Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Camilla in Wheeling, WVA

Camilla is a sweet, quiet girl who was a breeder/owner surrender. She’s 6 years old, born on 12/12/2019. Camilla is healthy, up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped. Since coming to rescue, she has had a dental exam and has been spayed.

Camilla came into rescue when there was snow on the ground and the snow just kept coming. She is always quick to run out in the yard no matter how high the snow is. When the temperature kept dropping the foster mom introduced Camilla to a sweater. She wasn’t sure about this clothing at first but when she knew she was warmer with it on she would sit and wait for her turn and put a paw up to get the sweater on.

Camilla walks well on a leash, but because of the weather, that hasn’t happened too much. She loves her foster mom, follows her around and is very content to lay beside her and the other dogs in her foster home. She doesn’t have a long coat, but her tail is always wagging. Nothing seems to frighten her and she rarely barks. She loves car rides and is always a perfect lady. She sleeps in a crate at night and if her foster mom has to be away for a period of time. She has never damaged anything when she’s not in the crate.

Camilla has the sweetest personality and loves everyone. She gets along great with dogs and cats and people of all ages. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard and someone home most of the time.

Buddy in Broken Arrow, OK

Here’s a photo of Buddy with his new family.

Hi! I’m Buddy!

If you are looking for a fun friend, I’m right here!

At just a bit over one year old, there is a lot of puppy charm left in me. I make people laugh with my antics.

For example, I love to watch horses on TV. I fly around the room chasing them until they disappear behind the big screen… but I’ll also curl myself tightly against your elbow while you read a book.

I’m dark and handsome, but I have a pretty white blaze on my chest. Trust me when I tell you it makes me easier to find in the dark!

I also have this amazing mustache that peeps out under my extra-long, silky ears. My foster Dad says it’s the cutest of my cute features.

I’m a curious, happy fellow who loves to play, explore and learn new things.

I might seem a little overwhelmed in new situations, but if you are there to encourage me, I’ll be comfortable in no time. I pick up routines quickly.

Sometimes I do things a little differently from other dogs. If I got outside, for example, my foster Mom says I’ll come to “Bye, Buddy” much better than “Come.” It’s still the right decision, isn’t it …as long as I show up?

I’m looking for an active family who will include me in their adventures such as walks, hikes and training classes. I have “potential,” whatever that is.

You see, I came from what my foster parents call an “unfortunate situation.” They’ve spent the last few months building my confidence and getting me healthy. Now I’m ready to learn new behaviors and some tricks, please.

I had a skin condition that made me really itchy and ruptured eardrums from infections. After some time with a veterinary dermatologist and good medications, I’m now comfortable and I can hear a bag opening three rooms away.

I might need some special baths to keep my skin in good condition. I think of that as a spa day, because I come out feeling so refreshed!

I walk well with my harness and leash, but I’d like to sniff the trees and other interesting stuff for a minute.

Do you have a good supply of sticks for me to chew and carry around as my prize possessions? We could hunt for them together on our walks!

Update: We had a very qualified family waiting for the right dog for a long time. They met Buddy, and he was adopted immediately.

Sir Duncan (of Hines) Jenks, OK

Here is Duncan with his new family…

Duncan here. Thank you for visiting my site! I am a posh 4-year-old tricolor male. My human parents got me when I was five months old and have taken wonderful loving care of me since then. Their health has changed and they felt it would be better for me to find a great new home. As my name states, Foster daddy thinks I was born and fed in a cake mix factory due to my “size”. I am like a big cinnamon roll: sweet and all around warm. Ok, yes, I agree with daddy, at 33 lbs I do need to lose some weight. He has me on a diet, and walks me around the neighborhood daily, I’m up to 1/2 mile in the hilly part of Tulsa. I don’t tug on the leash, just keep in step with him politely.

I was trained at a puppy school in Edmond Oklahoma, to sit, stop, stay, lay, and go when it’s time for bed. I love snuggling on your lap, having you scratch my head, and lay on my back and get my tummy rubbed. I enjoy playing ball, but I will tend to keep it away from you and you get to fetch it for me. I’m not into chewy toys or socks so I’m safe by myself. I’m gentle with kids but tend to get excited when meeting big people. Foster dad is working with me to not jump up on guests.

I went to the vet and had a great report on my overall health. I am up to date on all vaccines and on preventative medication for heartworm and fleas/ticks. I had a “cherry eye” repaired in my right eye, and my teeth were cleaned. I am so handsome now! I am neutered and have a microchip to find me if I get lost. I get a monthly allergy shot and will need an eye drop in my right eye for dry eye for the rest of my life. I have a sensitive spot on my back when I’m picked up. They took an Xray of it and everything looked fine. I will still hop up and down from the couch!

I love to be combed and brushed, hugged and kissed. I sleep on a couch, floor, your lap, or on my pillow. But, at night all I desire is a big blanket on the floor next to your bed. Point me to it and say “it’s bed time!” And I will circle down like an order of curly fries in a combo meal and you won’t hear from me until you wake up the next morning. Just walk me to the back door and I’ll do my morning routine. I am totally house trained and a true gentleman.

I look forward to finding my final family. Bringing you love, joy and lots of snuggles! If you are interested in Duncan, please fill out our application if you have not done so already, and then send an email of your interest to Janis Stauffer at okstauffer@aol.com.

Henry in Middletown, PA

Here is Henry with his new family…

Henry is a handsome Blenheim boy who came into rescue when his owner was unable to care for his dietary needs. When Henry came to us, he had a long history of some digestive problems. The first step was to give his tummy a little rest and relaxation and then introduce him to some good rejuvenating probiotics and a new diet. Henry responded well and has had no problems in several months, but he does do better with a fresh food diet. He is a bright, affectionate, and happy boy.

Henry is a tall and long Cavalier, but 21 pounds is a perfect weight for him. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. His teeth are in great shape and he does not mind having them brushed. His heart is sound and full of love.

Henry is a true gentleman. He has been a complete joy in his foster home. He is respectful of the two household female Cavaliers at all times. Henry loves to play fetch with balls and stuffies, and a game of chase is great fun. He is good about sharing and lets the girls win. Afterwards he likes to share a dog bed or the couch for a good snuggle and nap. He loves to eat his food, but never tries to steal from another’s bowl. He is respectful to a cat, although curious.

Henry is always up for a ride in the car, a shopping trip to the toy store, a visit to the Senior Center to meet new friends, or even a trip to see the doggy doctor. He embraces it all with a wagging tail. Henry dances when he sees his leash. He walks nicely on a leash and responds readily to his name when called. Henry knows sit, down, come and stay and he is crate trained. His favorite activity, however, is cuddling with his people. You can take a nice, long nap with this boy!

There is nothing that Henry doesn’t enjoy. Any attention given to him makes him happy, even a bath or brushing or clipping claws. He’s up for anything. He is truly a kind and pleasant gentle dog. He has always had another dog to live with but we believe that he would love to be an only dog also. He will be happy as long as he has someone to be with most of the day and night.

If you think you would be a good family for Henry and live within a reasonable driving distance of Middletown, PA, please let us know! Make sure to have a current application on file and email (please don’t call or text) Melissa at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as a family for Henry.

Rusty in Middletown, PA

Here is the pup with his new family…

Meet Rusty, a handsome gentleman looking for his forever home.

If you are a fan of bigger Cavaliers, then Rusty is the boy for you. Rusty is estimated to be about three years old and has all of the typical Cavalier traits, but in a larger, taller package.

Rusty was living with a Good Samaritan who had a soft spot for dogs in need. However, the Samaritan’s landlord was not happy about an extra dog, so rescue was contacted.

While in rescue Rusty was vaccinated, microchipped and was neutered.

Rusty is in good health. His teeth are in great condition as well. He has lost weight since coming into rescue, but at 28 pounds, he should try to lose a couple more pounds to get to his ideal weight.

Rusty is house trained and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate or in a dog bed.

Rusty walks nicely on a leash, especially when a harness is used.

He wasn’t a fan of being brushed at first but he has gotten more tolerant. He is working on learning basic commands.

Sudden movements and loud noises can frighten Rusty, so a home without young children is best for him.

He is a fan of snuggling next to the humans on the couch and often lays across your lap.

Rusty’s favorite thing is a belly rub. He will often flop over and expose his belly and look at you with pleading eyes and hope you get the hint that he is due for a belly rub. And don’t think that once a day is enough… this boy needs belly rubs several times a day!

Rusty is a sweet, snuggly TV watching buddy who is obsessed with belly rubs. If you think that you are a good fit for Rusty and live within a reasonable driving distance of Middletown, PA please let us know. Make sure to have our application completed, if you have not already done so. Then email (please don’t call or text) Melissa at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as a family for Rusty.

Princeton in Mechanicsburg, PA

Here is the pup with his new family…

Meet Princeton- a happy, energetic 11 month old Ruby puppy. He is tall, lean and handsome (Think John Wayne.), with a beautiful deep chestnut coat. When you think of Princeton- the first word that comes to mind is fun, the second is loving. Princeton came into rescue from a loving family, but the other dog in the home was constantly picking on him. When he first came into rescue, he was quite timid but quickly blossomed in his foster home. He enjoys the company of other Cavaliers and especially loves to play with his 4 year old foster sister as well as the resident cat.

Princeton is still very much a puppy with puppy energy. He needs regular exercise. Walks are fine, but the absolute joy of his life is fetching the frisbee. Daily play time of 30 to 45 minutes of frisbee fetching and tug-o-war really keeps him well mannered. He is also tall for a Cavalier and has the potential to reach things that he should not have access to. However, he understands the word “No” and normally obeys. He is very smart and is easily trained. He loves his yard and chasing the birds.

Princeton is still timid when meeting new people or going to new locations. He will relax with lots of positive reinforcement. He does bark when he sees people, other dogs and of course, squirrels, but he is working on being redirected. House-training has been going well, but he wears a belly band due to occasional marking. However he was recently neutered and that behavior is decreasing. After all the play and fun time is over, Princeton is happy to curl up in your lap for a nice petting session/snooze. He loves attention and actually can give hugs! He is truly a Velcro dog and is not really happy unless he is by your side.

Princeton weighs 20 lbs. His health is excellent. He is up to date with vaccinations and microchipped. The ideal home for Princeton would be one with someone home most of the time. He is crate trained and will go in his crate for meals and when left alone. Princeton would also enjoy a dog companion to play with as long as it is a calmer dog. He gets along fine with the cat but has not been kid tested. If there are kids in the home, we would prefer that they be older, respectful children since Princeton can be shy. Princeton is also a strong, young dog with lots of energy. He really needs a puppy manners class and someone committed to training and exercising him. There are lots of areas he would excel in, such as FastCAT, scent work and Rally obedience. Princeton is a special boy.

If you think you would be a good family for Princeton and live within a reasonable driving distance of Mechanicsburg, PA, please let us know! Make sure to have a current application on file and email Melissa (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) and ask to be considered as a family for Princeton (please don’t call or text).
