Clifford in Little Rock, AR

Introducing Clifford, the most adorable, energetic ball of fire! You’ve heard of Clifford, the big red dog from the children’s book, well, this is Clifford, the “little red dog” who was born on 2/17/2025 and weighs 9 pounds. He’s got tons of puppy energy and is just the cutest little guy on four legs especially when he gets the zoomies and looks at you with those big beautiful brown eyes.  

Clifford loves people and gets all excited when people come into the room. In true Cavalier form, he craves their attention and quickly wins everyone’s heart. Clifford gets along well with his foster siblings and follows them outside to potty in their fenced in yard. Clifford has been making progress with his house breaking and is able to sleep through the night so far without having an accident. He sleeps in his crate and doesn’t complain. His foster mom puts him in his crate when she isn’t able to watch him since he’s a puppy and will get into trouble chewing things he shouldn’t. Give Clifford a rope toy or his plush duck instead and he will quickly chew and shake them up as they are his favorites.  

Clifford will sit in your lap with a chew toy but won’t stay too long because he just wants to play and run around. He’s a puppy after all, but, his foster mom says he’s precious and a joy to have around. Clifford needs to be with a loving, patient family that’s willing to work on his training to be the best little companion dog he’s meant to be. Clifford would be fine with another dog with whom he could play and also learn good manners from. He loves to tumble and wrestle and run with his two foster young Cavaliers. Children would be fine as long as they are willing to help with his training and don’t mind that he jumps (he just can’t contain his enthusiasm for making friends with people).  

Clifford is ready to be with a forever family where someone is home most of the day, can work on his training and be ready to give lots of love and attention to this sweet, little guy. Patience will be the key to his training along with lots of cuddles and praise. He’s a good eater and does well on car rides in his crate. Clifford hasn’t been introduced to leash walking yet so he will need help to learn. He needs a secure fenced in yard so he can continue to run around and release some of his puppy energy. Clifford is quiet and hardly ever barks or cries. 

He is up to date on all his vaccines, has a microchip and is on heartworm and flea preventatives. Clifford is a healthy, active puppy who just wants to be loved and give love in return. 

Clifford has just gone to his new home.

Ozzy in Castro Valley, CA

Meet handsome Ozzy, one of the most striking Cavaliers we have ever seen! His blue eyes and unusual tricolor/merle coat are stunning… and he’s as sweet and snuggly as he is beautiful!

Ozzy will be three years old soon. His birthday is August 23, 2022.

Ozzy is confident and easy going. He was neutered while in rescue, all of his shots are up to date, and he has a sparkly clean smile to go along with his movie star looks! Ozzy is heart-healthy, and has great overall health. Sometimes the gene responsible for the merle coat and blue eyes can cause deafness, but Ozzy can hear perfectly.

Ozzy was surrendered to rescue after his owner could no longer care for him.

Ozzy gets along with his foster siblings, frequently initiating wrestling matches and chases. He loves walks and is good on a leash. Ozzy hasn’t had an accident while in foster care, and he consistently uses the dog door. He did mark a bit at first, but hasn’t since he’s been neutered.

Ozzy will put his paw on you to ask for lap time, and loves to snuggle in your lap.

Ozzy wants an active family that will take him on regular walks. He also needs a fenced yard and very low alone hours.

Someone who works from home would be perfect as Ozzy’s new parent. Ozzy is okay with older children. He has not been cat tested. Applicants within a couple of hours drive of of the San Francisco East Bay will be considered for Ozzy’s forever family.

If you can fulfill Ozzy’s wish list, please complete our online application if you have not already done so. Then express your interest in Ozzy by emailing Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com

Charlotte in Marion, AR

Here she is with her new family……

Hi, I’m Charlotte and I’m looking for a family to love and care for me forever but most importantly, to play ball with me! I’m a 5 year old Ruby Cavalier girl who came to rescue because my owner had health issues and couldn’t take care of me anymore. They loved me and taught me good manners and my foster mom says I’m beautiful and super sweet. Did I tell you that I am really good at playing fetch with my favorite ball? 

I’m pretty easy going and get along well with my 3 foster Cavalier siblings. I love human companionship too and get attached to my people quickly, especially if you will play ball with me. My foster mom says I’m the perfect Cavalier, fun, spirited, adoring and well behaved. I’ve had very few accidents in my foster home and really like the doggie door to go outside. I haven’t been on a leash much, so I don’t know if I’m a good walker but I’m great at running and catching the ball. Did I tell you how much I love playing fetch?

Click on my name to watch me in action: Charlotte

I’m also a good snuggler especially if my ball is close by. At night, my foster mom lets me sleep in her big bed with the other dogs but before I go to sleep, she puts my ball on the dresser and says, “night, night” where I’ll stare at it for awhile before laying down. I can also go into a crate and will be okay if I have my ball with me.  My foster mom feeds me in the crate but I’m okay left alone uncrated too. I like to go for car rides.

My health is great and my weight (22 lbs.), is good for my size.  I’m up to date on all my shots, spayed and preventatives for heartworm and fleas. I’ve even got a microchip and have a clean bill of health. I think I’m just about perfect!  

My ideal forever family should have a fenced in yard so I can run and play ball in the safety of my own home. Another dog would be nice but it’s not necessary and gentle children fine, especially if they like to throw a ball for me! I’ll bring the ball right back to you so you can throw it again and again. Then, we can cuddle up on the couch. I’m easy to please but prefer someone to be home most of the day to keep me company and of course, to play ball.  

Do you think I’m a bit ball obsessed? Really, I’m just the most adorable, love bug and will make you smile every day if you like to play and want a very fun pup in your life.  

If you think you’d be a good forever family for me, please fill out an application on our website (if you haven’t already), and let Whitney Barron, wbarronp@gmail.com know of your interest.

Sherman in Savage, MD

Here is Sherman with his new family…

Sherman is excited to live the life he’s been dreaming of! This pup is a snuggly and curious tricolor pup born 11/30/24 that is looking forward to being in his forever home. Sherman came into Cavalier Rescue USA after being released by a breeder. He is figuring out who he is and what this big world is all about.

Sherman is learning how to “dog” by following the lead of his foster brothers and he is still working on learning basic commands. Sherman is very loving and enjoys being snuggled and held. When he’s not velcroed to his person, he is testing what toys are all about and speed racing in the back yard. While he does enjoy walks, Sherman will need a family that is dedicated to leash training and reassurance. 

He has adapted to house training very well and with consistent outside breaks, he hasn’t had any accidents.

Sherman will need a puppy experienced household and family that is willing to continue working with him to make him feel more comfortable in this world. He will do best with someone home much of the time and a fenced in yard.

This pup is the epitome of a velcro dog, a bit timid, and wants to be consistently with his person and dog companion for reassurance. Sherman is goofy and likes to show off what a puppy he is and will benefit from enrichment and play.

Currently Sherman lives with two pup foster brothers and really enjoys snuggling with them and leaning on them for guidance. Sherman is crate trained for overnight sleeping and has been doing well left alone for short periods of time. Sherman is a joyful, loving, and incredibly sweet Cavalier and he’s ready to live the spoiled life that he deserves!

If you are interested in this precious pup and meet what we are looking for in a new home, fill out the online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. Applicants who live within a 3 hour drive of Savage, MD will be considered for Sherman’s placement.

Drew in Pittsburg, CA

Here is Drew with his new family….

This handsome Blenheim gentleman is Drew. He’s an 8 year old retired stud dog that’s ready for a new life in his golden years. He was surrendered to us by a commercial breeder. These dogs are used to living in a pen with a bunch of other dogs and not much human socialization and come to us shy & timid.

Drew is initially shy to approach and takes a little time to accept touch until he knows you. He didn’t like the leash much in the beginning but does get better when he knows you. He really has depended on his foster brother to approach strangers but does it at a distance. Once he knows you he will get low to the ground so you can pick him up but is still unsure. He needs a lot of soft loving understanding to get familiar in his new home. In the mornings he will approach much easier for some gentle play time and even some kisses from you. He will give you his paw for more attention and sweetly, he has discovered toys for the first time in his life. 

Drew was neutered, vaccinated and had a dental while in foster care. He was diagnosed with a grade 4 murmur but no medication is required for now. His new family needs to check on this every year.

Drew is pretty good using the doggie door to potty on his own but every few hours his foster mom says let’s go potty and takes him out. He wags his tail even when you get up so he really wants to be involved but is just still unsure. 

A cat that is used to dogs would be okay. Drew wanted to play with a cat that visited for a couple of days but she has never been around dogs so never got very close. A baby gate was used to separate them.  

As a typical velcro Cavalier, Drew will follow you around even to the bathroom. He loves his treats and will let you know when he is comfortable. He is a sweet mellow boy that’s ready to love.

In his new family, Drew needs a fenced yard and very low alone hours, a retired family or someone who works from home would be perfect. We are recommending no small children and only respectful older children in his new home. We are only considering homes for Drew that already have a Cavalier or similar sized & temperament dog for him. He needs the companionship of another dog and will learn how to be a loved house pet from them.

If you can fulfill Drew’s wish list in his new family please completely fill out an application and send an email to our Northern California Coordinator, Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com to let her know of your interest.
