Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Chaz in Issaquah, WA

Meet Chaz, a loyal, smart, and very handsome 4-year-old Black and Tan boy who is ready to join his forever family on their adventures! Very much the typical Cavalier, Chaz wants to be with his people and enjoys close physical contact, so he will need someone who is at home most of the time.

Chaz is also intelligent. He learns routines and expectations quickly and eagerly. While he will happily curl up with his person for a snuggle and a nap, to feel his best long term, Chaz would be happiest as part of an active family who will seek interaction with him, initiate games or training, take him on walks, and provide a fenced in yard for him to explore and play fetch. He will joyfully reciprocate gentle interaction with others including mature children and other small, respectful dogs.

As far as housetraining, Chaz is well trained and will prompt you to let him out to potty outside of his routine times if he needs. As is somewhat common with Cavaliers, Chaz has exhibited some signs of separation anxiety, so his forever family should be committed to using an intentional, consistent approach to address it. Overall, Chaz is an extremely sweet and smart, devoted companion with so much joy and love to give his forever family.

Chaz recently had a dental cleaning and is up to date on his core vaccines and preventatives. The vet did note that it would be ideal if Chaz lost a couple of pounds, with his goal weight around 22-23 pounds. Otherwise, he is in excellent health and is ready for a lifetime of love and adventure with a wonderful forever family.

If you think you can offer Chaz all the TLC he deserves and are within driving distance of Issaquah, WA, please complete our application online (if you haven’t previously) and then email Melissa Cincotta at happycavaliers04@gmail.com to express your interest.

Belle & Perry Mason in Federal Way, WA

Meet Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason: a Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home.

Belle and Perry are a sweet, happy, affectionate bonded pair who are ready to find their forever family. Belle is a beautiful 5-year-old tri-color girl, and Perry is a handsome 3-year-old ruby boy with long, luscious locks. Fun fact: Perry is actually Belle’s uncle, even though he is younger than she is!

Belle and Perry came into rescue through no fault of their own due to a change in their family’s circumstances. They have been loved and well cared for, and it shows. Both dogs are healthy, friendly, social, and wonderfully easy to love. They are good with other dogs, good with cats, and love kids.

These two are lower-energy companions who are happiest simply being wherever their people are. Perry does enjoy a good round of zoomies when the mood strikes, but overall, they are content to cuddle, relax, supervise your day, and keep you company. They would love a home where someone is around a lot, works from home, or enjoys taking their dogs along on outings.

Belle and Perry would especially enjoy a home where they are welcomed on the furniture for prime snuggling opportunities and have a yard where they can safely explore. They are crate trained and housetrained. They may give a few light barking protests when first left alone, but they settle within about five minutes.

Both pups are healthy and had recent dental cleanings. Belle did have several of her front teeth removed, but she does not seem to notice or let it slow her down one bit. Their eyes have some tearing that requires daily cleaning but they don’t mind. Belle weighs 22 pounds, and Perry weighs 24 pounds.

Belle and Perry are also used to regular grooming. Perry’s gorgeous long coat does require daily brushing to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Their favorite things include cuddling, being near their people, exploring the yard, watching animals on TV, and occasionally barking at those very suspicious TV creatures. They are sweet, loving dogs who will bring warmth, laughter, and companionship to the right home.

Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason are bonded and are looking for a home together. If you are looking for two loyal, affectionate companions who already know how to be wonderful family dogs, Belle and Perry may be the perfect pair. Their ideal home has a fenced yard for them to explore and humans that can spend a lot of time with them. They’re compatible with cats, dogs and children over 5.

If you’d like to be considered for their new home, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously) and email Melissa at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.

Simba in Cotati, CA

Here is Simba with his new family…

Meet Simba, a two year old Ruby who is 13 lbs of sweetness. Simba is a breeder release and is looking for his forever home where he will be nurtured and loved.

Simba will do best with a canine companion. He loves to cuddle with people and other dogs. He follows his human and canine pack everywhere. He really likes to play with other dogs. He will follow their lead even for things he doesn’t understand such as where to potty and taking walks. He is easily trainable. He likes puffy treats, but otherwise is picky about treats. Simba is shy, but very agile with lots of energy. Nonetheless, he is happy being held in your arms or on your lap.

Simba has been checked by the vet and has been given a clean bill of health. He had a dental with three teeth removed. He will need to regularly have his teeth brushed.

Initially he had marking issues, but that is decreasing. It may be anxiety related. Otherwise he is mostly good about going outside but needs some work.

This sweet pup is a bit nervous. He shakes and cries in the car or new situations, but he improves as he adjusts. Simba is getting much better at being in the crate especially at night. He does not like being left alone.

He will bark at new people and even at his foster parents when they have been somewhere and come back in the room.

Simba needs a home with people who will be patient as he grows into the perfect dog he is meant to be. He has loads of love to give and great potential. If you think you are a good fit, please complete our online application if you have not already done so and then email sayrahk@gmail.com to indicate your interest.

Elizabeth in Tucson, AZ

Meet Elizabeth, a delightful young Cavalier with a heart full of love! Born on November 15, 2024, Elizabeth is an affectionate little girl whose favorite place in the world is wherever her people are. Whether she’s curled up beside you on the couch or snoozing nearby in her dog bed, she’s happiest simply being close to those she loves.

Elizabeth also enjoys the company of other friendly dogs and would thrive in a home where she has a canine companion or two. She’s playful, curious, and always interested in what’s happening around her. After a fun burst of play or a few joyful zoomies around the yard, she’s just as content to settle in for a quiet cuddle.

Elizabeth came to rescue after living first with a breeder and then briefly with an owner who loved her but struggled with house training. Since joining her foster home, she’s made wonderful progress. With the guidance of the resident dogs and a consistent routine, she quickly learned to signal when she needs to go outside. Like many young dogs that are newly house trained, she’ll need a refresher and supervision as she adjusts to a new home, so her adopter should be willing to continue her training with patience and consistency.

She enjoys spending time outdoors when the weather is pleasant and will need a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and play. Because of her limited early experiences, Elizabeth is still uncertain about walking on a leash, but with gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement, she’s expected to become more confident with leash walking over time.

Although generally confident and well-balanced, Elizabeth can occasionally be startled by unfamiliar sights or loud noises. She may bark briefly when surprised, but once she has a chance to investigate, she quickly relaxes. Her resilience and eagerness to learn make her a wonderful companion.

Elizabeth is spayed, current on all vaccinations, and weighs 22 pounds. She could benefit from losing a couple of pounds to reach her ideal weight. She has a very soft Grade 1 heart murmur, but her veterinarian is not concerned, as she has no symptoms and is otherwise a healthy young dog. She also takes a daily fish oil supplement to help with mild dry skin.

Elizabeth’s ideal forever home will include:

Another friendly dog (or two) for companionship.
A securely fenced yard.
Someone who is home most of the time.
A family committed to continuing her successful house-training routine.
Children age 10 or older, as younger children may be overwhelming for her.

In return, Elizabeth will reward her family with endless affection, loyal companionship, and plenty of snuggles. She has all the qualities that make Cavaliers so special—a gentle heart, a loving spirit, and an unwavering desire to be part of the family.

If you believe Elizabeth could be the perfect addition to your home, please complete our online adoption application if you haven’t already. Then email Carolyn at smallpaws4@mac.com to let her know you’re interested in meeting this sweet little girl.

Elizabeth is ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. Perhaps it’s yours.

Winston in Sandpoint, ID

Winston is a sweet 3 1/2-year-old Cavalier with a heart of gold. In the few weeks that he has been with his foster family, he has exemplified everything there is to love about the breed. He is happiest when he is with his people, whether he is giving kisses, sitting on your lap, going for a walk, or relaxing on the couch.

Winston was surrendered because his previous owners did not have enough time to dedicate to him, and he truly deserves a family that can provide the attention he craves. He is crate trained and goes in willingly when his foster family leaves, waiting patiently and greeting them happily upon their return.

While initially shy, he quickly befriended the other dogs in his foster home—two Newfoundlands and another Cavalier. He enjoys exploring the backyard, sniffing flowers, and chasing squirrels and birds with his friends.

Winston is also very bright. He knows basic commands such as sit, down, stay, and come. He will even shake hands and play fetch, reliably returning the ball to your feet. His foster family is currently working with him on leash training, as he tends to pull when excited.

He has been introduced to cats and chickens with no issues and has even visited a river; while he dipped his toes in, he didn’t show much interest in swimming. On farm visits, he stayed close to his people even when off leash.

At his recent veterinary intake, Winston was declared to be in perfect health. He weighs a healthy 20 pounds, has no heart murmur, and is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick preventatives. He is also recovering well from his recent neuter. He is fully housebroken and has had no accidents in his foster home. He shows no food aggression and is happy to share his bowl.

Winston would thrive in a home where someone is present most of the time, ideally with a large, fenced yard and another dog for companionship. If you can offer this and live within a reasonable driving distance to Sandpoint ID, please complete our Online Application (if you haven’t previously) and then email Cindy at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know that you are interested in adopting.

Sofia in Castro Valley, CA

Here is the pup with her new family…

This beautiful sweetheart is Sofia. She was born on Cinco de Mayo in 2025 and is just a year old. She is a petite little girl at 11 pounds with a sleek, glossy black and tan coat. Sofia is a bit timid at first but warms up quickly. She loves to snuggle and is a classic lap dog.

Sofia is house and crate trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate but would love to join your big bed. She is house trained if let out often. She consistently uses the dog door in her foster home. Sofia likes chewy toys and enjoys shredding paper. She also loves ice cubes and plays hockey with them on the hardwood floors. She loves chasing and wrestling with her same aged foster sister and would do well with a playful canine partner in her new home.

You can’t tell by her lean form that Sofia is a little chow hound and might need a slow feeding bowl in her future, she is very food motivated! She does have a bit of separation anxiety but she can be distracted with a treat dispensing ball.

Sweet Sofia was surrendered by her owners when they realized she wasn’t a good fit for farm life. While in foster care her vaccines have been updated and she was spayed. She had some mild ear infections that have been treated and cleared up. She is heart and overall healthy. This precious girl has so much love to give and can’t wait to find her forever home.

If you are interested in this cute little nugget of Cavalier perfection and live within reasonable driving distance of the San Francisco East Bay please submit an application if you haven’t already and then email your interest to Sarah Knudsen, our Northern California Coordinator at sayrahk@gmail.com
