Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Bailey in Tulsa, OK

Here is Bailey with her new family…

Hello, hello! My name is Bailey and I’m a 3-year-old former mommy in a breeding operation. I came into rescue with my crate buddy and was initially nervous and shy as I had not been handled or nurtured by my owners. It took me a while to warm up to living as a pet, but once I saw your kindness I melted from all of the back and belly rubs. Then I was able to return that love with kisses and cuddles on your lap! My foster dad gives the best shoulder blade deep massages and ear and head scratches. Ooh! Ahh! Yess! Right there! Mmmm.

I apparently had eaten something before I arrived that I shouldn’t have and became very sick. The vet had to do a big surgery and got out some wire that had poked through my intestines. It wasn’t a fun time, but I was very grateful for all the care and attention. I am all healed now and ready for my new life. I was also spayed and had my teeth cleaned. They poked me with vaccines and I am on heartworm and flea prevention. Oh, and I have some little chip that helps find me if I am lost.

I have been very happy with my foster dad and another foster dog that I like very much. We like to snuggle sleep and go on walks or ride in the car. My foster dad says I am a “sweetie-peetie”! I follow him all around the house and make sure I know where he is. I love his fenced backyard that is full of flowers and I go about and explore all of it. He took a picture of me sleeping in the flowers. Silly me! I do love to sun myself outside. I like walks and am not overly fond of leashes. Walking in the quiet neighborhood I would rather drag the leash and walk right with you. I stay close and don’t wander. I need more practice walking with the leash.

I spend most of my day sleeping on my favorite couch spot with my favorite toy. I like children and other dogs that are my size and not aggressive or rowdy. I love to eat now that I feel better and will eat mine and go for my foster sister’s if not redirected. I also like a treat if I do the good outdoor “deed”. I get busy twice a day usually after I eat. We go out at least every 3 or 4 hours and have no accidents in the house. Since I ate something inedible, it is important that I have some safe flavorful chews and toys.

I would be most comfortable in a home with another calm small dog, someone home a lot and children who respect my space. Oh, and a fenced yard is important. I know how to use a dog door, but that isn’t imperative. I’m looking for that special family to love and cuddle with and be your sweet little pet forever!

Lizzy in Tulsa, OK

Hello! My name is Lizzy and I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’m an 8-year-old Blenheim Cavalier and everyone I meet says I’m a sweetie! My last wonderful owners have both developed health issues and were very sad but asked that Cavalier Rescue USA find me another great home.

I love a soft couch or warm lap to snuggle up to when I nap. I love to sleep! I also like to follow you everywhere you go, including errands and road trips. I’m shy at first but lots of head scratches and chest rubs let me know you are a kind compassionate human. I love to meet other dogs my size and those who aren’t too bossy or rowdy. Just hold me close and let me sniff the new pup and I’ll be fine. Little children who are nice to me are great and they love when I give them kisses on their hands…especially if it smells like peanut butter or leftover lunch.

I like to take walks around the neighborhood on the sidewalk. I am very well behaved and stay close to you without pulling. I’m a little hard of hearing but a few hand claps will get my attention. Gestures are welcome when showing me what to do next. My foster dad combs me every day and I love it because it feels so good! I am cooperative with grooming, nail trims and paw pad shaving. I am house trained and know how to use a dog door. My foster Daddy takes me outside every few hours and I’ll “get busy” as he says, and I know what to do. When I’m done, I’ll meet you at the door with a smile! Give me a small treat and a “good girl” and I’m ready to snuggle! I am a quiet girl but will bark at a horse on TV! I don’t rough house inside or chew on things. That could be because I had a dental and had to have the rest of my few remaining teeth extracted.

I am up to date with my vaccinations and heartworm, flea/tick preventatives, and I am microchipped. I am slightly overweight for my size but have lost a pound since I’ve been in my foster home. I do have a heart murmur and take daily medication to help me. My vet records include a lot of information and testing to know just what needs to be done to give me my best life. I have been very well taken care of. Overall, I am a cute, sweet loving girl who is in decent health to live a long life if taken care of.

The Fabulous 5 in Dallas, TX

Cavalier Rescue USA in the Dallas TX area was able to take in this group of dogs when their owner asked for help after life changes resulted in his inability to keep the dogs. While we were told they were purebred Cavaliers, upon getting them into rescue, they appear to be a beautiful mix of Cavalier, Dachshund, and Papillon.

All were given health checks, microchips, vaccinations, and dentals or spay/neuter, and are on heartworm preventatives. Their ages range from 3-5. These dogs came to us scared and confused but have settled into sweet, healthy dogs and are ready for adoption.

Oreo is a 5-year-old, male, neutered and healthy tricolor. He weighs 15 pounds exactly and is the cuddliest, fluffy friend. He has a wonderful personality where he enjoys walks and playing with his foster brothers and sister as well as quietly lounging on the couch to watch TV.

Oreo would do best in a home with other dogs. He came from a home with many dogs and after a few days of quiet adjustment time, he does great with other dogs and new people are all friends he hasn’t met yet. He’s still working on potty training and thrives on routine and consistency. He also loves treats and is very food motivated!

Oreo is healthy and handsome. He’s ready for his forever home and new best friends in human and doggy form!

Gidget is one of the youngest of the group, only 3-years-old. She is a sweet, loving little girl who wants to always be by your side. She loves to be a couch potato while you are relaxing and will stay right by your side but once you are up and moving, she is right there with you! She can be a bundle of energy, running as fast as the wind, or sit quietly enjoying your presence while she is waiting for a belly rub.

She fits in nicely with other dogs but she would also be happy being the only dog in the family. She typically isn’t interested in cookies or treats, with the exception of a little piece of cheese.

Gidget received a great report from her visit to the vet and weighed in at 12.6 pounds. She walks well with a harness and leash and would enjoy daily walks. She is working on potty training and would benefit from a doggy door as she had one in her previous home. She is crate trained and will sleep all night in her crate but she would definitely prefer sleeping in the bed with a family member. Even if that’s not your plan, when she looks at you with her soulful eyes, you might change your mind about where she sleeps!

Louie is a neutered 2-year-old tricolor boy. He is highly intelligent with beautiful markings. He is full of love for his human and enjoys snuggling on the couch. He weighs 10 pounds.

He came to us with a limp. The vet did x-rays and could find no issues and the limp has resolved with some medication. He had a dental and neuter and is up to date on his vet work. He is a healthy boy. He is a light eater and sleeps well in his crate at night. His potty training is going well with frequent outings. He still wears a belly band in the house as a precaution.

He is still working on his social skills with other dogs. He loves his human so much that he can get jealous of others dogs around his person. He also is very nervous meeting new dogs so the introductions have to be slow. We have been working on this and it has greatly improved. He was very scared when we got him so building trust with him takes time but the reward of his love is worth it! He will either need to be an only dog or with an experienced dog owner who is confident in continuing his training. Louie will thrive in a calm and patient home with an adopter who is experienced with dogs.

Flynn is a 3-year-old male tricolor who is a bundle of energy and a very happy boy. This special boy 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 loves one-on-one time 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. He does have a bit of stranger danger for newcomers at his home. He will bark at visitors who come into your home. This is something we are currently working on with him. Though he is maturing, Flynn still has that puppy-like excitement, especially when treats and belly rubs are involved.

He is 18 pounds and has a clean bill of health! He has done great with potty training and uses a doggy door well. He also sleeps nicely in a crate at night. 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.

Sofie is a sweet 5-year-old tricolor girl who is a petite 13 pounds. Just look at her beautiful, inquisitive bright eyes! Although Sofie may be a bit shy at first, once she warms up to you, she enjoys being by your side whether it is relaxing, playing or going for walks. She may be afraid of new people in the home, so patience is key for Sofie. Sudden noises and movement may startle her, this is most likely due to her prior environment.

Sofie likes to be on a set schedule and routine. She would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as she thrives one-on-one with minimal distractions. Sofie gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into her forever home. Sofie is mostly quiet only barking when the other dog in her foster home starts barking. She does like to patrol her yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood.

Once she is comfortable, Sofie is the quietest, sweetest girl you will ever meet. She loves belly rubs, playing and curling up with her foster parents. She is extremely intelligent and learns very quickly. She comes when called and sits on command. Sofie loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is a big part of her daily routine. She enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion.

She has done very well with potty training in foster care and will use a doggy door. She is also a very healthy girl! She is a perfect companion for anyone looking for a peaceful, loving dog to brighten their life. Those expressive eyes and her petite size make Sofie an irresistibly charming little girl.
