Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Harley in Loveland, CO

Harley with his forever family!

Meet Harley, a well-behaved, Cavalier lover boy, who will steal your heart with his first hello. Harley is a gentle soul who loves everybody. He gets along great with other dogs and cats. Harley loves playing with his foster brother who also is a Cavalier.

Harley was born on August 17, 2018, making him 7 years/10 months old. He is an active boy! When outdoors he will sniff and search everywhere for the squirrel that just might be hanging out in the yard. He would enjoy a home with a fenced yard. Harley loves to go on short walks. Harley will spin in circles excitedly when he knows he is going for a ride. He is a great passenger and lays down and sleeps while traveling.

Harley came to us because his elderly owners could no longer take care of him. His living situation had become stressful and he had begun to urinate in the house. Harley has been on a remedial training program while in foster care and is back to having good house training and has been accident-free for a month now.

A heart murmur was noticed during his intake exam. Since he needed to go under anesthesia for a dental, he had a cardiology exam and heart echo. Harley has Degenerative Heart Disease with a grade II out of VI heart murmur and is at stage B1. He needs no heart medications at this time. He should have a follow-up cardiologist visit in 9-12 months unless concerns are noticed before then. After his dental, Harley only has three teeth left. He is eating soft food for the next couple of weeks.

Harley LOVES FOOD!! Harley is very food motivated but his love for food put a few too many pounds on him. He came to us weighing nearly 29 pounds, now weighs 27 pounds now with a goal weight of 23 pounds.

Harley would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. He gets along well with other dogs and cats so a home with other animals would be great. He would love to have a fenced yard. Another small friendly playmate would be welcome, but he was an only pet most of his life.

I have never had such a well behaved, gentle soul, and loving dog in my entire fostering career. Harley will be one of the best things that will ever happen for you.

If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an adoption application and email Carolyn CarolynCKCS@comcast.net so she knows you are interested.

Lillie in Davis, CA

Here is Lillie with her new parents…

Meet Lillie, a 3 to 4 year old adorable black and tan girl whose past is a bit of a mystery. She was obtained from animal control. Her past owner had 8 to 10 dogs and maybe was a backyard breeder. Lillie definitely has had a litter or two. Despite her past, she is a loving, cuddly girl who follows you everywhere and is affectionate to everyone in the household. She is quite the athlete, very speedy and agile. She might enjoy agility training.
She is still learning to be an indoor pup.

She doesn’t signal for pottying and has made a few mistakes but does well if kept on a schedule. She gets along well with the other household dogs after the initial meet and greet.

She walks well on the leash and doesn’t bark at passing dogs. She has a playful side and sometimes gets the zoomies. She tosses her Kong into the air and chases it.

Lillie does have a mischievous side. She snatches objects off the coffee table to chew on. She was found on the kitchen table one afternoon. She growls at the dogs on tv and at new dogs that come into her personal space. She doesn’t bark inside but outside she barks at people on the bike path along the fence line.

Lillie is in excellent health. Initially matted and flea ridden, she has been treated and groomed with a short hair cut. Her fur is starting to grow back and she has cute little baby feathers on her legs and tail. She is now on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. She is up to date on her basic vaccinations. She has had a dental and been spayed while in rescue. She had some mild ear infections that have been treated and cleared up. Her heart sounds great with no murmur. This precious pup weighs 17.5.

Lillie would fit into an active household who work from home or could bring her to work and include her on adventures. She could be an only dog or live with another gentle, small dog. She would be fine with older children. She needs a fenced yard. She is not cat tested. She doesn’t do well in the kennel and sleeps on the bed. Her perspective adopter should want a bed buddy.

If Lillie sounds like your girl and you live within driving distance from Davis, CA, please fill out an online application. Then email our Northern California Coordinator, Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com

Teddy in Longmont, CO

Teddy with his forever family!

Let’s meet Teddy! As with Velcro Cavaliers, Teddy’s motto, along with his mission in life is, “You will never be alone again! I will be your forever best friend!” and… “You will never be alone again!” This works because Teddy has a heart full of love and devotion that he will happily share with his new forever family!

Teddy came in to rescue due to anxiety/separation issues in his first two homes. In foster care, Teddy has been carefully monitored with daily anxiety medication and he is doing so much better. From the moment he arrived at his foster home, Teddy has been discovering that life doesn’t have to be so scary. He is happiest being in the home hanging out with his foster mom or enjoying the companionship of his foster siblings in his own private fenced secure and safe backyard. Teddy loves to play and meet other little dogs. He loves to meet people… as long as he is with his foster mom! Teddy has decided that the outside world is big and kind of scary unless his foster mom is there to keep him safe and secure.

Teddy is a sweet little Blenheim boy who will turn three years old on June 28^th. His birthday wish is to find his forever family, who will understand him and love him to the moon and back! He is a perky, fun little guy who is so darned cute that he will melt your heart!

Teddy enjoys a regular routine, a calm household, kitties and being with you! He knows a few basic commands…sit, stay and dance on hind legs for a treat. Teddy is an early riser! Up with the sun or a bit before… mornings make Teddy very tail-waggin’ happy… he absolutely loves mornings! After breakfast, potty time and a treat, it’s game on! His stuffed toys provide the entertainment… favorite morning games are “Where’s your Puppy?” “Get that Gumby!” and “Find the Creature!” Teddy also loves backyard zoomies…and WOW, he is fast!

Evenings are bit more mellow… Teddy would like you to go to bed early evening time … 7:30 pm. When this doesn’t happen, he will find a spot near you and snooze away, waking up every now and then to make sure you have not tip-toed away. A perfect evening for Teddy is when you do go to bed early to snuggle and read a book. However, if Teddy goes to bed too early, you will find yourself up in the wee small hours of the morning for potty time.

What else does Teddy enjoy? He will go for short walks near his foster home, but prefers to go out and about in a puppy pouch. It keeps him close to his foster mom and is the perfect spot to be petted and admired by all who meet him. Going out for coffee is great as long as there is a nice lap to sit on. Shopping is fun and can be a nice, safe adventure. Everyone thinks Teddy is just the cutest little guy!

Teddy is at his perfect weight of 15 pounds. He is microchipped and current on necessary vaccinations. He had a wellness exam while in foster care which included a negative heartworm test, no physical problems were found and no heart murmur was detected. His teeth are in good shape and did not need a dental cleaning. Physically, he is in great shape!

Teddy is on a daily anxiety medication which is less than $10 a month. The medication can be adjusted depending upon how active his day may be or if he might be alone at home when his foster mom needs to run to the grocery store or run errands without him. Teddy can be picky about eating breakfast but is enthusiastic about eating supper. His perfect home would be a family or special someone who will understand his separation anxiety and his fear of the outside world. Being patient, loving and kind is a must!

The perfect home would have other small, friendly dogs for Teddy to play with and add security to his world. Teddy enjoys short, quiet walks around the neighborhood as long as he is walked with a sibling or two. Having other dogs in the household is a must! When Teddy becomes anxious in the outside world, he will sit down, refuse to move, look up at you with his big brown eyes and wait to be picked up by you. Teddy loves car rides that have no destination…he is very happy and calm driving around.

Teddy is the perfect companion if you are a home body. He needs to be near his person most of the time. His separation anxiety might become better with time but there is no guarantee. Teddy is sweet, loving and deserving of finding a forever home that is a perfect fit for him and for you. He had two former homes before coming to rescue and his foster mom wants to make sure that the third time is the charm for little Teddy. All he wants is to be with you, usually at home and to feel safe and secure.

Please give careful consideration before applying to adopt Teddy. If you believe that you can offer the kind of home environment that Teddy needs to thrive and be happy, please fill out the on-line application.
