Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Peach in Douglassville, PA

Update 10-1-25: We think we have identified a loving home for this pup so aren’t accepting new applications for now. Thank you!

Hi, I am Peach. I am a three year-old retired breeder that was surrendered to rescue from a commercial breeder in Lancaster County. My foster Mom named me Peach because I am soft and fuzzy on the outside, and super sweet on the inside.

I’m up-to-date on all my shots. I have been spayed and had a dental cleaning. I am housebroken, crate-trained, walk well on a leash and love roaming the fenced-in yard!

I have learned how to do steps and understand that grass is kind of neat, although rain and getting wet is not my favorite thing to do.

Thunderstorms and loud bangs during the Fourth of July did not bother me, however, when Mom jumps, I jump. I’m good with bathing and grooming.

I am a slow eater so my foster Mom feeds me in my crate so that I can get my full meal. Sometimes I don’t finish, so my foster Mom will give me the rest as a treat when I follow commands. I am great with kids, adults and other dog. Cats are OK.

I do voice my protest when being put in my crate, except to eat. I will let you know when someone is at the door, or when my foster Dad comes home from work. I do sleep in my bed on the floor next to my foster parents bed! I don’t jump up on furniture. I am a queen so I use doggie steps!

The best part of my day is laying next to my foster Mom on the sofa or outside on the loveseat, listening to music with her while she reads her book. I am a true “Velcro” dog.

I still don’t quite get the concept of what toys are however, my foster Mom has been working on that. I love meeting people of all ages and size, exploring the out doors at parks and events. I am a great traveler as well.

If you are within reasonable driving distance of Douglassville, and your family would be a good fit for Peach, please complete an online application if you don’t already have one on file. Then email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com to tell her of your interest in Peach.

Rosie in York, PA

Update 10-1-25: We think we have identified a loving home for this pup so aren’t accepting new applications for now. Thank you!

Have you ever wanted to “get a dog for your dog”? Then please consider adopting the adorable Rosie! Rosie is a tiny, 13 lb. tricolor girl looking for a pack to call her own. Rosie’s true personality comes out whenever she sees other dogs. She wiggles and wags, runs and plays, and even barks and “talks” if her new canine friend isn’t showering her with enough attention. This petite princess is a former puppy mill mama from Lancaster County who is estimated to be around 6 years old.

While Rosie is a little timid and shy around people, she is still friendly and even great with older kids. She’s perfect in the car and does well going on adventures – as long as she is carried most of the time. Leash training is definitely not her favorite thing so her new family should be prepared to continue working on that with her.

Because Rosie was in a puppy mill all her life, she struggled with things like house training and eating and drinking from bowls when she first entered into rescue. But her foster family noticed she learned much quicker if another dog was there to show her the way. Therefore, Rosie must be placed in a home with at least one other friendly dog who will continue to help her learn.

Rosie is in good health. She has a small heart murmur and does not need meds for it at this time. She is up to date on all vaccines, flea/tick/heartworm medicines, is micro-chipped, spayed, and recently had some dental work done.

Rosie has lived a hard, lonely life and is ready to be pampered with love and friendship from humans and dogs alike. If you are within reasonable driving distance of York, PA and you and your pack think this cutie pie sounds like the missing piece to your family, then please consider adopting Rosie. Complete the online application if you haven’t already and also email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com to tell her of your interest.

Liam in Narragansett, RI

Update 9-30-25: We think we have identified a loving home for this pup so aren’t accepting new applications for now.

Liam is a sweet and spirited, six-month-old Blenheim Cavalier who’s ready to find his forever home! This handsome boy came into rescue when his previous owner realized that life was too busy for a puppy, but now he’s thriving in foster care. Liam is looking for someone who has the time and love he deserves.

Liam is playful, affectionate, and full of puppy charm. He loves other dogs and children. He can be timid when first meeting new friends, but that soon dissolves into affection and loving interest. He lives for a game of fetch, and loves his toys and running in the yard. For his safety and for exercise purposes, Liam needs a fenced yard and a walk or two every day.

Liam loves his foster sibling. He has a special talent for grooming his foster sister Rosie, and he takes his job very seriously! At night, after relaxing on the couch, he happily curls up in his crate with his beloved stuffed dog and sleeps peacefully through the night.

He’s crate- trained and learning the ropes of being a well-mannered Cavalier. Liam would do best in a home with another friendly dog of similar size who can be a playmate and a role model.

Because he’s still a pup, he needs a home where someone is around most of the day to help with frequent potty breaks and to keep up with his busy, joyful energy. A fenced yard for zoomies and taking daily walks would be his dream come true!

Liam is a healthy, happy puppy. He is doing quite well with potty training. Keeping him on a schedule is key to his success. He is very treat-oriented which makes training easier. Liam is up-to-date on immunizations and preventatives.

His new owner will need to have him neutered at about nine months of age. Written proof of neuter must be submitted to us.

If you are searching for a handsome, joyful, loving pup with soulful brown eyes, look no further than Liam. His energy is contagious, and he will make you smile every day. Your love and caring will be returned ten-fold.

If you are interested in Liam, and live within a reasonable driving distance of Rhode Island, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already done so. Then please express your interest in Liam by emailing Jill Kitson at: Jillharte@yahoo.co.uk

Marley in Hillsborough, NJ

Here is Marley with his new family…

Marley is a 1 ½ -year-old Blenheim Cavalier (DOB: March 20, 2024) who came to rescue when his previous family’s changing responsibilities made it difficult to give him the time and attention he deserves. Now, this sweet, affectionate boy is ready to find a forever home where he can thrive.

In his foster home, Marley has earned many titles: A+ Sock Thief, My Shadow, Big Mush, Excited Nibbler. He loves being close to his person, ideally within sight at all times. When excited, he may gently nibble your fingers or just hold them in his mouth. Marley most closely resembles a baby bird that has imprinted on his human!

Marley is still learning about the world. He’s working on leash walking for the first time and is housetrained, though he will have accidents if left alone too long. For this reason, he would do best with someone who is home much of the time.

Marley thrives on cuddles and being close to his human. He requires a home where he can be the center of attention, though he would also do well with a canine friend to show him the ropes. A securely fenced yard is a must, as he loves zooming around and playing with toys once he feels safe and comfortable.

This little cuddler is sensitive and anxious when first meeting new people or encountering new sounds and environments. He needs patience, reassurance, and gentle encouragement to help build his confidence. Marley can be especially wary of men, though it’s not yet clear whether this is situational or ongoing.

With time, love, and understanding, Marley will blossom into a confident and loyal lap dog. He is microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Marley, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rebecca Plimpton at Beckplimpton@gmail.com to express your interest.

Tammy in Enfield, NH

Here is Tammy with her new family…

Meet Her Royal Highness, Tammy. At a sprightly 9 years young, this sweet lady is a professional in the arts of snuggling, snack-sniffing, and demanding attention with flair. Tammy was surrendered when her human moved into assisted living. Her human’s son tried to keep up with her needs, but she requires more doting than he could provide.

Tammy can be opinionated, but only in the most charming ways. She’ll bark and do an adorable dance if you’re failing to recognize her as the true queen of the house. Her foster mom is working on the art of “quiet,” but Tammy strongly believes that barking is just her love language.

Tammy is looking for a loyal subject or two who will shower her with attention, belly rubs, and small treats. She’d thrive in a home with older adults, a family with children, or even someone interested in having a therapy dog, as she loves new people. Ideally, this diva would like to be the only dog in the home as she doesn’t like to share the spotlight. That said, she gets along fine with other dogs, respects cats, and finds chickens mildly amusing but not worthy of chasing.

As she can be needy, Tammy requires a human who’s home most of the time or someone who can sneak her into work disguised as an emotional support marshmallow. She’s the type of dog who will follow you from room to room, not because she’s clingy, she’s just supervising. Constantly. Lovingly.

Tammy is currently working on losing a little weight (Could it be due to her love for treats???) and making excellent progress. She is also mostly deaf, so fireworks, doorbells, and loud neighbors don’t bother her in the slightest. She’s learning hand signals and already knows “come” and “sit,” with “down,” and “wait” coming along nicely.

When she arrived at her foster home, Tammy wasn’t completely house-trained, but she has learned quickly. She is now house trained and trustworthy! She asks to go out and uses the yard like a pro. She’ll need either a securely fenced yard or someone willing to give her regular potty breaks on a leash. As with any royalty, she appreciates treats.

Health-wise, Tammy does have a grade 4 heart murmur and has recently started medication to manage it. She’s not one for intense activity, but she’s perfectly content with her chill, low-maintenance lifestyle full of gentle affection, light harness and leash walks, and lots of lounging.

If you’re looking for a low-energy, high-sass, cuddle-obsessed companion who believes every couch is a throne and every treat is rightfully hers, live within a 3-4 hour drive of Enfield, NH and have filled out an adoption application, Tammy might just be your perfect match. Please email Barbara Blanchette to tell her of your interest at blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com,

Prepare to be adored!!!

Tebbe in Skaneateles, NY

Here is the pup with one of his loving new family members…

Meet Tebbe (pronounced “Teb-bay”), a gorgeous and heart-healthy eleven-year-old!

This gentleman is in search of his forever home.

Tebbe was recently released from his owner who is permanently leaving the country. Following a conversation with her veterinarian, it was decided that it was not in Tebbe’s best interest for him to undergo the 20-hour flight and subsequent mandatory quarantine. Though it was an extremely difficult decision, she is sure that Tebbe will find a new home to provide all the love he needs. She knows that Tebbe definitely has more love to give!

Tebbe lived in New York City at the start of his life. He was out and about on the busy streets regularly. Once the COVID pandemic hit and the family moved north, Tebbe enjoyed a more quiet existence.

Though he has an adorable skip in his step and really enjoys walks and hikes, he is a bit of a homebody since the pandemic quarantine life.

Tebbe is fully house trained and pen-trained. He loves daytime naps in his pen, and has worked on overnight adjustments, as he loves being with his person if allowed. His previous owner said he will always choose the bed or the couch, if given the opportunity. Tebbe is neutered and microchipped, and up-to-date on core vaccines and preventatives.

Tebbe has such a pleasant presence, and is sweet with his four Cavalier friends at his foster home. Someone who is home much of the time would be ideal for Tebbe. Tebbe prefers older children and all adults he has met.

Tebbe is now ready to find the right permanent home. If you are the one for him, please complete our online application. Then email Michelle Farnum at cavalierrescueny@gmail.com so she knows of your interest in Tebbe.
