Stella in Noblesville, IN

Meet Stella, an incredibly sweet 3 year old Blenheim Cavalier born November 11, 2022. Stella came to Cavalier Rescue USA due to a family member’s health issue. She was well taken care of and very much cherished. Stella is a true love bug and if you’re sitting down she’s right there on your lap. She adores people and will greet visitors at her foster home with a full body wiggle often holding a favorite stuffed toy in her mouth. Stella hasn’t seen a bowl of food she doesn’t like so she could loose a few pounds! She even enjoys the taste of her toothpaste and sits willingly for her teeth to be brushed. She’s very calm when getting a bath and has a beautiful soft, silky coat.

When first greeting the two Cavaliers in her foster home, Stella grumbled a little and barked but quickly settled in with the pack. She enjoys the companionship of the foster’s pups when home alone and does well gated in the laundry room with them. She is completely house trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night but would prefer to sleep in bed with her people. Stella gets overwhelmed when seeing strange dogs out in public and will bark. She would benefit from formal training geared towards socialization. She does well with dogs with whom she is familiar.

Stella received a clean bill of health at her vet visit and was brought up to date on vaccinations. She is microchipped. She has lived with kids and if there are children in the family, she would do best if they are older. She will probably thrive in a calm home with someone around most of the day, a fenced yard and another friendly pup for companionship. She has not been tested with cats. She would do well with a retiree who wants a sweet lap dog and who doesn’t need to take her to public places.

Stella is such a delightful, sweet girl and her new family will be lucky to have her. If you feel you would be her perfect family please read process and FAQ’s on the website. We will accept applications within maximum driving distance of 3-4 hours.

Eli in Rogersville, MO

Meet Eli, a sweet-natured, energetic, and playful boy who came to Cavalier Rescue USA through a Good Samaritan. He is a healthy eight-month-old puppy. When Eli first came to his foster home, he preferred to stay in his crate, did not know how to eat from a bowl, and was overwhelmed by his new environment. He was skittish, shy, and stiff when held or touched.

Since his first days in foster care, Eli has blossomed. He overcame his initial fears and learned to eat from a bowl. Eli gently takes treats and licks cheese from his foster mom’s hand. He plays with his Cavalier housemates, enjoys fuzzy toys and chewing on bones!

On occasion, Eli’s foster mom would notice a sock in the middle of the floor.  She did not know how it got there. Finally, she caught Eli in the act of carrying a sock out of the bedroom. Eli doesn’t chew the socks. He just likes to carry them and leave them in odd places around the house.

Eli loves to jump on the couch and snuggle up close to his foster mom. He enjoys being petted, snoozing in her lap, or chewing on a bone tucked up close under her arm.

Eli is an active boy who will follow his foster mom around the house. He will come when called. He is learning to walk on a leash and needs training for basic commands such as sit and down. Eli sleeps all night in his crate and keeps it clean. He does very well on scheduled potty breaks and has had only a few accidents since coming to his foster home.

Although Eli has significantly improved, he remains cautious with people and is reluctant to approach. Given a minute to muster up his courage, Eli finds his way to your hand for a much wanted ear scratch, petting, and loving. Changes in his environment can cause Eli to become leery or scurry away. He notices even minor changes and needs a little time to process them.

He is an intelligent young boy, who approaches the world reluctantly and will back up to create distance with unfamiliar people or things. Once bonded with someone, however, he wants all the loving, snuggling, and petting he can get. Eli has come a long way since he arrived at his foster home and  is a brave boy. Nonetheless, he will need more time than most pups to adapt to his forever home.

Eli will make an ideal companion for a family with the time and patience to work with him 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 to help him navigate his forever home. Eli requires a secure physically fenced yard. If you can provide Eli’s forever home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, and then please email Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com

Georgie in LaCrosse, WI

Meet Georgie, a 6 month old happy-go-lucky Blenheim Cavalier. Georgie is a young, playful puppy who is ready to find his forever home. Georgie loves his people and hanging out with them. He is good with adults, kids and other dogs. He gets along great with his foster siblings, playing chase with them outside. In the house, he is a bit more calm. He has met cats, horses and chickens and has not had much of a reaction to any of them. He will need to be neutered at the appropriate time. He is crate trained, house trained and current on his heartworm, flea and tic medications. He is a healthy boy with no medical issues.

Georgie eats well and loves his treats. So far, he has learned “sit”. He would do well with more training or doggie daycare to help develop his social skills and to challenge him mentally. He does, however, display respect for other dogs. He is learning about toys and bones. He is bursting with the potential to be the perfect family companion. He will do fine either as an only dog or with a pack.

He walks well on the leash with a harness. He is a real “go with the flow” kind of guy and will acclimate easily into a new environment. He does display some typical puppy behaviors but he will settle down once he is neutered. He jumps occasionally and barks. Training will help resolve that. He is a very friendly guy who will outgrow his puppy tendencies and mature into a calm, loving dog. He seems older than his six months and has so much love to share.

Georgie would do best with an active family that has kids. Ideally, he should be in a house with a yard. It would be best if the yard is fenced, but it’s not a requirement. He is a bigger boy, weighing in at 22 pounds. He will thrive with a family that includes him in all their adventures and he will be a loyal companion. The sedentary life is not for Georgie. He is smart and still learning, but promises to be a terrific, easy-going, friendly, happy addition to the right family.

If you think your family would be a good fit for Georgie, please complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then please email Gail Jansen at cavalierrescueusawimn@gmail.com to let her know that you are interested and would like to be considered to be his forever family.

Brody in Kansas City, MO

Update 1-15-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more for now. Thank you!

Brody is a 9 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart of gold. This sweet boy absolutely adores people and is happiest when he’s getting cuddles, following his foster humans around, or romping with his foster brothers. He’s playful, sociable, and always ready for his next adventure.

Brody has classic puppy energy—he loves toys, chews, enjoys outings, trips and long walks, and brings joy wherever he goes. He also has a gentle, affectionate side that makes him incredibly easy to fall in love with. Brody is happy entertaining himself with toys and naps! Despite his young age, he’s already potty trained (on a schedule) and is crate trained. While he may bark for a few minutes after going into his crate, it doesn’t last long and he will sleep through the night.

Brody is a good eater. He loves breakfast and dinner time with treats in between. He does a dance on his hind legs as you approach with his food!

He is still learning to walk properly on a leash, but with his foster brothers and sister as guides, he is on track to being the perfect walking buddy.

While we don’t know too much about Brody’s life before coming to Cavalier Rescue USA, we do know that Brody was found with a breeder who was selling puppies outside of a Walmart. Thankfully, he’s now safe and thriving. He has been neutered, is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines and is current on heartworm prevention and flea and tick prevention. He has a microchip, but his new family will need to make sure it is registered to them. He also has a slight overbite, but this just adds to his cuteness.

Brody has not met any cats (as far as we know) or small children. He gets very excited when meeting new people, so any introductions will need to be supervised. He would do well with a secure, physically fenced in yard as he loves to explore.

He would be a great solo dog or a member of a pack! He would do well with someone who works from home most of the time (as he would be a great office mate, see photo below).

If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, people-loving puppy who will grow into the perfect companion, Brody may be your guy. He’s ready to trade puppyhood uncertainty for a lifetime of love, security, and belly rubs.

If you are interested in providing a forever home to this sweet boy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, and then please email Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Latte in Bagdad, KY

Latte is a 3-year-old tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with an incredible journey. She was born blind, but once she entered rescue, everything changed. Latte received cataract surgery that gave her the gift of sight—and with it came a whole new dog.

Now able to see the world around her, Latte is curious, playful, and eager to explore. She has a sweet Cavalier nature paired with a touch of stubbornness that makes her both charming and entertaining. Watching her confidence grow as she discovers new sights has been truly special.

Latte will need ongoing eye care for the rest of her life, including eye drops (approximately $20 per month) and visits to a veterinary ophthalmologist every six months. She does well with her routine and will thrive with an adopter who is committed to maintaining her medical care.

Her ideal home is a calm, stable one. Latte should not live with cats, and she needs a family where someone is home most of the day to provide companionship and consistency. Latte would benefit from one-on-one training as she is still very puppy-like with her new lease on life. Her house training is in progress; she was house broken before her surgery, but now she is having accidents.

Latte is ready for her forever home—a place where she’ll be loved, supported, and celebrated for the resilient, joyful girl she is. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a remarkable story, Latte may be the one for you.

If you’d like to be considered for Latte’s forever home, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously), then email Kimberly Deman at kimberlyademan@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Leo in Columbus, OH

Here is Leo with his new family…

This handsome little guy is Leo. He is a charming 4 year old Blenheim male who came to Cavalier Rescue USA when his owner was no longer able to care for him.

He is energetic and playful at times,  and calm, snuggly and full of kisses at other times. He is so eager to please that he generally lets you decide the mood. He listens very well, plays nicely, and can entertain himself independently with chew toys. He is quiet and well behaved when his foster mom works from home.

Leo walks very well on a leash, but loves to run fast. Therefore, he would really like a home with a fenced in back yard where he can zoom. He is housebroken, well trained (including reliable recall) but can get very excited by squirrels and other dogs. He was raised as an only pup, but gets along great with his foster mom’s other dogs, both of whom are very relaxed. Before coming to us from a family member’s home,  he was a little overwhelmed by active louder dogs and he is startled by loud noises. A calm, quieter environment is probably best for Leo. He does love to play, however, so older kids would be just great. Leo would do best in a home where someone was home most of the time.

This adorable 20 pound boy is heart-healthy, with luxating patellas in both knees that have not yet required treatment. He has mild seasonal allergies treated with OTC Benadryl.

Please read Our Process and FAQ sections. If your home is a match for Leo, please complete the online application if you haven’t already done so, and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net  Online Application
