Buckeye in Dallas, TX

Here is Buckeye with his new family.

Buckeye is an absolute sweetheart, and ready to find his “furever” family. He came into rescue from a breeder with a gorgeous ruby color coat that is silky soft. He is two years old, and looking for a family that can offer maximum love and attention.

Buckeye is still learning how to be a loving family member. He loves to watch the world around him rather than be an active participant. (Unless, of course, “active participation” involves getting loved on.) Due to Buckeye’s shyness and his desire to watch the world around him, a calmer home with calmer pups or calmer older children would be ideal. (A home without pups or children would also work well for him.)

Buckeye loves to head out into the backyard and explore no matter the temperature. His ideal home would also include a securely fenced yard. (He does know how to use a doggie door for the family that desires not to play doorman all the time.) For those families who are on-the-go, you’ll find that Buckeye also does well on a leash and rides in a car without a peep. But he’s just as happy being a homebody, as long as his family is by his side.

Because Buckeye is still learning to be a housemate, he’s still getting used to snuggling with his humans on furniture. But, while in foster care, he has been slowly learning that couches and doggie beds can provide some nice comforting napping spots. In the meantime, it’s not uncommon to find him snoozing the day away on the bare floor using his foster Mom’s foot for a pillow, even if a doggie bed is inches away.

Buckeye is in good health. While in foster care, he was neutered, microchipped, brought up-to-date on his vaccinations, and put on heartworm prevention. His teeth, heart, and lungs are all in great shape. Buckeye is still getting the hang of potty training and a belly band is recommended for now. He has had improvement since his neutering, along with his knowing how to use a doggie door and his foster Mom’s careful attention to the clock.

Buckeye is a very sweet boy and a complete love bug. He is a friendly dog and gets along well with other dogs. He will need a family that can be patient with him due to his shyness learning how to be a loved and cherished member of the family. Buckeye’s ideal family would include someone who is at home most of the time.

Butterball in Little Rock, AR

Here she is with her new family!

Meet Butterball!

Butterball is an adorable 11-week-old Cavapoo puppy with a lot of love and energy to share! Born in rescue on November 14, 2024, Butterball is a unique mix of a Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mom and a Poodle dad, resulting in a spirited, active, and intelligent pup. Butterball embodies the lively, playful traits of a Poodle mix, so keep that in mind when applying.

At just 11 weeks old, Butterball already weighs over 9 pounds, so we anticipate she’ll grow into a larger Cavapoo. This little bundle of joy has been cat-tested and gets along well with other dogs who have the patience for playful puppy antics. She would thrive in a home with older, respectful children who can keep up with her lively personality.

Please keep in mind: Puppies are a lot of work and require time, patience, and commitment. Butterball is in her formative stages and will need ongoing training, regular exercise, and plenty of socialization to grow into a well-behaved adult dog. As with all puppies, she is full of energy and curiosity, which means accidents, chewing, and puppy shenanigans are to be expected. Potential adopters should be prepared to invest in her physical and mental needs daily to ensure she thrives in her new home.

Butterball’s mom came to us while pregnant, so this sweet girl has been nurtured with love from the very beginning. We’re looking for a home that understands the needs of an active Cavalier Poodle mix and is ready to provide her with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection.

If you’re ready to embrace the joys (and challenges) of puppyhood and give Butterball the forever home she deserves, we can’t wait to hear from you!

Applicants should carefully review our FAQ page before applying.

If you’re interested in adopting Butterball, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and email Whitney Barron at wbarronp@gmail.com to let her know of your interest.

Sophie in Cherry Hill, NJ

Here is Sophie with her new family…

Sophie is an adorable 4-year-old female Blenheim Cavalier who came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a commercial breeder. Despite her rough start to life, she is a very sweet young lady and is looking for her forever family.   

Sophie is learning how to be a family dog. She follows the lead of three other Cavaliers in the home. From the moment she came into the foster, she was playing with toys and enjoying being with her new dog family.

Sophie is shy when she first meets visitors. She may be afraid of new people in the home, so patience is key for Sophie. Sudden noises and movement may startle her, this is most likely due to her prior environment. Sophie thrives on a set schedule and routine.  

Sophie most loves being near her humans. She is especially happy sitting on the couch and the bed  with her family. She will place her head on her people’s laps, shoulders or arms; really anywhere she can get some human contact! She loves to be pet, especially belly rubs. Once Sophie trusts you, she will give you kisses on your nose. Sophie is a devoted Cavalier who will follow you everywhere. Sophie enjoys going on adventures with her family- whether it is the neighborhood,  parks,  or shopping.  She enjoys car rides and is always excited to go on a trip.

Given her young age, Sophie is very active and walks between one to three miles a day with her foster sisters. Because of this activity, Sophie has learned to walk well on a leash, with a collar and a harness.

Sophie is still working on learning basic commands as well as being housetrained. She is good when keeping to a schedule and will follow her foster sisters outside, but she does not yet alert if she needs to go outside, but is beginning to stand near the door. Her forever home will need to continue working with her on basic commands as well as reinforcing housetraining by keeping to a consistent schedule.

Sophie sleeps in either her dog bed or on the big bed with her humans and her foster sisters. She would much prefer sleeping in the big bed with her pack! Truly, Sophie loves the bed; it is one of her favorite places and she will lay on the bed any chance she gets.

While in foster care, Sophie had a spay and dental work with six teeth extracted.  She is a healthy young lady and up-to-date on all her vaccines.  

Sophie gets along with other dogs, but has not been tested with cats. She gets along with younger and older children. Sophie is most comfortable with older respectful children.

If you would like this beautiful girl in your home and are within two hours of Cherry Hill, NJ, please contact Rebecca Plimpton at Cavalier Rescue at beckplimpton@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Sophie.

Callie in Ypsilanti, MI

Here is Callie with her new dad…

This little bundle of love is looking for her forever home. Sweet, 10-pound Callie, is a 6-year-old Cavalier mix, who came into rescue as a shy, timid girl after being released from a breeder. In her short time in foster care, little Callie is blossoming into a happy Cavalier with a big heart.

Upon arriving in rescue, Callie needed some extensive dental work and needed all her teeth removed. But that hasn’t slowed her down at all. Callie has healed up nicely, eating soft and wet food like a champ. Because of her dental work, she will need to continue on a soft food diet; no hard food or treats.

Her foster mom reports that Callie has done great with her potty training, as long as she is taken out on a consistent schedule. This is easy for her foster mom who works from home and who has other little Cavaliers in the home to show Callie what it means to be a family pet.

Callie loves going for walks and playing with her foster siblings. Being outdoors is a new experience for Callie, so she would do best in a home with a fence to help her gain more confidence. Her foster home also has cats and Callie has done totally fine with the kitties.

While Callie’s foster mom is working, Callie sits on the nearby couch with the other Cavaliers in the home forming a big pile of little heartbeats and floppy ears. She likes to get people hugs, but on her terms. Callie is still learning to trust people.

When Callie had her vet visit, the vet noted a grade 3 heart murmur and prescribed Vetmedin (about $100/month) for the rest of her life. The vet also suggested she see a cardiologist annually. Callie also has a bi-lateral rear luxating patella, which is currently stable, and not bothering Callie. She has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date in her vaccinations.

Do you think you would be a good match for Callie? Please fill out the online adoption application (if you haven’t done so already) and then send an email to June at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let us know of your interest in this tiny bundle of love.

Toby in Brentwood, CA

Here is Toby with his new family…

Tiny Toby, just over eight pounds, makes up for his small size and the lack of an eye, with Mighty Mouse courage and feistiness.  He thinks he is a super hero and only lacks a cape and the ability to fly. 

Toby is just over a year old and has had a rather chaotic puppyhood, but he has emerged from that background with such energetic joy and playfulness with love and trust for his special people.

He enjoys being with his humans and follows them everywhere.  His favorite resting place is squished up next to his person on the chair or sofa. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night, but would also love to snuggle with his people in the big bed. 

Toby learns quickly and wants to please, but his best motivator is food!  He will scarf up whatever he can from the floor, but his people will have to be super careful with what he is allowed to eat. Right now he is only allowed prescription Purina Pro-Plan Gastro-Enteric dog food for meals and treats. He has a super-sensitive digestive system and his adoptive parents will need to work with their veterinarian to transition him to a better and healthier dog food. 

Toby came to his foster home with no potty manners at all.  He is doing very well with pottying outside now as long his people make sure he gets out often and in time. 

We understand that Toby was attacked by a big dog that damaged his eye. Toby is healing nicely from his neuter and his enucleation surgeries. His eye socket was cleaned up and the eyelid stitched shut. His foster mom thinks he should have a pirate eye patch, but when the hair grows back in, he will be as handsome as any two-eyed little prince. 

Toby will do best as the only dog and with someone who is home much of the time. He loves car rides and is small enough to be completely portable.  He is shy  with new people and somewhat reactive to dogs that he doesn’t know, but quickly warms up when he gets to know everybody. 

If you think Toby might be the perfect little companion for you and you live within reasonable driving distance from Brentwood, please complete an online application. Then email our Northern California Coordinator, Sarah Knudsen, at sayrahk@gmail.com to let her know your interest.

Millie in Mechanicsburg, PA

Here is Millie with her new family…

Millie is a pretty little Blenheim girl that came into rescue after her family purchased her from a pet store and quickly learned that a puppy needed more time and training than they realized.

During her time in foster care, Millie has met dogs of all ages and sizes, and does well with everyone. She is a playful puppy, but is respectful of older dogs in the house. She has met a dog-friendly cat and did well with him.

Millie is up to date on her vaccines, but will need to be spayed when she is a bit older. She is currently weighs about 9 lbs. We do not think she will be a big Cavalier but she is a little on the taller side for her age.

Since Millie is still young she is still working on housetraining but is pretty reliable if she is taken out on a regular schedule. She is still working on her basic manners and would do well if her adoptive family continued her training. Millie is a fairly calm puppy and we think she is a good candidate for pet therapy in the future.

Millie loves to play with toys and loves to wrestle and chase the younger dogs in the foster home. We think she would do well with a home that had another active dog in the household. Millie has met kids and did well with them, so a home with children is ok.

A fenced yard is not required, but is preferred since she does love to run around and explore outside. When not in a securely fenced area she should be leashed as she is very curious about her surroundings.

If you think you could be Millie’s forever home and live within reasonable driving distance of Mechanicsburg, PA, please complete an online application. Then email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as her family.
