favorite stuffies, full food bowls, and humans who adore her. She will require patience as she takes a little time to warm up to her new family. She prefers to be the side kick of a lady but men in the home will be tolerated. They just will be ignored most of the time. 

She will be happiest with someone home much of the day but is okay to be left alone for short time. Morgan would be also be fine with a quiet dog buddy. She is currently fostered with another Cavalier who could be adopted with Morgan as they get along wonderfully. Morgan is okay with children but calm, older would be best as to not startle her. 

Morgan has been spayed, dental done with a few extractions, and a recent echo where the vet indicated her murmur was so quiet he could barely hear it. No medicine needed at this time. She is current on her heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.

If you’re looking for a gentle, quiet companion who would love a peaceful home and a little extra spoiling, Morgan may just be your girl! Please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Gail Jansen at cavalierrescueusawimn@gmail.com so she knows of your interest in adopting Morgan.
