Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Georgie in LaCrosse, WI

Meet Georgie, a 6 month old happy-go-lucky Blenheim Cavalier. Georgie is a young, playful puppy who is ready to find his forever home. Georgie loves his people and hanging out with them. He is good with adults, kids and other dogs. He gets along great with his foster siblings, playing chase with them outside. In the house, he is a bit more calm. He has met cats, horses and chickens and has not had much of a reaction to any of them. He will need to be neutered at the appropriate time. He is crate trained, house trained and current on his heartworm, flea and tic medications. He is a healthy boy with no medical issues.

Georgie eats well and loves his treats. So far, he has learned “sit”. He would do well with more training or doggie daycare to help develop his social skills and to challenge him mentally. He does, however, display respect for other dogs. He is learning about toys and bones. He is bursting with the potential to be the perfect family companion. He will do fine either as an only dog or with a pack.

He walks well on the leash with a harness. He is a real “go with the flow” kind of guy and will acclimate easily into a new environment. He does display some typical puppy behaviors but he will settle down once he is neutered. He jumps occasionally and barks. Training will help resolve that. He is a very friendly guy who will outgrow his puppy tendencies and mature into a calm, loving dog. He seems older than his six months and has so much love to share.

Georgie would do best with an active family that has kids. Ideally, he should be in a house with a yard. It would be best if the yard is fenced, but it’s not a requirement. He is a bigger boy, weighing in at 22 pounds. He will thrive with a family that includes him in all their adventures and he will be a loyal companion. The sedentary life is not for Georgie. He is smart and still learning, but promises to be a terrific, easy-going, friendly, happy addition to the right family.

If you think your family would be a good fit for Georgie, please complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then please email Gail Jansen at cavalierrescueusawimn@gmail.com to let her know that you are interested and would like to be considered to be his forever family.

Latte in Bagdad, KY

Latte is a 3-year-old tri-color Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with an incredible journey. She was born blind, but once she entered rescue, everything changed. Latte received cataract surgery that gave her the gift of sight—and with it came a whole new dog.

Now able to see the world around her, Latte is curious, playful, and eager to explore. She has a sweet Cavalier nature paired with a touch of stubbornness that makes her both charming and entertaining. Watching her confidence grow as she discovers new sights has been truly special.

Latte will need ongoing eye care for the rest of her life, including eye drops (approximately $20 per month) and visits to a veterinary ophthalmologist every six months. She does well with her routine and will thrive with an adopter who is committed to maintaining her medical care.

Her ideal home is a calm, stable one. Latte should not live with cats, and she needs a family where someone is home most of the day to provide companionship and consistency. Latte would benefit from one-on-one training as she is still very puppy-like with her new lease on life. Her house training is in progress; she was house broken before her surgery, but now she is having accidents.

Latte is ready for her forever home—a place where she’ll be loved, supported, and celebrated for the resilient, joyful girl she is. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a remarkable story, Latte may be the one for you.

If you’d like to be considered for Latte’s forever home, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously), then email Kimberly Deman at kimberlyademan@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Jewel in Ithaca, NY

Meet Jewel, an incredibly sweet 4-year-old Blenheim girl. She came into rescue from a situation of severe neglect, but you would never be able to tell that based on her sweet temperament and incredible trust of people.

Jewel is a classic lap dog, and prefers more than anything to be sitting on or next to any person. She is being fostered with another Cavalier and they get along well. She also enjoys going to the dog park and meeting other small dogs; she can be quite playful with other dogs and especially likes to lead a chase. She also lives with 2 cats, and though she sometimes wants to chase them, they have learned to live together pretty peacefully.

Jewel was fairly sick from malnutrition and flea anemia at the time of her rescue. She was very underweight, weighing only 11 pounds. After getting her on a normal dog food, she was still having stomach issues and has since been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). She is on a prescription diet for this condition, and as long as she is fed only this diet, her disease is completely controlled. Her weight is up to 17 pounds now, and she still may gain a little more as she continues to put on muscle mass. Jewel was also diagnosed with a heart condition related to malnutrition, and is currently on medication for her heart – she will need follow-up with a cardiologist to determine if she needs this medication long-term.

Jewel came into rescue with no housetraining, but has been making good progress in that area with few accidents in the house. As of now, she doesn’t alert when she needs to go out, but as long as she is taken out on a regular schedule, she will go to the bathroom outside reliably. She prefers to go to the bathroom when she is off-leash, so a fenced in yard would be a plus. She has learned to walk on a harness and leash and enjoys leisurely strolls as well. Jewel is extremely food motivated in training, and in her foster home has learned the commands for “watch me”, “sit” and “down”.

Jewel will do best in a household with someone home most of the day, or with someone who can bring her to work, so she can be kept on a good housetraining schedule. She currently goes to work every day with her foster mom, and is a well-behaved employee! She would do well with a single person or a family, and has shown that she gets along with children as young as 5 years old. She would do well with other small dogs, but also would be happy being an only dog.

If you are interested in providing a forever home for this sweet girl who has had such a rough start in life, please complete our online application if you haven’t already, and then email Michelle Farnum at cavalierrescueny@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.
