Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Phoebe in Davis, CA

Here is Phoebe with her new family…

Phoebe is a lovely little, 7 year old (dob 1/22/19), tricolor Cavalier who was surrendered by an owner moving to assisted living. She is as sweet as the Oreo cookie she resembles! She loves everybody she meets, eagerly looking for pets and adoration. She would make a great therapy dog with a little guidance.

She gets along great with her fur siblings and wants to say hi to dogs she passes on walks. She loves her walks and walks well on the leash. She doesn’t play with balls or toys. She is more of a couch surfer.

Phoebe travels well in the car and would be a perfect companion for errands, outdoor dining, visits and vacations. She is not a barker but is a talker especially when she is excited.

Phoebe is a healthy girl with a recent dental and up to date vaccinations. She is a few pounds overweight but who doesn’t have a few extra pounds after the holidays. She has a healthy heart with no heart murmur.

She would fit into any loving family. Kids or no kids, dog sibling or only dog, but does require someone is home most of the day to give her loving. She gets very attached to her people and just wants to be with them.

If Phoebe sounds like the girl for you, please fill out an online application and email Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com

Parker in Dallas, TX

Here is Parker with his new family…

Meet Parker – A Resilient and Loving Soul Looking for His Forever Home

Parker is a beautiful Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart as gentle as his gaze. His life hasn’t been easy – he’s endured more than his fair share of hardship. This handsome boy is somewhere between 8 and 11 years old.

The first five years of Parker’s life were spent in a puppy mill, followed by time in private homes. He was born with luxating patellas in both legs (dislocated knees), which caused him significant pain and made walking difficult. When his previous owner could no longer manage his medical needs, she made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to Cavalier Rescue USA.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of this organization and its donors, Parker received corrective surgery and today, he is pain-free and thriving! He has fully recovered and now enjoys running and playing with his foster siblings. His favorite pastime? Chasing his furry friends and playing with their toys. Parker is heart clear, and his bright, clear eyes sparkle with intelligence.

While Parker is healthy and happy, he has experienced two seizures over five months in foster care. He now takes anti-seizure medication three times daily and will need to remain on this regimen. He is completely house-trained and has never had an accident indoors, though he doesn’t alert when he needs to go out, so he’ll need gentle guidance and regular potty breaks.

Parker’s personality is sweet and gentle. He gets along well with other dogs, though he hasn’t been exposed to cats or children in foster care. Because of his background and timid nature, Parker needs time to build trust. He may retreat when meeting strangers and will likely seek out a safe spot, often a cozy couch, where he can observe and slowly learn to feel secure. This process takes months, not days, so his forever family must be patient and understanding, allowing Parker to adjust at his own pace.

He will thrive in a calm, quiet home, as sudden movements and loud noises can startle him. However, he’s perfectly fine with normal household sounds like TV or conversation. Parker would do best with someone who is home most of the time and with another small dog, as he learns and takes cues from canine companions. For his transition to go smoothly, we’re seeking adopters in the DFW area so his foster mom can assist.

If you think you would be able to provide him a loving, supportive home please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest in this wonderful, special boy.

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.

Leo in Columbus, OH

Here is Leo with his new family…

This handsome little guy is Leo. He is a charming 4 year old Blenheim male who came to Cavalier Rescue USA when his owner was no longer able to care for him.

He is energetic and playful at times, and calm, snuggly and full of kisses at other times. He is so eager to please that he generally lets you decide the mood. He listens very well, plays nicely, and can entertain himself independently with chew toys. He is quiet and well behaved when his foster mom works from home.

Leo walks very well on a leash, but loves to run fast. Therefore, he would really like a home with a fenced in back yard where he can zoom. He is housebroken, well trained (including reliable recall) but can get very excited by squirrels and other dogs. He was raised as an only pup, but gets along great with his foster mom’s other dogs, both of whom are very relaxed. Before coming to us from a family member’s home, he was a little overwhelmed by active louder dogs and he is startled by loud noises. A calm, quieter environment is probably best for Leo. He does love to play, however, so older kids would be just great. Leo would do best in a home where someone was home most of the time.

This adorable 20 pound boy is heart-healthy, with luxating patellas in both knees that have not yet required treatment. He has mild seasonal allergies treated with OTC Benadryl.

Please read Our Process and FAQ sections. If your home is a match for Leo, please complete the online application if you haven’t already done so, and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net Online Application

Sugar in Prairie Village, KS

Sugar is an incredibly sweet 6-year-old Blenheim girl looking for her forever home. Her previous owners had health issues and then moved into memory care. During that time, family members looked after Sugar. A few months later, her original owners passed away. No one in the family was able to offer enough time and attention to care for Sugar, and they wanted to find a good home for her. The family contacted Cavalier Rescue USA, and she was released to our care.

It would be difficult to find a Cavalier that is more good-natured than Sugar. She’s an absolute sweetheart and has been well-behaved at her foster home. She thinks the furniture is a comfortable place to sit and relax, and she absolutely loves to snuggle on the easy chair or the couch. At the vet’s office, while waiting in the exam room, she’ll jump up on a chair and sit there patiently. Sugar is polite and has good manners.

During her initial vet exam, we learned that Sugar has a grade 4 heart murmur. Besides needing a dental, Sugar had a fleshy growth under her tongue, causing her to drool. We scheduled the dental with our vet. Her teeth were cleaned, and the oral mass was removed and sent to pathology. Biopsy results indicated the mass was cancer, likely originating around the root of the tooth, near the bone. Our vet referred Sugar to a Veterinary Dentistry specialist for a consultation, and the specialist recommended surgery to remove the affected area, including a small front portion of her lower jaw. This procedure was Sugar’s best option and the only way to eliminate the cancer.

Sugar had the surgery in early December, and we were relieved to hear the good news that the surgery was successful. The biopsy report confirmed clean margins leaving no evidence of cancer. At her follow-up appointment, the vet said that Sugar was healing nicely and everything looked great.

The cost of Sugar’s surgery was possible thanks to the support of Cavalier Rescue USA and many wonderful donations. We are so grateful to those who donated funds for her surgery! Through the generosity of the organization and those who donated, Sugar is now cancer-free. She has recovered from her surgery and is back to eating regular dog food. You can hardly tell any difference in her appearance – she still has that sweet, adorable Cavalier face.

Sugar has seen a veterinary cardiologist and had an echocardiogram. The cardiologist prescribed Vetmedin which helps her feel her best. It was recommended that she follows up with the cardiologist in a year. She’s good about taking her pills, especially if they’re hidden in her food. She’s a good eater and LOVES her food, and she will bark or stand on her back legs if her food isn’t prepared fast enough.

Sugar is reliably house-trained, and she enjoys exploring the fenced backyard with foster parents’ dogs and sometimes likes to roll around on a soft patch of grass. She is hard of hearing but has learned some hand motions. When foster parents come home, she usually sleeps through the commotion of other dogs barking. Then she’ll wake up a few minutes later and go outside with everyone.

She’s definitely a Velcro dog, and she follows her foster parents around the house. She always wants to be near you, so we are looking for a home where she would not be left alone for long periods. She’s a very calm dog who gets along great with other dogs, though she would also be fine as an only pet. Sugar has an exceptionally sweet temperament – she is gentle with children and gets along with everyone.

Sugar weighs 23 pounds, and she is spayed and has recovered from her oral surgery. She’s micro-chipped, up to date on vaccinations, and current on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Sugar has a gentle, affectionate nature and is looking for a family to love.

Sugar is being fostered in Prairie Village, KS. If you think you might be the right person or family for her, please fill out our online application (if you have not done so already) – then contact Deborah Barnes at deborah@smarnes.com to let her know of your interest.
