Bonnie and Tammy in Greensboro, NC

Bonnie and Tammy are bonded Tricolor Cavaliers who lost both of their owners within a year of each other. After most recently losing their Dad, their neighbor stepped in to help after they were sent to a local shelter. She quickly got them released into her care, and then contacted us for help.

Unfortunately, Bonnie and Tammy are not new to the rescue world. Their loving owners adopted both of these sweet girls. Their owners were avid Cavalier lovers and rescue supporters. Bonnie and Tammy been through a lot, and are now looking for their retirement home. They love the familiarity of each other’s company, and must be adopted together.

Bonnie is a happy, laidback lady who loves everyone, two-legged and four-legged. She loves to run around the backyard like a young pup. Her favorite thing is laying by her person while being gently petted. Bonnie’s tongue hangs out of her mouth due to losing all of her teeth, but that just adds to her delightful personality.

Bonnie recently had what is probably her last dental exam, and had her remaining four teeth extracted. She feels a lot better with no more yucky infected teeth. She’s still able to eat and drink just fine. Her foster Mom softens her kibble with warm water before each meal.

Bonnie is estimated to be around thirteen years old. She has a grade one heart murmur with no medications needed. She also has small cataracts, but seems to see just fine. She also has some hearing loss. Bonnie is housebroken and used to being taken outside regularly. (She can go on a pad if needed.) Bonnie is heartworm-free, and is on monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication.

Tammy is the leader of the two. She loves to be loved on, but will not ask for it. At times she will let you know she is done by moving away. Tammy does love belly rubs, and will lay there as long as you are rubbing her. She does follow her foster Mom around the house just to make sure she is okay.

Tammy has the cutest snore when she is sleeping. She does eventually sleep silently. She is believed to be around ten years old with a grade 1-2 luxating patellas. The luxating patellas do not seem to bother her, nor do they require surgery. Tammy would benefit from continued weight loss to help her maintain her mobility. She also recently had a dental and lost thirteen teeth.

Tammy is housebroken, and is used to being taken outside regularly. She is not a fan of wet grass and will pee on the patio if you let her. She was also accustomed to using a pee pad in her former home. Tammy is heartworm free, and is on monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication.

Bonnie is a very slow eater, and she must be fed separately from Tammy. (Tammy will come and eat her food otherwise.) Tammy is a bit heavy, so her foster Mom is working on getting her weight down.

They both sleep together, but would love to sleep in the big bed with their new owners.

Tammy and Bonnie are friendly to other dogs, but have not been tested around cats or kids. They need a calm home without young active kids, or overly playful dogs (or big dogs.)

These senior girls promise to fill their new owners home with love and laughter.

Baxter in Covington, KY

Meet Baxter, your new best friend. Baxter is a sweet and friendly 6-year-old (born 5/27/2019) tri-color Cavalier who’s ready to steal your heart. Weighing in at 27 pounds, Baxter is a big boy who is the perfect mix of laid-back companion and enthusiastic walking buddy.

This gentle boy loves going for car rides and is an excellent passenger. He also enjoys leisurely walks around the neighborhood and greeting all of the neighbors. But don’t be fooled—Baxter is also a true couch potato at heart. He’s happiest curled up next to you or hopping right into your lap for snuggles.

Baxter is fully house-trained, does not require a crate, and will join you in your bed at night. He was raised with a cat and gets along with his foster’s two small dogs. He’s just starting to show an interest in toys, and loves running after his ball.

Due to his strong bond with people, Baxter does have some separation anxiety and may scratch at the door when left alone. However, he is working on being more confident when he’s home alone. He would still thrive, though, in a home with someone who is home most of the day.

Baxter is up to date on all vaccinations and is in excellent health.

Trudy is a beautiful, black and tan girl born June 15th of 2023 with long curly fur. She weighs 15.5 lbs. is up to date with her vaccinations, is microchipped, spayed and in excellent health.

  • Housebroken. NO accidents the entire time in foster care. Just let her out frequently and all are happy!

  • Crate-trained and trustworthy indoors. Free roams when alone without issue.
  • Loves car rides. A perfect co-pilot for our adventures.
  • Playful and smart. Loves to learn and so far, knows how to sit for a treat. Willing to learn more. Loves cuddles, chewing on toys and chasing her tail.

Areas where patience is required:

  • Leash manners need work. Tends to tug like a big dog! Loves to go on walks and is eager to explore and does so with incredible energy.

Twila in Henrico, VA

Twilia is a gentle, sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who has traded in her days as a breeding mama for the quiet comforts of home—and she’s loving every minute of it!

She was reported to be about 5 years old, although the vet thinks she is closer to 3-4 years old and appears to have had one litter. She is 17 lbs. She has a slight murmur that the vet states is almost undetectable, so just like all Cavaliers, this will need to be watched. She is in excellent health.

Twilia is a calm and easygoing pup who spends much of her time lounging near her people. She gets along well with other dogs. She catches on quickly to the daily operations of the house, is learning to love treats, and does love to be praised and will give you a big smile and enthusiastic tail wag when you do.

While Twilia is a sweetheart through and through, she does have a flight response; sudden noises or unfamiliar situations can make her bolt, so she’ll need a watchful eye and secure surroundings to help her feel safe and loved. Due to this, she can only be adopted by families with a secure yard. Twilia would prefer to stay in the house and lounge on the furniture.

She’s still discovering what it means to be someone’s cherished companion, but with the right home, she’ll thrive as a beloved family member.

If you are interested in this precious Cavalier, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com so she knows to look for your application.

Flynn in San Antonio, TX

Flynn is a bundle of energy and a very happy boy. This special 3-year-old Cavalier mix would thrive in a home with a secure yard and a family that is home with him most of the time to share in his adventures and offer him lots of bonding time.

He would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as he thrives one-on-one with minimal distractions. He gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home.

Flynn is mostly quiet, only barking when the other dog in his foster home starts barking. He does like to patrol his yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood. 

Once he feels secure in his environment, Flynn is a devoted companion who will stick by your side and happily curl up by your side for a cozy nap. He will need a family that is patient and willing to work with him until he learns to trust and feels less stressed in his new environment.

Though he is maturing, Flynn still has that puppy-like excitement, especially when treats and belly rubs are involved. He loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is key to his daily routine.

He enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion. His loyalty and love shining through his eyes makes Flynn an irresistibly wonderful boy. 

If you are interested in the sweet boy and think you are a good match for him please fill out an online application (if you haven’t already) and send an e-mail to the Rescue Coordinator Sarah Swanson at 210cavalierrescueusa@gmail.com
