Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Reggie in Nashville, TN

Update 10-20-24: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more for now. Thank you!

We are thrilled to introduce you to Reggie, a delightful and energetic 3-month-old tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 06/24/2024.

Reggie’s journey with us began when a kind-hearted Good Samaritan rescued him and generously donated him to Cavalier Rescue USA, ensuring he’d go on to have a wonderful life in a loving home.

Reggie is a typical puppy, full of energy and excitement. He’s always ready to play and especially loves engaging with his older foster siblings who are willing to join in the fun. His playful spirit and curiosity make him the perfect companion for an active family or household with other pets that enjoy interaction.

Reggie is in excellent health, up to date on all his vaccinations, and will need to be neutered once he reaches around nine months of age. His foster family has been working with him to establish good habits, and while he’s still learning, he is a smart little guy who catches on quickly with proper guidance and structure.

If you’re ready for the joy (and maybe a little bit of puppy chaos) that comes with adding a young Cavalier to your family, Reggie will reward you with endless affection, laughter, and loyal companionship.

Thank you for considering giving Reggie the loving home he deserves. He is excited to meet his forever family and share his boundless puppy love!

If you live within a reasonable driving distance (typically 3-4 hours) of Nashville, TN, and believe your home could be the perfect place for Reggie to thrive, we would love to hear from you. Please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then send an email to Sandy Medd at rescuecavaliers@gmail.com to express your interest in Reggie. Tell us a bit about why you would be the perfect home for him and provide your location. Thank you!

Rusty in Georgetown, KY

Rusty is a 3.5-year-old male Ruby Cavalier weighing in at 23 pounds. He’s a stunningly beautiful boy with that classic Cavalier charm—his tail never stops wagging! Rusty has a friendly, gentle disposition and gets along well with every dog he’s met. He’s also good with cats and was fine when he met our 16-month-old granddaughter, although he might find young children a bit overwhelming due to his cautious nature.

Rusty is a bit skittish, especially with sudden movements or being approached from above, but he’s learning to trust his surroundings. He’s cautious, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality shines through.

While he rides well in the car, Rusty isn’t familiar with jumping in or out, and he’s still learning about leashes. Right now, he needs leash training as he struggles on leash. House training is a work in progress—he currently wears a belly band indoors due to occasional marking, but he’s making strides in crate training and even took a nap in it today!

Rusty is very interested in human food but less excited about dog food. However, with a little chicken broth on top, he’s started eating from his bowl. Otherwise, he’s been eating from hand. He is in good health with no major issues. He’s up-to-date on vaccinations and has been thoroughly checked by our vet.

If you think Rusty might be the perfect fit for your home, please reach out to Emily Greenhill, the Kentucky coordinator at emilygreenhill@outlook.com to express your interest and learn more about this sweet boy!

Aliyah in Falls Church, VA

Aliyah is a friendly 12-year-old tricolor Cavalier that came into rescue as an owner surrender and through no fault of her own. She is looking for her forever home to live out the rest of her golden years.

Aliyah is a snuggle bug and is most comfortable when she is in the same room as her foster mom. She is friendly to all new people and dogs. She is great with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs. Aliyah lived with two Cavalier brothers previously and she quickly fit in with her foster Cavalier brothers. She would do well in a home with other dogs or as a solo pup.

Aliyah weighs 18-pounds and is in excellent health for her age. She has a healthy heart and her senior bloodwork came back perfectly normal. Her vaccines are up to date and she will be receiving dental care before going to her forever home. She takes a daily pro/pre-biotic supplement to support her digestive system.

Aliyah is a mature, calm dog but she also likes to play with kids and chase toys. She rarely barks except to signal when she wants to go outside to the bathroom. She walks well on a leash, does not require long walks, and stays close to her people at all times.

Although she does need to go outside to do her business approximately every four hours during the day, she sleeps through the night without needing a bathroom break. Aliyah would do best with someone who can be with her during the day.

If you are looking for a wonderful companion who loves to relax, snuggle, and be close to you, Aliyah would be the perfect match!

To adopt Aliyah, please submit an online application and contact Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com to indicate your interest. Thank you for opening your heart and home to Aliyah!

Acorn in Arlington, VA

My name is Acorn and my foster family says I am everything you would ever want or expect a Cavalier pup to be. I was born on Jun 21 and am 4 months old. My foster family says I am sweet, playful, food driven, affectionate, snuggly, and an attention seeker:).

In the last month, I have had the opportunity to meet many dogs, as well as a cat and bunny. I love all animals and people. I have come across kids of all ages, as well as many adults. I love everyone who comes my way.

I am smart and quickly getting the hang of potty training with yummy treats as my reward. My foster family takes me out very regularly, so I am not having accidents in the house.

I love to be held and snuggle under the covers but am crate trained and happy to be there at night. I sleep through the night but will soil my crate if you don’t get me out early enough. I will not bark to go out yet.

With the beautiful weather, my foster family takes me on a lot of walks, to the park, and on hikes. I love anything outdoors.

I have a microchip and am up to date on my vaccines but will need more as I am still growing. I will also need to be neutered when I am old enough. I’m very healthy.

I will be happiest in a home where people are active and someone is around most of the time to give me the attention I need. I would love a doggy playmate and kids are also a plus.

If you are interested in me, fill out our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com so she knows to view your application.

Bella in Dallas, TX

Here is Bella with her new family…

Meet Bella, a precious 5 year old Black and Tan girl with the sweetest personality. Bella has a heart full of love and an eagerness to share her affections with a family who will adore her.

Bella relishes the simple pleasures of life. Her favorite time of day is when she can sit down with her foster family and receive the best of belly rubs. She will even provide a little encouragement with her paw to keep those pets coming! She gets very excited about going on walks outside and is always up for adventurous car rides. Bella is an easygoing and relaxed girl, always staying nearby her foster family wherever they may be in the home.

Bella is in terrific health. She’s up to date on all her vaccinations, recently received a dental cleaning, and is microchipped for added safety. Bella is also completely potty trained having no accidents at all in the foster’s home. At night, she sleeps soundly in her crate, though she’d happily snuggle in bed with you if given the chance, as long as you don’t mind a little snoring.

Bella was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by her previous owner because she did not feel comfortable with the other dogs in the house and would often guard her food. Bella, however, is doing amazing around the foster’s dogs, having never exhibited those behaviors. She eats peacefully and slowly in her own crate without food being left out. Because of her prior issues with guarding, however, we do think she would be happiest as an only dog.

The ideal home for Bella would offer a securely fenced yard where she can roam and explore at her leisurely pace. She truly thrives on companionship and would fit best with a family where someone is home the majority of the time, ready to provide her with the affection she craves.

Bella is an adoring girl that is ready to fill your home with loads of love and joy. She asks for little in return for her endearing affection, but is deserving of much. Contact us to learn more about this sweet dog and start the journey towards your lifelong bond.

If you feel you can provide Bella with the everlasting love, a fenced yard, and someone that can be with Bella the majority of the day, please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. If you have not already filled out an online application, please do so. Preference is given to applicants who live within a few hours driving distance of Dallas.
