Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Henry in Enid, OK

Here is Henry with his new family…

Henry is a 9-year-old male Cavalier that was released by his owner’s family after health issues prevented him from caring for him. He is a bit overweight and has lost a few pounds with his foster since he arrived. Henry is a calm, sweet and loyal boy who will follow his person everywhere.

Henry was seen by a vet and brought up to date on vaccines, had a dental and lost 6 teeth, and is on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. He is healthy with strong knees and heart. He is neutered. He also has a microchip.

Henry enjoys respectful children and will run after a squeaky toy when thrown. He loves riding in the car to pick up the kids from school and is starting to walk in the neighborhood for exercise. His favorite place is on the couch, or next to his person. He has always slept on the big bed with his owner and insisted on that now. Apart from a little snoring, he doesn’t move all night.

Henry is house and crate trained. He will go in the crate when left alone periodically and when strangers (like repairmen) enter. He is protective of his person and will bark at new people. Otherwise, he is very sweet, gentle and loving. He is fine with other dogs but has been an only dog all of his life. He prefers a quiet routine as the only dog.

We have a qualified applicant who has fallen in love with Henry and he has been adopted.

Chloe and Piper in Tulsa, OK

Here are the pups with their new mom…

We are Chloe and Piper, 3-year-old girls that came to rescue from an overcrowded breeding facility with very minimal human contact. We were very timid and scared at first but have made great progress after realizing there is love (and treats!) with them. We found that when the girls were put together, they progressed quickly, giving each other more confidence and better overall adjustment. It is important that they stay together so we are offering them as a pair.

Chloe is the sweetest, cutest girl with that magazine cover quality Cavalier face and markings! If you’re lucky, she’ll come up and kiss your face so long as you don’t try to put a leash on her at the same time! She loves a schedule, does not jump on furniture, can work a doggy door, and is perfectly potty trained – never had an accident! She also sleeps like a champ through the night on a doggy bed on the floor in her own room with her friend Piper and other dogs around her. She is not ever locked in a crate, but she does enjoy going into an open-door crate to rest or get some alone time.

Piper is the sweetest, calmest petite little girl with that quintessential regal Cavalier disposition! Her favorite treat is a turkey tendon, and she’ll take that right out of your hand any day! Piper is the PERFECT house guest. She never barks, she loves a schedule, does not jump on furniture, and is perfectly potty trained – never had an accident! She also sleeps through the night on a doggy bed on the floor in her own room with her friend Chloe. She is not ever locked in a crate, but she does enjoy going into an open-door crate to rest or get some alone time.

The girls are up to date on all vaccinations, are microchipped, spayed, and on preventative for heartworm and fleas. Piper had a serious uterine infection and was spayed immediately. This probably saved her life. She is still a small girl at only 10 pounds, but she is smart and learning new things rapidly! They are heart clear and structurally sound with good hips and knees. They had their teeth cleaned and were treated for ear infections.

Chloe LOVES being around other friendly dogs but is still learning to trust kids and people. She has not been exposed to cats, but she has been around reactive bossy dogs, and does very well. She does not react to other dog’s growls; she simply walks away without engaging. Her favorite thing in the whole world is…FOOD! She will eat out of other dog’s bowls too if you let her – nom nom nom is her middle name! If you have patience and can appreciate the poor beginning this girl had, you’ll reap rewards of providing such a cute sweetheart with a wonderful safe home for the rest of her days.

Piper LOVES to sit on a soft doggy bed with a raised trim to rest her head and watch all her loyal royal subjects pass the time. She is the lowest maintenance dog we have ever known. She eats when it’s dinner time, she potties when you let her out, and she goes right back to her bed to sleep the day away. She has not been exposed to cats, but she has been around reactive bossy dogs and does very well. She does not react to other dog’s growls; she simply walks away without engaging. If you have patience and can appreciate the poor beginning this girl had, you’ll reap rewards of providing such a precious low maintenance sweetheart with a wonderful safe home for the rest of her days.

This delightful pair has just been adopted to a great applicant from our wait list.

Monroe in Rogersville, MO

Here is the pup with his new family…

Meet Monroe! Monroe is a three-year-old Blenheim, sweet-natured, easy-going boy who loves to cuddle. Monroe’s birthday is March 5, 2023.

Although Monroe was rescued from a breeder where he didn’t receive the care and attention he deserves, he has a heart full of love.

He loves being a member of the family and playing with his Cavalier housemates. He loves his ears scratched and lots of cuddles.

Monroe is an active dog who plays with toys, chews on bones and chases balls. Anytime you squeak his toy, Monroe comes running! Toss a ball and he happily goes after it, and brings it back to you, repeatedly!

Anything can be a toy to Monroe, including personal items from the laundry basket. He doesn’t chew on them. He just likes to embarrass you by leaving them in the living room.

Monroe’s happy place is around people, and he does bark in protest if left him by himself. However, the complaining only lasts for a few minutes and then he settles down. Monroe wants you to know he would rather not be left behind!

Sometimes his foster Mom will give him a yummy treat or bone with peanut butter to lick when she leaves the house. In this case, there is no protesting from Monroe. He loves treats!

During quiet times, Monroe is a snuggler and nestles as close as he can to you. If he cannot get close, he will find a spot to lay down next to you. At bedtime, Monroe goes willingly into a crate and sleeps all night.

In the morning, he enjoys a snuggle in bed. He knows how to use the doggy steps to get up on the bed, and doesn’t hesitate to climb them if it means curling up with his foster Mom.

Monroe is a quick learner who will come when called and walk politely on a leash. However, the outside world is still new to Monroe and he may be a bit skittish when he encounters something new.

Monroe has a high food drive and wants to please, which will make training easier. If a correction is needed, Monroe responds well to a firm voice. He promptly stops what he is doing and looks to you for direction.

Monroe is potty trained and reliable on a schedule. He can be trusted for up to four hours inside. Accidents in the house are rare. However, a regular schedule and supervision are necessary while Monroe acclimates to the household routines of his forever home.

Monroe is healthy, weighs sixteen pounds and is up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is microchipped, neutered and had a dental cleaning.

At the time of his surgery, Monroe had an ear infection, and subsequently completed a round of antibiotics. His heartworm test was negative, and he is on a monthly preventative for ticks, fleas and heartworm.

Monroe will make an ideal companion for active individuals and families who have the time to devote to him. Monroe will do best in a home with established routines and another easy-going dog.

If you can provide Monroe his loving home, please fill out our online application if you have not already done so. Then email Sarah at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Monroe.

Toby in Nashville, TN

Here is Toby with his new family…

Say hello to Toby! Toby is a 1-year-old Chocolate & Tan Cavapoo born 2/28/2025. Toby has a heart as rich as his beautiful coloring and a personality that will instantly win you over. Weighing 30 pounds, Toby is a unique “reverse F1b,” meaning he is 75% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and 25% Poodle, giving him a truly one-of-a-kind look to match his lovable nature. With his ever-wagging tail and bright, happy spirit, Toby brings joy wherever he goes.

Toby was surrendered due to a change in his family’s circumstances, through no fault of his own. He is the definition of a “velcro dog.” He absolutely adores his people and wants to be by your side at all times – whether that’s following you from room to room, curling up next to you on the couch, or snuggling in close at bedtime. He is incredibly affectionate and generous with his kisses, always ready to remind you just how much he loves you. While he may get a little excited when greeting you after time apart, he quickly settles into a calm, easygoing companion who is happiest simply relaxing at home with his humans.

Toby is also great with children and would thrive in a home with kids. He has a gentle, social nature and enjoys being part of the action, making him a wonderful family companion who wants to be included in everyday life.

Toby has a naturally curious personality and is very observant – he enjoys watching the world around him, keeping an eye on people, and paying close attention to new sounds and activity in the home. It just means you may need to keep a watchful eye on him at times as his curious nature can lead him to investigate things he shouldn’t! He has a playful side as well and will happily entertain himself by chewing on toys, especially when he’s in the mood for a little fun.

Toby also loves other dogs and truly enjoys having canine companionship. He would do wonderfully in a home with another mild-mannered dog who can be both a playmate and a source of comfort. Toby does experience some separation anxiety, and having a canine sibling helps boost his confidence and ease those feelings when his people are away.

In foster care, Toby has started learning basic manners like “sit,” “off,” and “stay.” He’s a smart boy who is eager to please, but he will need an adopter committed to continuing his training and reinforcing positive behaviors to help him become his very best self. He is already crate-trained and fully house-trained, giving him a strong foundation to build on. Toby enjoys going for walks, exploring new surroundings, and is a fantastic, calm car rider.

Toby is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. While in foster care, he was also successfully treated for an ear infection and is now healthy and comfortable.

While Toby may be a bigger boy, his personality is all Cavalier – gentle, loving, playful, and deeply devoted. He is the kind of dog who forms a strong bond with his people and will be a loyal companion through and through. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who will happily be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Toby may just be the perfect match.

Toby is ready to find a home where he can continue learning, be showered with love, and spend his days close to his favorite people. In return, he promises a lifetime of companionship, loyalty, and endless tail wags.

If your family feels like a good fit for Toby, please complete our adoption application if you haven’t already and then email Liz Nigh, Coordinator of Tennessee, at lizcavalierusa@gmail.com to express your interest. Be sure to include your city and state of residence in the email. Both steps are required to ensure you are considered.

Copper in Henrico, VA

Here is Copper with his new family…

Copper is a young puppy born 02/14/2026 who is looking for his new best friends. Copper is bursting with personality and charm. He sees little he fears, and lives by the motto “do it now and ask questions later.”

Copper is at that amazing puppy phase where everything is worth exploring, including shoes, furniture, and your patience. He will need lots of dedicated time for training and a fair amount of patience as he learns.

At his foster home, Copper has gotten the hang of potty training and sleeping in his crate at night, and when the family is away. He walks well on his leash. He loves meal times and treats as well as all his toys. He is a very quick learner and has already shown good signs of learning his manners.

Copper was born with a hernia that will need to be repaired when he is neutered at 9 months of age.

If you’re looking for a perfectly behaved dog, he’s not there yet. If you’re looking for a loving, hilarious, loyal companion you can raise and bond with, he might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Franklin in Northville, MI

Here is Franklin with his new family…

Love me, love me, love me! This is the anthem for handsome Franklin, a 3-year old male Blenheim Cavalier. Franklin is the kind of dog who instantly steals your heart the moment you meet him. Weighing 22 pounds, he is a big blend of sweet, gentle, and devoted. Whether curled up beside you, following you from room to room, or greeting you with excitement after a short time away, Franklin lives for connection. He came into rescue through no fault of his own when his family could no longer care for him after a divorce. He is now ready to give his whole heart to a new forever home.

Franklin has a calm, patient temperament and truly loves people. He warms up quickly to visitors and has experience being around children ages 2 to 10 in his previous home. He thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. Franklin is happiest when he is near his person, whether that means sitting in your lap or simply resting close by. He enjoys being the center of attention, but he is also respectful of space and can be content to relax quietly at your side.In his foster home, Franklin has excellent house manners.

He is fully housetrained with no accidents when given regular potty breaks. He is crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night in his crate next to his foster mom’s bed. He also stays comfortably in his crate when she runs errands. His foster mom works from home, so he hangs out during the workday in her office on his special chair or in his doggie bed. Franklin is not a big barker, though he will happily let you know when he is excited to see you.

Franklin enjoys the simple things in life. He loves being outside, going for walks, exploring, and especially receiving belly rubs. He is a great leash walker and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely run and explore. Although he is affectionate and adaptable, Franklin has an alpha-dog temperament and will do best as the only pet in the home so he can soak up all the people love and attention. He can get overly excited around other dogs, although he would benefit from some monitored play date with other Cavaliers or similar size/temperament dogs.

After a recent vet visit, Franklin proved to be in excellent health and just had his teeth cleaned. He is slightly overweight, but with regular exercise, good diet, and a balanced routine, he is already on track to hit his target weight. He is up-to-date with his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.

Franklin is truly a special dog who will bring warmth, companionship, and unconditional love into the right home. If you are looking for a loyal companion to be by your side, Franklin may be the perfect match for you.

If you are home during the day, have a fenced yard, and no other dogs in your home, please complete the online adoption application and email June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Franklin. If you are already in our database, no need to complete another application. Just give June your first and last name.
