Here is Izzy with his new mom…
This sweet Blenheim boy is Izzy. He’s 2.5 born 12/2/22, healthy, neutered, up to date on his shots and ready to find his forever home.
Izzy was given to rescue by his previous owners because he barked while they were away from home. They live in a condo and confined him to a crate while they were away, had many complaints from their neighbors but are unable to move. In his foster home Izzy is not confined in a crate while they are away.They are retired and home most of the time, plus, there’s a dog door and he can go where he wants = NO barking! Izzy sleeps quietly in his crate thats next to the foster’s bed but he would love to join you in the big bed.
Izzy gets along with his foster siblings but seems a bit unsure of himself at first with people and is cautious. He’s loves toys and walks and is good on a leash.
Izzy is housetrained and just needs to be taken out every few hours. He’s had a few accidents in his foster home but they are fewer as the days go by. Once he’s settled in he’s reliable.
Izzy needs a home where he’s not alone very much, ideally a retired family or someone who works from home. He needs walks every day and a fenced yard. He will be happy getting all the attention as an only dog or can be part of a pack. He has not been cat tested.
If you are interested in Izzy and live within reasonable driving distance of the San Francisco Bay Area, completely fill out an application if you haven’t already, and then send an email with your interest to our Northern California Coordinator, Sarah Knudsen, at sayrahk@gmail.com.

Here is Riley with his new mom…
Meet Riley, a loving 6 year old Cavalier boy born 1/6/2019. Riley came into rescue when his parents started traveling for a year. Although he loves to go for rides, being in the truck all day without a house to play and run in was not a happy time for him. Riley’s parents made the sacrifice to offer him a better life through rescue.
Riley is a sweetheart who loves to hang out with his foster family. He loves to follow his Foster Dad around and sit close to him and cuddle. If Foster Dad is away, Foster Mom enjoys the attention and Riley loves them both. He loves to play with balls and is great at entertaining himself with them. Riley loves to go for walks and does well leashed. He loves to go for rides and meeting people. Going to the vet is a great adventure for him.
Riley tends to gobble down his food, so a slow feed dog bowl would be helpful. He can be a little territorial about his food bowl, so letting him walk away before picking it up is helpful. Riley eats a Special Diet of Hill’s to help with his joints as he has a slight limp when he is tired. Meloxidyl seems to help him walk without pain. He does have dry eye and so takes drops twice daily for that. He is also taking Potassium Bromide as he was diagnosed by a veterinary neurologist with REM Sleep Disorder.
More about that… REM Sleep Disorder is a medical issue where the pup is in a very deep sleep and if you try to wake him up by touching him, he is unaware of where he is at, is frightened and can snap. If you let him wake up on his own or by making a noise like clapping, he quickly is his loving, sweet self. Riley likes to sleep in his crate and this is very helpful with the REM Sleep Disorder. He can wake up by himself without human interference.
Riley is a fun little guy. He loves playing with a ball or other toy. While he was raised as an only dog, he’s done great with the dogs in his foster home and does well with other dogs that are sweet tempered. An active family to take him for walks or hiking and engage him in play would be perfect. A fenced yard in which he can play is required. He is very loving to his foster parents and will be to his forever family too.
If you are interested in adopting this sweet little guy, please complete an online application if you haven’t already and then email Carolyn at smallpaws4@mac.com so she knows of your interest. Thank you!

CJ is an 11-year-old female Blenheim Cavalier. She’s a sweet, gentle soul and looking for a special person/family to show her kindness and unconditional love. Sadly, before coming into rescue, she hadn’t had either for a long time and was very mistreated.
CJ spends most of her time resting in her kennel, but she really perks up when out exploring in the yard. This sweet girl likes gentle head and neck scratches, but she doesn’t seek out attention. She likes short walks around the neighborhood but needs you to carry her outside to get started. A lot of things are scary for CJ, and so she’s happiest at home where it’s quiet and she feels safe.
CJ has been gaining weight and is feeling better since getting much-needed dental work done. She’s been diagnosed with a grade 5 heart murmur by the cardiologist and started on a twice daily heart medication (pimobendan). She was recently started on the medication ursodiol after an incidental finding of biliary mineralization on thoracic radiographs. She’s a small Cavalier and weighs about 14 lbs. Her beautiful Cavalier coat is growing back in and she’s looking much healthier. She’s house trained with regular breaks and will let you know she needs to go out by pacing around.
CJ will do best in an adult home since kids can be a scary for her. She needs a fenced yard so she doesn’t have to go potty on leash, and so she can enjoy her safe outdoor space. She’s looking for a special home with a lot of patience and people who understand dogs that are anxious and slow to trust. She’s okay with gentle-natured dogs of similar size.
If you’d like to welcome CJ to your family, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously) and email rescue coordinator Melissa Cincotta at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.
