Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Leopold in Suffolk, VA

Leopold is approximately 3 years old and unbelievably was found as a stray with no tags or chip. He has been neutered, chipped and found to be healthy. He is at a good weight of 21 pounds and is larger in stature for a Cavalier.

It is quite clear what a handsome young man he is. His foster mom says he is without a doubt the most loving and affectionate Cavalier she has ever seen! Leo loves playing with his foster sister who is about the same age and is slowly learning how fun toys can be. He is completely in heaven ON your lap and often is a hugger. He does well sleeping in the bed and snuggling with his foster family.

That being said this little guy does have some significant separation anxiety. If left to his own devices while alone, his level of mischievousness is noteworthy. His forever family must be willing to commit to professional training classes and for his safety, crating when he is left alone. He will do best with as little alone time as possible.

Although he gets along wonderfully with his foster Cavalier brother and sister, he is not the most comfortable around larger dogs. Because of his need of training we recommend only older children in the home. He walks well on a leash and loves being active. Leopold requires a secure fenced yard as he can be an escape artist if given the chance.

This young man will surely be a wonderful addition to one lucky family.

If you are interested in Leopold, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email the local Virginia coordinator Michelle Ouellette at cavalierrescueusadmv@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Derek in Austin, TX

Here is the pup with his new mom…

Are you ready for puppy love? Meet Derek, a tricolor boy, who was born on November 7, 2022. He was generously released to CR-USA by his owner, allowing us to find him a loving forever home from our extensive pool of applicants.

Derek is the most independent of his litter. He is an energetic, outgoing nearly three-month-old who loves to play—running and jumping after and with his Cavalier foster litter mates. He and his litter mates chase his foster brother all around the yard. In total puppy fashion, he loves to explore new areas and is very curious. Because he is a puppy, he needs more supervision because of his curiosity. Derek is like a wind-up toy: playing extra hard and enjoying his chew toys, then collapsing in to nap time snuggled up with his fur sisters.

He is a quick learner and uses a doggy door to go in and out of the house, under the close supervision of his foster mom. He is in the process of being potty trained and needs to be taken out pretty frequently during the day. He sleeps in a crate with his siblings, and they have slept through the night without needing to go out. However, the pups have asked to go out for potty during the night as well.

Derek’s perfect home would be a place with someone home frequently to continue his potty and behavior training; he would be fine as an only dog or with a more submissive fur friend. His forever home should be puppy proofed as he will find anything on the floor or hanging low and chew or ingest, if given the opportunity. He needs a securely-fenced yard. His forever family needs to be prepared for puppy antics (bring your patience!) and should be committed to careful supervision and continued training for basic commands and potty skills. An enclosed puppy playpen area should be used when he can’t be directly supervised; a similar area can be used outside for his safety and monitoring potty skills.

He uses a crate to be fed. The door is then closed to keep his litter mates from stealing his food. He loves comfy pup beds, blankets and toys. He vocalized his displeasure during bath time!

Derek has had the first two rounds of puppy vaccines. His forever family will be responsible for the third round of puppy vaccines and rabies vaccine. In addition, his forever family will be required to have him neutered and microchipped by nine months of age.

Derek is fostered in Austin, TX. If you are interested in providing Derek a forever home, please complete the online application, if you haven’t already done so, and then contact Janice Cartwright at janicecartwright33@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Families who live within a few hours’ drive of Austin will be considered. Please also take a moment to read about our adoption process by clicking the following link: Process.

Charlotte in Austin, TX

Are you ready for puppy love? Meet Charlotte, a black and tan puppy, who was born on November 7, 2022. She was generously released to CR-USA by her owner, allowing us to find her a loving forever home from our extensive pool of applicants.

Charlotte was the smallest pup in her litter, but that hasn’t slowed her down. She is an energetic, outgoing nearly three-month-old who loves to play—running and jumping after and with her Cavalier foster litter mates. She and her litter mates chase her foster brother all around the yard. In total puppy fashion, she loves to explore new areas and is very curious.

She uses a crate to be fed. The door is then closed to keep her litter mates from stealing her food. She is less interested in food than her litter mates; she may need some coaxing. She loves comfy pup beds, blankets and toys. She was a very cooperative pup during bath time.

Charlotte has had the first two rounds of puppy vaccines. Her forever family will be responsible for the third round of puppy vaccines and rabies vaccine. In addition, her forever family will be required to have her spayed and microchipped by nine months of age.

Coco in Austin, TX

Are you ready for puppy love? Meet Coco, a tricolor puppy, who was born on November 7, 2022. She was generously released to CR-USA by her owner, allowing us to find her a loving forever home from our extensive pool of applicants.

Coco was the first of her litter to achieve puppy milestones. She is the most vocal of the litter. She is an energetic, outgoing nearly three-month-old who loves to play, running and jumping after and with her Cavalier foster litter mates. She literally hops up like a bunny to pounce on her playmates. She and her litter mates chase her foster brother all around the yard. In total puppy fashion, she loves to explore new areas and is very curious. Because she is a puppy, she needs more supervision because of her curiosity.

Jax in Austin, TX

Here is Jax with some of his new family members…

Are you ready for puppy love? Meet Jax, a Ruby, who was born on November 7, 2022. He was generously released to CR-USA by his owner, allowing us to find him a loving forever home from our extensive pool of applicants.

Jax is an active pup. He is very energetic. He is an outgoing nearly three-month-old who loves to play, running and jumping after and with his Cavalier foster litter mates. He and his litter mates chase his foster brother all around the yard. In total puppy fashion, he loves to explore new areas and is very curious.

Jax is like a wind-up toy: playing extra hard and enjoying his chew toys, then collapsing in to nap time snuggled up with his fur sisters.

Jax’s perfect home would be a place with someone home frequently to continue his potty and behavior training and ready to play with him. He would be fine as an only dog. His forever home should be puppy proofed as he will find anything on the floor or hanging low and chew or ingest, if given the opportunity. He needs a securely-fenced yard. His forever family needs to be prepared for puppy antics (bring your patience!) and should be committed to careful supervision and continued training for basic commands and potty skills.

Jax has had the first two rounds of puppy vaccines. His forever family will be responsible for the third round of puppy vaccines and rabies vaccine. In addition, his forever family will be required to have him neutered and microchipped by nine months of age. His neuter may require a bit more work if both testicles haven’t dropped by the time of this procedure.

Charlie in Nashville, TN

Here is Charlie with his new family…

Charlie is a handsome 4-year-old Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 10/12/2018. He came into rescue because his family is away a lot; they felt he would do better with someone home more. Charlie does love to keep tabs on his foster parents and follows then around the house in typical Cavalier form! Once he knows you are going to be in a room for a while, he will find a cozy spot to lay and take a little nap until you are onto the next thing. We will be looking for a home with someone home most of the time.

Charlie has been in a home with children and a large dog who he adored. He would do well with both. He really enjoyed playing with his dog-mate and would probably enjoy a playful but respectful dog sibling.

Charlie enjoys long walks on his leash and will stand by the door to go out. He would benefit from a little more help on his leash walking skills so as not to cut in front of you but he is not a puller and overall does great. He stands so nice and still while getting leashed up with just a thump, thump, thump of his tail to let you know he is happy and excited for the next adventure!

He is such a handsome boy with gorgeous, adoring eyes. He has a face which is very expressive and it certainly can melt your heart. He loves to cuddle, get scratches and be loved. Charlie does love to cuddle but also takes breaks to lay on the cool floor. He tends to run a little hot sometimes. Charlie likes to fetch and play with you with his toys. He loves to roll around on his back with his toys between his paws in the air. They really aren’t trying to get away but he likes to pretend they are! He’s so cute!

Charlie is a good little car rider and even took a couple of hour trip with his fosters. He did wonderfully. He will get in the car by himself and waits to get out with guidance.

Charlie has been brought up to date on vaccines, preventatives and was neutered while in rescue. He will need to be supervised initially until he gets used to the smells in his new home so as not to mark. That desire may quell even more in a few weeks post neuter.

If you live within easy driving distance from Nashville, TN and believe you would be a great fit for sweet Charlie, please email Liz Nigh of your interest at lizcavalierusa@gmail.com. Please indicate the city and state you are located. Be sure to complete an online application if you haven’t done so before. Thank you!
