Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Princess in Jeffersonville, IN

Meet the playful, sweet Princess, who would love to become the princess of your home. Princess is a tricolor Cavalier who was born on 5/15/2020. She was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by her prior owner who thought she’d be happier in a less chaotic environment.

Shortly after coming to Cavalier Rescue USA, it was discovered Princess has Diabetes. Her foster has been working with the vet to get Princess’s blood sugars more regulated. Princess has been accepting her twice a day shots wonderfully. Her new owner will have to continue to watch her blood sugar and closely monitor what Princess eats. While at the vet, Princess got up to date on her vaccinations, was microchipped, and started on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Since coming to her foster home, Princess has blossomed. She enjoys cuddling and following her foster mom around. She also loves to play with her toys with her foster dad. Princess has been around gentle kids and gets along great with them.

Princess has had zero accidents since she learned her foster home and rings her bell to go outside. Princess does not enjoy being left alone, so a family with someone who is home most of the time would be ideal.

Princess enjoys going on walks, and likes to bark hello at everyone. She would love a fenced backyard to run and play in. She has been interested in fellow dogs on walks, but her foster home does not have any other pets. Her foster mom believes Princess would do well with other dogs. She has not been cat tested.

If you are interested in this loving Cavalier and can provide her the care she needs, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest.

Emily in Lebanon, MO

Here she is with her new family…..

Here’s beautiful Emily, or Emi as she’s affectionately called since she’s a very happy, sweet one year old tricolor girl born 5/1/2024. Emi is rather petite weighing 11 pounds and healthy as can be. Even though she’s a small girl, Emi has a big personality and is a little Houdini. (More about that later) She was a breeder release and has been loving her foster family experience! Emily is smart and gets along really well with both people and her Cavalier foster siblings.

Emi’s favorite thing is running, playing and exploring in her backyard. She is super curious too and looks for ways to to escape to the outside world even though she has no idea where she wants to go! This little Houdini will look for a way to slip through the slats her foster family fence and can climb a chain link fence if her foster mom isn’t watching! Needless to say, Emily will need a very secure fenced in yard in her forever home where she can run as fast as her little legs will take her but with no escape routes. Her foster family has been working on leash training but never without her harness as she has zero recall skills and will bolt if given the opportunity to explore. Her new family will need to be willing to work with her to learn important commands to keep her safe.

Fun is what Emily is all about! She plays with her 3 foster siblings but her bestie is the 9 year old Cavalier boy who she follows everywhere and emulates his every move. They even lay together on the couch, sleep next to each other at night and even ride side by side in the car. Her foster mom thinks it would be best for Emily if she has a canine companion to hang out with in her new home. When her humans aren’t home, Emi has learned to crate with her other Cavaliers and will run to her crate when given the command “let’s lay down”, where she gets a treat.

An excellent car rider, Emily has been able to enjoy trips around town in her booster car seat while watching out the window. When she’s in the businesses, she uses her manners and is always fawned over by patrons and employees alike.

Her house training has been going well as she is a quick learner but does not signal when she needs to go out, rather she sits at the door and waits. Emily will need her new family to continue her training and establish a strict routine so she continues to have success. Thankfully, Emi is very receptive to praise and treats during her training.

Emily is an enthusiastic eater and likes all nutritious foods. After a long, active day, Emi is happy to snuggle on the couch with her foster mom and the other dogs. They watch TV for a bit and then head to bed where she sleeps in the big bed with everyone else all night. Emily loves to press and curl herself right up against her foster mom to sleep. Emi also loves to curl up in her shaggy donut bed, will play for hours with her toys and especially enjoys having her belly rubbed and chin scratched. In fact, when she wants attention, Emily will come and tap you to request a pet, or several. She is just a sweetheart and the family that adopts Emily will fall head over heels in love!

Emi is up to date on all her shots and preventatives for heartworm and fleas. She is spayed, has a micro chip and has been given a clean bill of health.

If you think that you are the right loving family for Emily and are willing to work on her training to be the best Cavalier she can be, then please fill out an application on our website (if you have not already), and let Whitney Barron, wbarronp@gmail.com know of your interest.

Romeo in Dassel, MN

Update 7-3-25: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

My name is Romeo and true to my name, I will steal your heart!

I’m a 4 year old black and tan Cavalier born 05/12/2021 that is always up for adventure, just ask my always wagging tail :). But my favorite thing in the whole wide world is to cuddle my people, while giving and getting all the love.

I have good manners, and I know the basic skills… sit, stay, come, but no need to ask me twice to come and cuddle. Once I get to know you I’ll also let you know when I need to take care of business with some “hey you” barks at the door. I’m a true romantic who loves taking long walks with the ones I love, while having some meaningful conversations. I am laid back and a go along kind of guy but can be excitable on leash. We’re working on that.

I’m a true Cavalier when it comes to meeting new people & other dogs, I’ve never met anyone I didn’t like and who, honestly, doesn’t fall in love with me. My foster mom has these things called cats. I was a bit nervous at first, but have found out they are pretty cool too and can be great napping buddies.

The vet says I’m a healthy boy and that I’m at a good weight at 19.5 lbs.

I really want to find my furever home, will you take a chance on this star-crossed lover?

If you are interested in this little lover, please submit an application if you haven’t already and then contact Diane Parrish Coordinator WI/MN by email cavalierrescueusa.mn.wi@gmail.com and let her know you’d like to adopt this pup.

Winston in Urbana, IL

Meet Winston! He is a handsome Ruby Cavalier with a beautiful coat and a lovely disposition. He came to Cavalier Rescue USA as a breeder release. We do not know Winston’s birthday but were told he is 2-3 years old and our veterinarian also estimated him at 2-3 years old. His forever family could do a DNA test that shows his estimated birthday if they would like!

Winston is gentle, calm and affectionate. We call him our gentle giant because he’s more than twice as big as our other dog but is a total sweetheart. He never throws his weight around and shows no jealousy or aggression towards our dog over toys, food, or attention!

Winston is very friendly and is great with both adults and kids, as well as other dogs. He follows us everywhere and loves nothing better than cuddling up next to someone on the couch. He is an avid snuggler and often thinks he’s a lap dog, even though he’s a tad big for that, weighing in at 30 pounds. (Yes, he loves meal time too!)

Winston is smart and learned how to use the dog door the first day he was with us. He is doing fantastic on housetraining and will go out on his own through the dog door, or will go to the back door to be let out. He doesn’t bark yet to alert us that he needs to go out, so you have to pay attention, but overall, he’s doing wonderful!

Winston enjoys walks and is great on a leash. He is very curious and loves to sniff everything, whether on a walk or in our fenced-in backyard. He also loves to chase butterflies and run after squirrels, birds and chipmunks.

Winston is playful and loves toys – especially chew toys and balls. He likes to dig through the toy box and scatter toys around the house, or carry his chew bone with him outside. We laugh when he lets his chew bone hang from his mouth like a cigar because it reminds us of Winston Churchill, his namesake!

Winston is crated when we aren’t home and will go in his crate willingly when we ask him to. He even goes in on his own occasionally to take a nap! He snores when he sleeps, which we find adorable! We are certain that he would love to sleep in the big bed with his forever family.

We have been delighted at how quickly Winston adjusted to us and his new surroundings. You can’t help but immediately fall in love with Winston’s sweet personality and calm temperament so he will make a wonderful addition to his new forever home family!

Since coming to rescue, Winston has been neutered, treated for ear infections, brought up to date on his vaccines, is on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention, and microchipped.

If your family can provide Winston’s forever home please fill out our online application, if you haven’t already and then contact Meg Hutson Eisenmenger at Cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com to let her know of your interest.

Bandy in Republic, MO

Here is Bandy with his new mom…

Meet Bandy: An adorable 1.5 year old Blenheim Cavalier looking for his forever home.

Bandy was born on November 2, 2023 and was given to rescue by a Good Samaritan. Bandy is a calm and snuggly pup that enjoys going for daily walks, carrying around his toys and playing with his foster dog siblings. He loves exploring outside, so he would do best in a home with a fenced-in backyard. He currently uses a dog door and is working on becoming potty trained.

Bandy enjoys going for car rides and has great manners when going to new places. He is a little timid when you first meet him, but warms up quickly. He is in excellent health and has been neutered, microchipped and is current on all vaccinations as well as his heart worm and flea/tick preventatives. Bandy loves meal time, but does have a sensitive tummy, so feeding him a dry food for sensitive stomachs is ideal.

Bandy isn’t a fan of thunderstorms, so you may find him hiding behind a pillow during storms. He also doesn’t like being left alone, so you may hear his adorable howl if you step outside without him.

Bandy has a beautiful coat and is quite a handsome guy. He needs a gentle and loving forever home!

If you are interested in Bandy, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, then email Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Thank you!

Reese in Plymouth, MI

Here is Reese with his new family…

A happy, chill companion. Meet Reese a handsome, 5-year-old tricolor male who came into rescue when his family’s living situation changed. Reese has made himself at home with his foster family. He gets along well with the other Cavaliers in the home and enjoys going on walks around the property with everyone.

While in foster care, Reese has easily adjusted to the routine. He sleeps in his crate at night (the crate is next to his foster mom’s bed) and is gated in the kitchen with his foster siblings when his foster mom leaves the house. But he is much happier when his foster mom is home. She works from home, so Reese spends most of his days happy as a clam on a dog bed next to his foster mom. He likes to follow her around from room to room when she is not sitting at her desk. Reese has been licking his hair while in foster care, which may be a sign of separation anxiety. So, he will do best in a fur-ever family with someone home during the day.

Reese has good house manners, not having any accidents while at his foster home. He sleeps through the night (10 pm – 7 am) without needing any potty breaks.

In his previous home, Reese exhibited reactive behavior when he’d see another dog through the family fence. He showed similar signs while in foster care (at the vet he was pulling on his leash and barking at a dog he saw in the parking lot). This behavior seems to occur when he sees another dog. But when he is in the home and interacting with other dogs, he is perfectly fine. For this reason, he would do best in a home with some property (his foster home is on 2-acres), so he is not too close to neighboring dogs. Aside from this behavior, Reese is generally a go-with-the-flow fellow.

In the evening Reese likes to nap on the back cushion of the couch near his foster family. Although he sleeps in a crate at night, he makes himself at home on the people bed during the morning and evening. Reese would not object to having the opportunity to remain there all night. He travels well in the car.

Reese is a sweetheart of a dog: laid-back, friendly, full of unconditional love!

He will need a fur-ever home with someone home during the day for potty breaks and short walks. He will settle in best at a home with a routine and moderate activity level.

Reese is up-to-date on his vaccinations, has been micro-chipped, and is neutered.

If you want to adopt this pup, please complete the online application if you haven’t already and email June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Reese.
