Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Della in Tulsa, OK

Here is Della with her new mom…

Hello, hello! Thank you for visiting me! My name is Della and I was born 06/10/2024, so I’m just a little over a year old. I was given up by a breeder with my other Ruby Cavalier buddies in July. I am happy to be here in Oklahoma with my foster daddy. I have a sweet, loving and velcro personality. Where he goes, I go. I love cuddling, sleeping on his lap, going to the lake, riding in the car, and just being close by him all the time. I enjoy our daily walks around the block and I’m now up to 3/8 of a mile with him. We stop and I get to meet all the kids and big people daddy introduces me to. I’m kind to the children and they tickle my chin and pet my ears. Daddy shows them how to massage my neck, and oooooooh do I love it. So do the kids! Daddy thinks I was named after a famous singer because when I’m alone I sing the blues like a baying hound : a woo woo a woo, woooo woo a woo!

I warm up to other new pups once I get to know them. I will let those that are nosey know with a deep growl that I don’t like them being too nosey. I have a variety of chewy toys I enjoy. Daddy has taught me to fetch my sock, monkey, ginger bread man, and even golf balls. I play right before bed and it helps me sleep better.

I sleep on my blankets on a couch during the day. At night I sleep in a corner of his room next to foster dad’s bed. I tend to wander so he puts up a screen to keep me safe and secure. I will let him know if I have to go out to potty. I have a pen to sleep in if daddy is gone for more than 3 hours to avoid accidents. I let him know when I really really have to go, so other times he takes me out every 3 hours or so and says GET BUSY! I eat my meals at 7:30 am and 4:00 pm that keeps me consistent with get busy!

I have all my vaccinations, heart worm prevention, rabies , and a chip etc. I no longer have my baby making machine too. I am now rid of some parasites in my tummy and took medicine for those to get rid of them. My heart is happy and beats smoothly all the time, my teeth are pearly white, and my coat is clean, smooth and shiny. I have the floppy sock (Grinch) paws, the chaps and the signature flag tail. I love a warm bath, with shampoo and a massage. People who meet me say I’m beautiful, gorgeous, Oh My! Not sure what it means, but I know I like them. Good Girl!

Scotty in Greensboro, NC

Scotty is a very sweet 26 pound Blenheim Cavalier born September 16, 2019. He was welcomed into Cavalier Rescue USA after we were contacted by a local animal shelter for help. Scotty had been abandoned on a vet’s doorstep, so after his stray hold was up, he moved into foster care with us.

Scotty is a happy, energetic guy who loves everyone, two and four legged. He gets so excited when someone comes to visit. He does have a habit of jumping on them while barking happily, which his foster Mom is working on.

He is housebroken if taken outside regularly and will go in and out a doggie door if one is available. He loves to venture out into the fenced back yard to smell all of the wonderful scents scattered all over by his foster siblings, birds, squirrels and whatever else has the nerve to venture in. He believes he is the ruler of the backyard and will not allow anything to drop onto the yard. The poor birds and squirrels are on his radar and so is anyone walking by the yard. He will let them know he is on duty! He also tends to munch on objects in the yard, so his owners will need to keep a watchful eye on him.

Scotty’s tail never stops wagging! He loves to snuggle up against his foster mom for some one on one loving or will lay quietly either on the porch swing outside or the ottoman inside for a quiet nap.

Scotty currently sleeps in a 3 ft exercise pen at night and lets you know when he needs to go out to potty the next morning. He would love to sleep with his new humans though.

Scotty does need other dogs to be with when you leave the house. He does have some separation anxiety, which we are sure has a lot to do with him being abandoned. His foster Mom leaves music on when she leaves to run errands and at night. This has helped tremendously! His new owners will need to be committed to continuing to help Scotty overcome his separation anxiety.

Scotty loves to play fetch and tug of war! He would play day and night if you let him. It is his favorite thing to do besides laying right next to his foster Mom.

Scotty really enjoys feeding time. He knows exactly where his food bowl goes and will dance around happily barking until you put his bowl down in his pen. He is a very fast eater, so he is eating from a slow feeder bowl.

Scotty came into rescue with an ear infection in both ears, a very large hot spot, and intestinal parasites. This has all been cleared up. He was also neutered in our care and had a dental.

Scotty’s foster Mom has started to teach him to walk on a leash. He is not a big fan on someone holding him back from smelling everything, but with time and patience she believes he will start to enjoy it.

Scotty needs a home with a securely fenced yard, with someone home most of the day. He needs other like-sized canine companions, as well as an active family that can take him for walks and play with him. He needs an experienced owner that can continue to work with him on his separation anxiety, leash manners, and jumping and barking. With his jumping issue he should not be adopted to families with small children; older dog-savvy teenagers would be great for him though. He has not been cat tested.

If you are interested in adopting Scotty, meet the criteria, and live within a reasonable driving distance to Greensboro, NC, please complete the online adoption application if you haven’t already and then notify Rescue Coordinator Angie of your interest by emailing her at nccavalierrescuemom@gmail.com

Dino and Stella in Chesapeake, VA

Introducing the inseparable duo, Dino (Black & Tan) and Stella (Ruby), two delightful siblings born on November 27, 2022. These resilient pups entered rescue when Stella required patella surgery, which was successfully completed in July. She is scheduled for a final vet checkup and release in September, ensuring she’ll be ready for her forever home.

Stella and Dino are guaranteed to bring endless joy and playful energy into your life. They thrive on engaging in activities, staying curious about their surroundings, and then settling down for a peaceful night’s sleep after a day full of adventures.

Upon their arrival, both Stella and Dino were a bit on the heavier side but have since achieved healthy weights. Stella weighs 27 lbs and Dino weighs 37 lbs. They possess a hearty appetite, so keeping treats and food out of reach is a must! They adore leisurely strolls in the yard and would flourish in a fenced environment where they could bask in the sun on a beautiful day. They exhibit excellent leash manners and are perfectly house-trained, even signaling their need to go outside before you offer. It’s truly heartwarming to witness Stella’s affectionate nature as she frequently grooms Dino’s face and playfully keeps tabs on his every move.

To ensure their comfort and prevent mischief when left alone or overnight, they have their own dedicated “condo,” a secure and cozy space they’ve come to love. They are often found napping together, content in their shared haven.

Meal times are managed by feeding them in separate areas, a strategy implemented to prevent Dino from sneakily finishing Stella’s portion! When they anticipate meal preparation, their excitement is palpable, often expressed through adorable whining and barking. We continue to work on this, and their progress has been remarkable since their arrival.

Their enthusiasm for going outside is unmistakable, as they jump and bark to let you know it’s time for an adventure. They revel in walks and even enjoy car rides, including trips to the vet! Stella has a peculiar fondness for chewing on pinecones, gumballs, sticks, and clumped grass cuttings. Currently residing in a serene country setting with few immediate neighbors, they occasionally interact with two dogs next door, resulting in a chorus of barks. They’ve also encountered horses nearby, initially barking at them, but have steadily grown accustomed to their presence, barking less with each sighting—they’re truly quick learners!

Dino is quite the TV enthusiast, often barking at other animals, especially dogs, on screen. Both he and Stella are incredibly social with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, having successfully interacted with numerous boarders during their stay. While their reaction to cats is unknown, given the absence of feline companions in their current home, their love for people, including small children, is undeniable.

Above all, Stella and Dino simply crave being near you, and if there’s an opportunity, they’ll happily snuggle into your lap. Due to their size and Stella’s recent surgery, stairs are provided for them to access the couch or bed. When stairs aren’t available, Stella will charmingly place her front paws up, indicating her desire to be lifted, and she’ll need a little assistance from there.

If you are an excellent match for Stella and Dino, please read about our Adoption Process and complete an online application if you haven’t already. Then, email Rescue Coordinator Diane at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com so she knows of your interest in this pair.
