Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Oscar in Los Altos Hills, CA

Hi! My name is Oscar. I’m a handsome, healthy Tri-color, male Cavalier. I weigh in at 10 lbs. I’m tiny! The breeder said on my paperwork ‘I’m 2 years old’ but the Vet said I’m more like 5 because of my teeth, so we will settle in the middle at 3.5 years old for sake of argument. My teeth look good now because I had a dental cleaning. I have the energy of a young pup, my Foster Mom said I’m playful and fun!

I came into rescue as a surrender from a breeder and I’m so happy to be a house puppy now but I’m learning the ropes!

My temperament is shy, submissive, wants to please and I don’t bark that much. I’m cuddly and I love other people and dogs. I’m not demanding at all. I don’t think little children would be good for me because I’m so submissive, so a house of loving older kids or adults would be what I would consider.

We have not cat tested me, so if you have a cat, you would need to be in a short driving distance to my Foster Mom so we could test it.

I walk on leash very well. I do not like a crate and I’m almost housebroken as long as you let me outside every 3-4 hours. Because of this, I am looking for a family who is retired or works from home to continue my potty training and teach me where to go.

Currently I’m being kept in a confined kitchen area when I cannot be watched and have not made a mistake yet.

My health is good. When I had my dental I had 8 teeth pulled and I got neutered. My heart is good but I may have a lingering ear infection. You will need to do a follow up ‘ear check up’ to continue with my needs.

Foster Mom says I may mark so keep an eye on me while I continue to learn. You can always put a belly band on me while you continue my training. I don’t use a doggy door so you need to let me out and give me treats when I potty outside like a good boy.

I can be a bit of an escape artist around gates and out the door. So we will require a fully fenced yard for my safety. I have no perception of heights, so could jump off terraces or over low fences, so we are requiring your fence be at minimum 5 feet high and you have a yard without a pool. I can be a couch potato, but I love to play with other dogs.

I eat breakfast and dinner by myself because I eat slowly. I’m not a picky eater.

I’m allowed on furniture and love to sleep on the couch or better yet your bed if you’ll let me.

I like exercise and have been going on two, 1 mile walks per day, it’s awesome! I could probably do more!

Cheerio in Paso Robles, CA

Hi! My name is Cheerio. I’m a healthy, handsome, 4-year-old Blenheim Cavalier with the cutest freckles on my nose! In fact, I’m so handsome, my breeder had plans to show me, but at 26 pounds, it turns out I’m too big! That’s okay – my foster parents think I’m the perfect size. In fact, they think I’m perfect, period.

I’m a loving, happy dog with the perfect balance of playful pup and cuddle bug. I’m great on a leash and love to take brisk walks around the neighborhood. I’m curious about everything, and my foster mom says I’m the cutest when I perk up my ears and try to figure out what’s going on in the world.

I’m great around other dogs – I currently live with 4 senior pups — but I’m not sure about cats or kids since there aren’t any in my foster home. We think I’d be okay with older, calm kids because I’m so friendly and sweet.

My health is good. I had a dental and some extractions, but I have plenty of teeth left. I was also neutered. I am heart healthy.

I’m house broken, although I won’t let you know when I need to go out, so you need to be home most of the time so I can learn my new poop schedule and be taken out regularly. I mostly take care of my business on my walks so a family with a strong walker, that is retired or works from home, who can exercise me would be perfect. I would do well in a home with other pups or by myself where I can get 100% of your lap and attention.

When it’s time to settle down, I’m an expert! I love to lay on the couch or in my bed, and if there’s a lap or a pillow for my head, that’s even better! I go to bed at night when told, and I sleep all night until my foster parents say it’s time to get up. Then I’m excited to see them and I’m ready for the day!

I love to be petted, hugged, and given lots of attention.

Lily in Reading, PA

Hi, my name is Lily. Sometimes I’m called Silly Lily because I love to do quirky things that make my foster mom laugh. I’m a 7-year old tricolor girl that was used as a breed dog on a commercial farm in Lancaster County. I’m now out of a cage and have found the love of freedom and the fun of being a sweet loving girl.

I’m up-to-date on my vaccinations and was recently spayed and microchipped. I am mostly deaf, but otherwise I am healthy. I weigh 25 pounds.

I get along perfectly with my foster sister~she’s a Shih Tzu, I love her, and I’m happy to meet and greet the neighborhood pets too.

My nose is as sharp as a tack and I can smell my dinner being made and if a skunk is anywhere near the house, I can smell that stinky odor, even in the middle of the night and will let out a bark or 2.

I love going on long walks and I do exceptionally well with a leash. If it’s a rainy day, forget about it ~ I don’t want to mess up my beautiful coat. Give me lots of belly rubs and petting, ah, perfect!

When I’m not relaxing on the sofa, I’ll be following you from room to room. I sleep in my crate at night and I’m comfy cozy there, sometimes I do need a treat to coax me in as well as a treat when I come home from a walk. Car rides are fun for me and kids are super great, but not sure about cats because all I do now is stare at them and they run away ~ scaredy-cats! I am house trained if taken out on regularly.

I am used to being in a home with a family who is home a lot. A fenced-in yard would be preferred because I love to chase squirrels.

If you think you would be a good family for me and you live within a reasonable driving distance of Reading, PA please fill out an application if you haven’t already and then contact Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) and asked to be considered as my new family.

Sierra in Jackson Springs, NC

Sierra is the sweetest, most loving, devoted dog you will ever meet. As a 5-year-old female breeder surrender, she had several litters of puppies in her former life and is now spayed. Sierra is very healthy overall and is heart clear, but she is deaf and was quite heavy when she came into rescue (28 lbs). Her diet plan is working well and she has lost about five pounds; her target weight is 20 lbs. Sierra has had extensive dental work and only has front teeth and a few molars left. She tested positive and has been treated for Lyme disease, and a retest is recommended in September.

Sierra’s hearing loss hasn’t seemed to cause her any issues. She quickly learned the routine with her foster family and fits in perfectly with other dogs. If she is sound asleep, a gentle stroke will wake her, then she quickly assesses the situation and joins in the fun. Since she can’t hear, you could call her whatever name you choose, as long as you call her for dinner! She responds very well to motions and signals, and in a multi dog household she will follow the others wherever they go.

Sierra is very reliably housetrained and has not had an accident in the time she has been with her foster family. Close supervision in her new home is recommended (as would be appropriate for any new dog in a household) until she learns where she is supposed to potty. She sleeps quietly in a crate at night but would also love snuggling with her people in bed!

Sierra has not shown much interest in toys, but she is a big paper thief! Tissues, toilet paper, junk mail–she does love paper! She will happily give back what she has stolen when you ask. She loves car rides and going to new places. A trip to the local Farmers Market was a real highlight. She greeted everyone (dogs, kids, and adults) like they were her long-lost friends. This is a confident, outgoing, happy, but quite calm dog who loves to trot around the fenced yard, leashed walks, and going on new adventures. But what Sierra wants most in life is to lie on the couch with her head on a family member’s lap while softly snoring. She will shadow her people around the house, sometimes getting underfoot, always wanting to know where they are.

Sierra would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time. Because of her hearing loss, a fenced yard for her safety is required. She could also use a like size well-mannered canine companion or two for her to buddy up with and take cues from. A home with older respectful dog-savvy children would be ok, but not one with younger children that could startle her. Her new owners need to be committed to continuing her weight loss journey and keeping her active and socialized. She has not been tested around cats.

If you are interested in adopting Sierra and live within a reasonable driving distance to Jackson Springs NC, please complete our online adoption application, if you haven’t already done so, and then notify Angie Hansing of your interest by emailing her at nccavalierrescuemom@gmail.com.

Lewie in Gettysburg, PA

Meet Lewie! He is a very happy Ruby boy that loves to meet people and go to new places. He was given to rescue when he was retired from a commercial breeder in Lancaster County. Lewie isn’t typical of most commercial breeder surrenders- he isn’t afraid of people or loud noises and took to a leash right away.

When he first came into rescue he was very obese weighing 38.2 pounds and could only walk a few feet and had to sit down to rest. As of mid-June he lost nearly 5 pounds. His ideal weight should be between 23-25 lbs, so it is important that his new family keeps him on a healthy diet and continues to work in his weight loss.

Lewie is very smart and has learned sit, down, and then rolls over on his back for a belly rub! He is very helpful around the house too. If he sees a shoe, shirt, sock , toys or any other clothes on the floor, he will pick it up and bring it to you and gladly give it to you when asked.

He loves to go on walks, but needs a little more encouragement to walk correctly. He loves car rides, but has always been in a crate for safety reasons. He sleeps in his crate at night with no problem, but would be very happy to sleep with his family.

Lewie gets along well with his foster sisters, but doesn’t seem to care if they are not around him. He is more attached to his foster parents, following them all over, and needs to have them in sight all the time. He does have some separation anxiety if he cannot get to Mom and Dad in another part of the house, but is OK when they leave the house.

An active family with children would be ideal since he is always on the go. A fenced yard would be nice, but not mandatory, but would need to be walked frequently. He is a very good listener and comes when he is called. He loves to play fetch, if you throw a toy inside or out, he will retrieve it and bring it back to you.

He is not quite there yet with potty training, but with consistency and frequent outings he will be reliable.

Lewie has recently been neutered and up to date on his vaccines. If you are interesting in adopting this sweet, active boy, please fill out an application and email Melissa MacMullin cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as a family for Lewie.

Maggie in Henderson, NV

Hello everyone! I am Margaret Rose, Maggie to my friends and family. I have been in foster care for awhile now and I would like to find my forever home. I know RIGHT!

Well let me start by telling you a little about myself; I am a female Blenheim Cavalier King Charles, I am 13 years old and I have a lot of energy, I like short walks, I love car rides, I like to explore the yard, but would like to know my person is near by, otherwise I go back in the house to cuddle.

My foster mom, says that I am very respectful of people and the home. I don’t potty in the house, I will bark to let you know that I need to relieve myself. I love people, I don’t jump on them, not even the little ones, I just wait by their feet to get a pet.

I get along well with the foster family dogs, I sleep on a dog bed, I don’t jump on furniture, but love being picked up to sit on your lap for pets. My foster mom says that I can be left alone without worry about messes or destructive behavior. I am submissive, but friendly with everyone.

I want a forever home with people who will take me for walks and car rides and just lavish love on me and I will lavish love on you. I’d love someone around much of the time and other dogs would be great. I’m fine with a big or small family and my foster mom says I’m very adaptable.

I do take medication daily, Vetmedin 5.0 mg, 1/2 tablet by mouth every 12 hours. I get fed in the morning and early evening. Right now I enjoy Royal Canin Kibble and Pure Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin & Stomach wet food (Salmon & Rice or Lamb & Oatmeal). I don’t have stomach issues, but one of the other dogs does, so I eat what they eat.

If I am a good match for you, please don’t wait, come and get me now, so we can enjoy our years together. Love you already, Maggie.
