Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Phoebe and Pearl in Logansport, IN

Phoebe and Pearl are a bonded pair. Phoebe is an 11-year-old Blenheim, and Pearl is a 10-year-old and black and white. Both girls were in rough shape when they came into rescue, but they are now thriving in their foster home. They have wonderful, sweet personalities. They are a relaxed and affectionate pair who just want a comfortable and loving home for the rest of their days.

Both girls spend most of their time napping in their favorite spots. Phoebe absolutely loves sleeping on the back of the couch, especially if she can rest against someone’s shoulders. Pearl prefers sleeping on the couch next to other dogs. Both enjoy spending time with their foster family’s other Cavaliers. Neither of the girls are particularly active or enjoy playing with toys, but they will quite happily cuddle and enjoy a few treats.

Phoebe and Pearl have both had some health challenges. Both were significantly underweight when they came into rescue, but they have now made it to a much healthier weight. Also, both girls have grade 2 mitral valve disease. Neither need heart medication at this time, but they will need to visit the cardiologist every six to nine months to check for progression.

They are up to date with their vaccinations, and they take a monthly flea and heartworm preventative. Phoebe had a dental and lost several teeth. Pearl does not have any teeth.

Pearl has diabetes insipidus. This is not the usual type of diabetes that causes issues with blood sugar. Instead, with diabetes insipidus, the body does not produce a hormone needed to regulate the retention of water, and it causes excessive drinking and urination. Pearl is now being treated for her diabetes insipidus, and her drinking and urination have improved significantly. She will have to take medication (eye drops) for this condition for the rest of her life. This medication costs approximately $45 a month.

Additionally, Pearl has a broken jaw. The veterinarian believes her jaw has been broken for many years, and, at this point, it does not bother her or require treatment. She is able to eat without a problem. Pearl also hears very little.

Both girls are still working on housetraining. Now that Pearl is being treated for diabetes insipidus, she is doing much better. While her excessive urination has drastically improved, she still needs to go out more often than average.

When they first arrived, Phoebe did not like walking on grass, but, with encouragement, she has been doing better with going into the backyard. Unlike Phoebe, Pearl enjoys walking around the yard at her own pace, so a fenced yard will be important for her. Their new family will have to be able to take them out regularly and continue their housetraining.

Both girls love being with people and other dogs. They will happily follow you around the house or relax near you. Phoebe has some mild separation anxiety and does not like be separated from Pearl or her human. However, they are fine when home alone for a few hours.

Phoebe and Pearl are wonderful girls who are sweet, affectionate, and laid-back. They have a lot of love to give, and they deserve a fabulous home for the rest of their lives. They would enjoy a home with someone there most of the time, with other small, friendly dogs, and with a safely fenced yard.

Charlotte in North Ridgeville, OH

Update 10-13-25: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Hi, ya’ll. My name is Charlotte and I am a Blenheim Cavalier, born on December 1, 2023 so I’m just under 2 years old. My foster mom says I remind her of a Southern belle … sweet and a little sassy! I weigh a dainty 10 pounds but I pack a huge personality in those itty bitty pounds. I was surrendered by a backyard breeder, although I have never had a litter.

I am up to date on my shots, am spayed and chipped and have had my dental work done with no extractions needed. I love to play with toys, run around with my foster siblings and most of all sit on my foster parents’ laps. I’m just learning to go for walks on a leash. So far my foster dad has remained standing up but I work hard at wrapping the leash around his legs! What fun!

I have a favorite Teddy Bear that I carry everywhere with me. I would love to be in a forever home with another dog around my size. Right now I have a Mastiff foster brother who slightly intimidates me so I give him my fiercest growl if he gets too close to my bear. Otherwise I am very friendly with everyone.

I am house trained but need to be taken out on a regular basis, although my foster dad is teaching me to use the dog door. On occasion I will signal by using my best soprano singing voice.I will sleep in a crate but would love to share your comfy bed, and at 10 lbs I hardly take up any room.

I don’t remember being around children and there are none in my foster home. I came from a home where I shared a communal food bowl but I now have my own and eat really well in my crate where I don’t have to compete for food. I really need a home where people are there most of the time as I do have some separation anxiety.

If you think you’d enjoy having me grace your home please complete an online application if you haven’t done so already then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know you are interested. I hope to hear from you real soon!

Emma in North Ridgeville, OH

Update 10-13-25: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

How do you do? I am very glad to meet you. My name is Emma and I am a Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have what looks like spectacles around my eyes and an adorable Blenheim spot right at the top of my head. My foster mom says I’m lovely and unique. I was born on November 2, 2023 so I am almost 2 years old. I was surrendered by a backyard breeder but have not had a litter.

I weigh a svelte 16 pounds so I am just perfect for snuggling on your lap or in your bed. I am crate trained and have never had an accident in my foster home. I am up to date on shots, spayed and have had my dental work done with no extractions needed. I passed my health exam with flying colors.

At present I am sharing my foster home with 3 other Cavaliers and a Mastiff. We all have great fun together. I especially like running in the fenced back yard and love to root around in the toy box filled with plush toys. Although I like my foster siblings I would be happiest in a single dog home where I won’t have to compete for treats or attention as I am intimidated at times. Also, I suffer from separation anxiety so I would appreciate being with someone who is home most of the time. As I am well-behaved, I would also be the perfect companion to take to work with you if that is possible.

If it sounds like we might be soul mates, please complete our online application if you haven’t done so already then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know you are interested.

Spaghetti in Ypsilanti, MI

Here is the pup with his new family…

Are you ready for an outgoing, happy, tricolor boy? Spaghetti (we’ve been calling him Frankie) is a playful, funny, 3-year-old commercial breeder release who is ready to be loved and give love.

Frankie spends the day sitting near his foster mom (who works from home) and hanging out with the other Cavaliers in his foster home. He enjoys playing fetch and exploring in the fenced yard at his foster home and going on walks in the neighborhood. But Frankie’s absolute most favorite thing in the world to do is snuggle. If he could somehow figure out a way to crawl into his people’s skin through their belly button he would. He wants to be THAT close to his people.

This handsome fellow (he’s mostly black with huge bushy brown eyebrows) is still very much a puppy, if not in age, in learning. Frankie likes to chew on things he shouldn’t and is still working on his potty training as well as leash walking. He does well on the leash, but gets distracted easily. He has been wearing a belly band in the house just in case the urge to lift his leg may happen. He was recently neutered, so we are hoping the urge to potty inside subsides. Frankie does have an iron bladder and can easily hold it all night long. His fur-ever family will need to take him outdoors often during the day to improve his house manners.

Frankie would benefit from some basic training classes, not because he is poorly behaved but because he has the potential to become a great family dog with some positive guidance. He does like to sleep in the big bed with his foster family but has no issues being crated when his foster family is out and about.

He gets along great with his 2 Cavalier foster siblings as well as the cats in his foster home. He would do well in a home with another young, small dog or as a single dog. He is generally a happy-go-lucky fella. He recently went on a Cavalier meet-up and did well meeting new people and new Cavaliers.

Frankie is up-to-date on his vaccinations, has been microchipped and neutered.

If you are home most of the day to work with Frankie on his house manners and live within a reasonable driving distance of the foster home, please fill out the online adoption application if you haven’t already and then contact June at (June.cavaliers@gmail.com) to let us know of your interest in this wonderful bundle of personality.

Bailey in Overland Park, KS

Bailey is a very sweet 5 year old black & tan girl looking for her forever home. She was born Jan 18, 2020. Her previous owners were facing health issues, so they made the difficult decision to release Bailey to Cavalier Rescue USA. We were told that she had back problems and that stairs were difficult for her. They believe that she may have been hit by a car before they got her.

Our vet examined her and x-rayed her back, which showed evidence of a previous spinal injury. Bailey had not been to the vet in over two years – she badly needed a dental, and she was not current on vaccines. She had the dental cleaning and lost several teeth. Our vet recommended anti-inflammatory meds to manage periodic back pain, and she doesn’t appear to be having discomfort since starting the medication. Bailey’s heart is good (no cardiac murmur), and her knees checked out fine (normal patella). She’s totally housebroken, spayed, micro-chipped, up to date on vaccinations, recovered from her dental, and is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative.

Bailey is an absolute sweetheart – very loving and affectionate. During the first few days in foster care, she was emotional and showed extreme separation anxiety. When foster mom left the house, even for a short period, Bailey would bark loudly and whine and cry. She likes foster dad, but foster mom is her favorite person and primary caregiver. The vet prescribed Trazadone to calm her, and it helped. Now that Bailey has been in foster care a little while, she’s having much less anxiety and only needs those meds occasionally. She will do best in a home where she would not be left alone for long periods.

Bailey likes that foster mom works from home, because she always wants to be near her main person. But really, she likes everyone – other dogs, cats, adults and children. Because of her previous back injury, care should be taken when lifting her. Therefore, we do not recommend a home with young children or toddlers who may not understand that they should not try to pick her up. She does fine with a few steps off the back deck, and she knows how to use doggie steps to get up on the couch. Much of the day, you’ll find her napping on the couch, and she sleeps through the night in foster parents’ bedroom.

She loves her foster family – mom, dad, daughter, small dog, and two cats. She enjoys playtime with the other dog and the cats. Foster mom takes the dogs on a walk, and Bailey doesn’t pull at all. When foster mom takes her daughter to school, Bailey likes to ride along. She gets excited to go in the car and is an excellent passenger. She goes straight to and from the car without being asked – like it’s her duty to make sure the daughter gets to and from school each day. Bailey loves to be included in family routines, and we believe she will be a devoted member of her forever family.

Bailey is being fostered in Overland Park, KS. Her ideal forever home would be one with a fenced yard and someone home most of the day. Another dog in the house would be great, and she is fine with cats. Older children who know how to be gentle are fine.

If you can provide Bailey with a loving home and you think you might be the right person or family for her, 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.

Kingston in Rogersville, MO

Here is Kingston with his new mom…

Meet Kingston! Kingston is a sweet-natured, 3-year-old Cavalier, born 1-23-22. He is a healthy boy who came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a commercial breeder. When Kingston first arrived at his foster home, he would not come out of his crate. He was timid, shy, and uncomfortable around people. However, since living with his foster mom and Cavalier housemate, he has made significant progress in overcoming his skittishness and fears. In just a few short weeks, Kingston progressed from hiding in his crate to following his foster mom around the house and accepting treats from her hand!

Kingston quickly discovered squeak toys, and he loves them. He will come running and barking to play whenever a toy is squeaked. He enjoys grabbing the toy and playing tug-of-war. If you toss the toy, Kingston chases after it and brings it back to his safe place. Sometimes, Kingston will sneak toys from the toy box and pile them on his blanket. His foster mom has found a collection of toys in his bed! Kingston never guards or protects the toys and will let his foster mom take any toy he has gathered.

Kingston gets along well with his Cavalier housemates and enjoys playing with them, running around the yard, and snuggling together on a blanket. While outside, Kingston will come when his foster mom calls him. However, he remains cautious around people, and when approached, Kingston will shy away–unless you have a treat in your hand.

When Kingston is in his safe place, he will allow his foster mom to pick him up. He does enjoy sitting on the couch with her and will put his head in her lap while she pets him. Snuggling is new for Kingston, and he is doing well with being close to his foster mom.

Kingston has a great appetite and enjoys chewing on bones, especially those with peanut butter on them. Kingston is generally quiet. However, he does bark at the door and strangers, or when he is outside, at the chickens!

Kingston knows his name, he walks politely on a leash, and enjoys going outside for a stroll, especially if his Cavalier housemate is with him. Kingston is ready to begin learning basic obedience commands such as sit, down, and stay. He sleeps in a crate at night, keeps his crate clean, and will signal by pawing if he needs to go outside to potty.

During the day, Kingston does very well on scheduled potty breaks. He had a few accidents in the house when he initially arrived. However, now that he has adjusted to the household routines, he is reliable. Potty breaks should be every three to four hours to ensure Kingston remains accident-free.

Kingston has no ongoing health matters and no heart-related issues. When Kingston first came to foster care, he had significant gingivitis and dental disease. Subsequently, Kingston had a dental cleaning and a few teeth removed. Since the procedure, Kingston has good dental health and can chew his food and treats without pain. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Since his first days in foster care, Kingston has overcome his initial fears. Kingston takes treats and licks cheese or peanut butter from his foster mom’s fingers. He plays with his Cavalier housemates, enjoys walks, and chews on bones. Kingston is generally a calm, yet playful boy. He is gentle, sweet-natured, and does jump on people, or cause mischief. Kingston potties outside, and he is reliable on a schedule.

Although Kingston has improved, he remains cautious around people, avoids physical contact, and is not a snuggler. He has not shown any aggression or possessiveness while in his foster home. He is an intelligent boy who learns quickly and has a strong food drive, which makes adjusting to his forever home easier. Time and patience are essential to Kingston’s progress and future success, particularly in interacting with people and embracing new experiences.

Kingston will make an ideal companion for individuals and couples with the time and patience to work with Kingston on his people skills, home manners, and basic obedience. He will do best in a home with established routines and another easy-going, mature dog.

Please fill out our online application if you can provide Kingston with a loving, forever home. If you haven’t already, email cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Kingston.
