Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Ross in Dallas, TX

Here is Ross with his new mom…

Ross is an adorable 11 month old (6/20/25) tricolor Cavalier ready to find a family of his own! Due to a change in his previous family’s schedule, he is now looking for a forever home where he can thrive.

Ross is a happy, curious, and social little guy. He enjoys children and gets along well with both dogs and cats. Due to his small size, gentle dogs and kids over age 8 would be best.

He is playful, vocal, and always up for a game of fetch or an adventure outdoors. One of his favorite things in the world is going for walks! The moment he sees his leash, his tail starts wagging and he’s ready to go! He may bark at dogs and critters on his walk to announce his excitement and presence. He loves exploring and has a strong instinct to chase squirrels, rabbits, and other creatures, so a securely fenced yard is a must.

This sweet boy is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in his crate. He has been doing very well with house training in his foster home and has remained accident free when kept on a consistent potty schedule. He does well holding it overnight.

He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and in good health. He is still very much in his “puppy brain” stage and would thrive with an active family that can provide exercise, enrichment, and continued training.

If you’re looking for a playful friend who is always ready for the next adventure, Ross might be the guy for you.

If you believe you would be the perfect match for Ross, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelbynfields@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Please read the FAQ on the website for additional information. Please emails only and within a 4 hour driving distance.

Bailey in Apollo Beach, FL

Meet Bailey, the most handsome, sweet, sprightly Cavalier you ever want to meet. Born on July 22, 2018 Bailey may be approaching his 8th birthday but you’d never know it. He is playful with just enough spunk to make him seem half his age. Bailey loves to go for long walks and spending time outdoors, play with toys and chase lizards. He adores people, wants to meet other dogs and is wonderful with gentle young children.

Being a true Cavalier at heart, Bailey simply wants to be near his people. He follows his foster mom from room to room, including resting under her desk when she’s working. He is a very good listener, knows basic commands and most importantly, understands the word “no”. Being exceptionally well behaved, he doesn’t jump on the furniture unless asked and sleeps in his crate all night long. Bailey is fully house trained and has good manners at mealtime.

Bailey is a very sweet boy who came into Rescue when his owner could no longer care for them. In an act of love and selflessness, their owner gave the pups to Cavalier Rescue USA. While they arrived together, we do not believe they are a bonded pair, as they don’t rely on one another for comfort or companionship. Because Bailey loves attention we feel he would be happy either as an only dog getting lots of love and care from an active owner or in a home with other friendly dogs to romp and play with.

Recently, Bailey had a full check up with the vet and received a good report, even though at 35 lbs he does need to lose a few pounds. He’s lost a few already since being with his foster mom and with continued exercise, the pounds will come off. Before coming into our care, Bailey had a dental and lost 14 teeth but he doesn’t miss them. He’s up to date on all vaccines, has a microchip, and is on preventatives. Bailey is a beautiful boy who gets lots of compliments where ever he goes. He has big brown eyes that say please love me.

Bailey is a happy boy who thrives on getting and giving love and attention but doesn’t like being left alone and has separation anxiety. His foster mom puts him in his crate when she leaves so he feels safe and secure. Bailey’s new family will need to be home most of the day and help him with this behavior to be a more confident dog.

If you think you’d love the companionship of a loyal, sweet, boy to go for walks with and cuddle on the couch, then Bailey may be your guy. Bailey is with his foster mom in Apollo Beach, Florida, and if you live within 2 hours of there and are interested in adopting him, please fill out an application online if you haven’t already and then end an email to Sue Wesson at suewesson@snet.net to let her know.

Penny in Dallas, TX

Update 6-3-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Meet Penny, Your New Best Friend! Penny is a happy, playful 2-year-old (3/16/24) girl who is ready to find her forever family. With her affectionate personality, joyful spirit, and love of cuddles, she has a special way of winning over everyone she meets.

Penny’s favorite things include playing with her foster dog siblings, chasing toys, going for walks, riding in the car, and snuggling with her people. If she had her way, she’d happily spend the entire day curled up in your lap. Whether you’re heading to a coffee shop, the park, or simply relaxing at home, Penny is always excited to be by your side.

She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, children, and adults of all ages. Penny is a social butterfly who loves attention, affection, and making new friends. She would especially thrive in a home with another playful dog companion.

At night, she sleeps soundly in her crate though she would love to snuggle in your bed if allowed! She has not had an accident in the house in over two months and is doing great with her house training. Like any dog, she will continue to benefit from a consistent routine and regular potty breaks. She can be vocal when she’s excited or playing, but her enthusiasm is all part of her charming personality.

Penny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Penny does experience some separation anxiety, so she would do best with a family that is home most of the time and has another dog to keep her company. She forms strong bonds with her canine companions and takes comfort in having a furry friend nearby while you are away. Because she is small, curious, and adventurous, she will also need a securely fenced yard to help keep her safe.

Penny came into the rescue with luxating patella’s in both of her back legs. She recently underwent corrective surgery on her right leg and has fully recovered, successfully completing her post-surgical physical therapy. Her left leg currently has a grade 2 luxating patella, but surgery is not recommended at this time. While we can’t predict whether she may need treatment in the future, Penny is currently living a happy, active life and shows no signs of letting her condition hold her back. She loves to run, play, explore, and keep up with her canine friends, embracing every day with enthusiasm and joy.

If you’re looking for a loving companion who will fill your home with laughter, affection, and endless cuddles, Penny may be the perfect match. She has so much love to give and is ready to find the family who will cherish her for the rest of her life.

If you think Penny could be the right fit for your family, please complete an adoption application if you haven’t already and email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. We prefer potential adopters to be within 4 hours driving distance. Also, be sure to review the FAQs on the website to learn more about the adoption process.

Charlie in Dallas, TX

Here is Charlie with his new family…

Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m an 11-month-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (born June 27, 2025) with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. At just 12 pounds, I’m a compact bundle of joy who fits perfectly in your lap but has enough energy to chase every firefly in the backyard. I am wonderful with children of all ages, from curious toddlers to energetic teens!

I came into rescue because my previous family couldn’t give me the time and attention a young boy like me needs. Now, I’m ready to find my forever family who wants to spoil me with fetch sessions and snuggles!

I’m inquisitive, playful, and an absolute sweetheart. I find joy in everything—sniffing the trees, chasing balls, and exploring the world around me. After a fun play session, my favorite thing is hopping into your lap for a long nap. I’m the perfect mix of “let’s play!” and “let’s cuddle.”

I know some foundational commands and manners. However, I’m still young and need someone who is patient and willing to provide consistent reinforcement of what I already know. For instance, I’m *mostly* potty trained and I do best with a routine involving frequent potty breaks, especially right after meal times. With a little consistency and kindness, I’ll be fully trained in no time.

I’m at a perfect weight, neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. The vet says I’m healthy and ready to go!

Now, I’m ready to find my forever family who enjoys playtime (balls are my favorite!) but also values quiet cuddle time. I am used to being an only dog and meeting new dogs makes me nervous. I would prefer a home as an only dog or a small and calm dog that I can slowly be introduced to. I’m also used to snuggling up and taking a long nap with my human in their bed at the end of the day. So, I’d love a family who would allow me to continue to do that. I do not like crates and don’t like being left home alone. I bark some when left so a house is preferred without shared walls. While I enjoy walks, I need more practice to make them enjoyable for humans. Therefore, I’d love a securely fenced-in yard where I can fully enjoy myself outdoors. I also need someone who is at home the majority of the time to keep me company.

If you want a loyal, happy companion who will cherish every moment, I’m your guy. I need a family that has time to make me a top priority. I just need a little patience with my potty training, some good play time activities, and a lot of love.

If you think you can provide my ideal home, please complete my rescue’s application if you don’t already have one on file and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Please email only and no phone calls. Read the website for FAQ. Please only apply if you are within a 4 hour driving distance.

Daisy and Rubee in Arlington, VA

Daisy and Rubee (Ruby) are a deeply bonded pair of Cavaliers who are as sweet as they come and incredibly easy to love. They came into rescue when their devoted owner could no longer provide the care they needed. They’ve adapted beautifully to their foster home-showing just how gentle, affectionate, and low maintenance they are. Rubee and Daisy thrive on companionship, both with each other and their humans. While they love being by your side, they also settle calmly when left alone together. Nights are peaceful too as they sleep soundly keeping each other company.

Daisy is a 7-year-old Blenheim beauty with the softest expression that will absolutely melt your heart. She is calm, affectionate, and when she gets excited, her adorable happy barks say it all. Daisy is overweight, weighing in at 32 lbs. and this has caused her to have some mobility issues. She struggles with one step, so she needs a home with minimal steps that she can easily navigate. She loves to go on walks, but they need to be kept short. She has a heart murmur detected, but no meds are necessary at this time.

Rubee is a 6-year-old Ruby colored sweetheart who loves being the center of attention. She still has playful energy, but mostly loves cuddling up in your lap. Rubee is overweight, weighing in at 30 lbs. Both girls need to be kept on a weight loss plan, but they have already lost a few pounds while in foster care. Rubee loves to go on walks and gets so excited when the leashes come out.

Daisy and Rubee are looking for a loving home where their owners are home most of the day and there are limited stairs. One step out to a fenced in backyard would be ideal. The girls love spending time outside. Daisy and Rubee happily greet any dog or person they meet, so children and other dogs in the home should be no problem.

If you are interested in adopting this sweet bonded pair, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Honey Bear in Houston, TX

Update 6-4-26: We’ve received several promising applications for this pup so aren’t taking more applications for now. Thank you!

Honey Bear is as sweet as he sounds! He came into rescue when his owner sadly passed away. Honey Bear was very upset, but his heart is healing thanks to Cavalier Rescue USA. This stunning boy is 8-years old and has an amazing coat that requires regular grooming.

Honey Bear is in good health and has no audible heart murmur. He weighs He is current on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and heartworm negative. He weighs 23 lbs.

Honey Bear gets along with other dogs, but would probably be happiest as an only dog where he can be the center of attention. He will guard his food from other dogs, so he is crated at mealtime. He is rather independent, but loves his people. He is quite a talker when he gets excited. He’s not a barker, but sounds more like Chewbaca!

Honey Bear knows sit and come and is completely housetrained. He is allowed on the furniture, but usually chooses to be on the floor or in his crate. He enjoys snuggling with you in bed, then usually jumps down afterwards. He takes his time exploring the backyard and is a lower energy dog. He’s good on leash, well behaved in the car and good for the vet and groomer.

Honey Bear would be a great companion for an older person who wants to hang out with their buddy. Would that be you?
