Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Timmie in Woodland Hills, CA

Timmie is a handsome Tricolor fellow looking for a lap or a big easy chair to call his own. His birthday is October 30, 2014. Timmie has the energy and endurance of a younger pup, and enjoys adventure in his day.

Timmie did have a family until recently. From his puppyhood, he was part of a family, but his Mom passed and his Dad became forgetful when it came to Timmie’s care. A concerned granddaughter stepped in, and asked Cavalier Rescue USA to help find Timmie the perfect forever home.

Timmie would like to have a companion to keep him active and include him on outings. He is easygoing and friendly with the two Cavaliers and Tibetan Spaniel in his foster home. He was confused for a few days when he arrived, but adapted to the routines and the new environment once he felt secure.

To gain potty reliability, Timmie should be supervised in a new home until he settles in and learns a different routine. He will need to be escorted out regularly first thing in the morning, during the day, after meals and before retiring at night.

At naptime, you will most likely find Timmie in a chair in the kitchen where he settles in after mealtimes while you are busy working. He likes the big easy chair in the living room for TV time, and quietly looking out the window seat in the office watching the neighborhood. Timmie loves simple things: a treat, a walk to the park, a back scratch, a belly rub, and riding in the car all bring Timmie joy.

Timmie is current on core vaccinations and is microchipped. He was treated for skin and ear issues while in foster care. He may need continued maintenance with a low-dose of allergy medication. Timmie is spry, and at an ideal weight for his physique.

Timmie’s foster Mom says he is somewhat hearing impaired, but does hear the louder voices. He is not a barker, and is confident being left on his own if you leave for errands. He will most likely nap for the time you are gone and will be happy to see you return.

Timmie will be a faithful and loyal companion in a short time once you gain his trust.

Riley in Boulder, CO

Riley with his new family!

Meet Riley, a beautiful, tricolor Cavalier who is 1 ½ years old (born 08/17/2023). His loving mom could no longer care for him due to her own battle with cancer. She bravely and unselfishly surrendered him to Cavalier Rescue USA where she knew he would find the loving and caring forever home that she could no longer provide. Riley came into Rescue with tons of toys that showed how loved he was.

Riley was an only dog before coming into rescue. In foster care, he loves, loves, loves to run, romp and play with other sweet Cavaliers! He adores playing chase with another dog or chasing the ball (which he may or may not return). He does not mind sharing his toys with his furry foster family, although there is sometime a “look what I have, and you don’t” invitation to play! He will play ball or keep away with any person for as long as they can last, and then he is content to snuggle on your lap or next to you on the couch or chair for a rest. He loves to cuddle.

Riley had tummy issues when he came to Cavalier Rescue USA. Initially he was infested with roundworms. After they were cleared up, he continued to have stomach issues. He is doing well on a highly digestible prescription dog food for sensitive stomachs. He is in good health otherwise. Riley does need to lose a couple of pounds. Riley is fully potty trained and has had no accidents during foster care since his tummy issues have been resolved.

Riley is accustomed to a lot of attention. He will become very attached to his new human family and want to stay close to them. And so, it is important that Riley’s forever home will have human family that will spend a lot of time with him and is home most of the day. He would also love to have an active, small, friendly canine companion. Riley will charge out an open door for an adventure if given a chance so young children are not recommended in his forever home. Riley will give his new family unconditional love, playful joy, and warm snuggles throughout the day and night.

If you live within a few hours drive of Boulder and feel Riley might be a good match for your home, please complete an online application and then send email to Carolyn at CarolynCKCS@comcast.net to let her know of your interest.

Baby in Wakeman, OH

Here is Baby with his new family…

Hello everyone. My name is Baby. I am a 2 year old neutered male, Ruby colored, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 2-17-23. I was placed into Cavalier Rescue USA when my owner passed away. I miss my human Dad. He and I were very close. I am hoping to have a gentleman in my life again. I like to sit by my foster Dad and I follow him throughout the house. If he is not available, I will stay close to foster Mom. I am a bit shy with new people and it takes me awhile to trust people. I have a lot of love and snuggles to give.

Since coming into my foster home I have had to learn many things. First of all, a collar, a harness, and a leash were put on me. WHAT are these? I had never had any of these before. Foster mom and Dad are very proud of me. They say I am a fast learner as I have learned that these are very necessary for going for walks. Guess what, I have also learned to walk on a leash! I enjoy going for walks. There are so very many sniffs out there.

I am trying to learn how to ask to go outside for potty breaks. We go outside first thing in the morning and many other times during the day and the very last thing before going to bed. This has helped me tremendously to avoid having accidents in the house. I have a foster brother that I get along with very well. There is also an outdoor cat and I get along with her too.

I am also crate trained. I sleep in my crate at night and I eat my meals in the crate as well. I am a fast eater. Sometimes I go in my crate and take a nap but I prefer napping on the sofa with foster Dad, right up against his leg. I like to play with a ball and other toys. I am energetic and I like to run. I would so appreciate a securely fenced in yard. That would keep me safe from bigger dogs and wild animals, like coyotes, foxes, and skunks.

Going to the Vet is not a favorite thing of mine and I am glad to have that out of the way. When I went, I got all my vaccinations updated and was neutered and micro chipped. I was pronounced to be in good health! Everyone there made a fuss over me but I was still scared.

Foster mom says: Baby is doing very well with his house training. He will need someone home most of the time as he does not know how to ask to go outside for potty breaks. Baby can be left alone for a few hours with no accidents. Baby has not been with any children. He can be timid and shy but can also stand his ground if he feels scared. Baby will bark if he sees something going on outside or if there is another animal outside, otherwise he is very quiet.

The Fabulous 5 in Dallas, TX

Cavalier Rescue USA in the Dallas TX area was able to take in this group of dogs when their owner asked for help after life changes resulted in his inability to keep the dogs. While we were told they were purebred Cavaliers, upon getting them into rescue, they appear to be a beautiful mix of Cavalier, Dachshund, and Papillon.

All were given health checks, microchips, vaccinations, and dentals or spay/neuter, and are on heartworm preventatives. Their ages range from 3-5. These dogs came to us scared and confused but have settled into sweet, healthy dogs and are ready for adoption.

Oreo is a 5-year-old, male, neutered and healthy tricolor. He weighs 15 pounds exactly and is the cuddliest, fluffy friend. He has a wonderful personality where he enjoys walks and playing with his foster brothers and sister as well as quietly lounging on the couch to watch TV.

Oreo would do best in a home with other dogs. He came from a home with many dogs and after a few days of quiet adjustment time, he does great with other dogs and new people are all friends he hasn’t met yet. He’s still working on potty training and thrives on routine and consistency. He also loves treats and is very food motivated!

Oreo is healthy and handsome. He’s ready for his forever home and new best friends in human and doggy form!

Gidget is one of the youngest of the group, only 3-years-old. She is a sweet, loving little girl who wants to always be by your side. She loves to be a couch potato while you are relaxing and will stay right by your side but once you are up and moving, she is right there with you! She can be a bundle of energy, running as fast as the wind, or sit quietly enjoying your presence while she is waiting for a belly rub.

She fits in nicely with other dogs but she would also be happy being the only dog in the family. She typically isn’t interested in cookies or treats, with the exception of a little piece of cheese.

Gidget received a great report from her visit to the vet and weighed in at 12.6 pounds. She walks well with a harness and leash and would enjoy daily walks. She is working on potty training and would benefit from a doggy door as she had one in her previous home. She is crate trained and will sleep all night in her crate but she would definitely prefer sleeping in the bed with a family member. Even if that’s not your plan, when she looks at you with her soulful eyes, you might change your mind about where she sleeps!

Louie is a neutered 2-year-old tricolor boy. He is highly intelligent with beautiful markings. He is full of love for his human and enjoys snuggling on the couch. He weighs 10 pounds.

He came to us with a limp. The vet did x-rays and could find no issues and the limp has resolved with some medication. He had a dental and neuter and is up to date on his vet work. He is a healthy boy. He is a light eater and sleeps well in his crate at night. His potty training is going well with frequent outings. He still wears a belly band in the house as a precaution.

He is still working on his social skills with other dogs. He loves his human so much that he can get jealous of others dogs around his person. He also is very nervous meeting new dogs so the introductions have to be slow. We have been working on this and it has greatly improved. He was very scared when we got him so building trust with him takes time but the reward of his love is worth it! He will either need to be an only dog or with an experienced dog owner who is confident in continuing his training. Louie will thrive in a calm and patient home with an adopter who is experienced with dogs.

Flynn is a 3-year-old male tricolor who is a bundle of energy and a very happy boy. This special boy would thrive in a home with a secure yard and a family that is home with him most of the time to share in his adventures and offer him lots of bonding time. He would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as he loves one-on-one time with minimal distractions.

He gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home. Flynn is mostly quiet only barking when the other dog in his foster home starts barking. He does like to patrol his yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood.

Once he feels secure in his environment, Flynn is a devoted companion who will stick by your side and happily curl up by your side for a cozy nap. He will need a family that is patient and willing to work with him until he learns to trust and feels less stressed in his new environment. He does have a bit of stranger danger for newcomers at his home. He will bark at visitors who come into your home. This is something we are currently working on with him. Though he is maturing, Flynn still has that puppy-like excitement, especially when treats and belly rubs are involved.

He is 18 pounds and has a clean bill of health! He has done great with potty training and uses a doggy door well. He also sleeps nicely in a crate at night. He loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is key to his daily routine. He enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion. His loyalty and love shining through his eyes makes Flynn an irresistibly wonderful boy.

Sofie is a sweet 5-year-old tricolor girl who is a petite 13 pounds. Just look at her beautiful, inquisitive bright eyes! Although Sofie may be a bit shy at first, once she warms up to you, she enjoys being by your side whether it is relaxing, playing or going for walks. She may be afraid of new people in the home, so patience is key for Sofie. Sudden noises and movement may startle her, this is most likely due to her prior environment.

Sofie likes to be on a set schedule and routine. She would be best suited in a quieter home with no children as she thrives one-on-one with minimal distractions. Sofie gets along with other dogs but would need to be introduced slowly to ensure a smooth transition into her forever home. Sofie is mostly quiet only barking when the other dog in her foster home starts barking. She does like to patrol her yard and keep an eye on the neighborhood.

Once she is comfortable, Sofie is the quietest, sweetest girl you will ever meet. She loves belly rubs, playing and curling up with her foster parents. She is extremely intelligent and learns very quickly. She comes when called and sits on command. Sofie loves to exercise so running in a fenced yard or going on walks is a big part of her daily routine. She enjoys car rides and would make a good road trip companion.

She has done very well with potty training in foster care and will use a doggy door. She is also a very healthy girl! She is a perfect companion for anyone looking for a peaceful, loving dog to brighten their life. Those expressive eyes and her petite size make Sofie an irresistibly charming little girl.

If you think any of these sweet dogs would be a great fit for your family please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.

Marco in Dillsburg, PA

If you are looking for the consummate companion, look no further! Marco is an approximately five to six year old male Blenhiem Cavalier.

Before coming to rescue, Marco was used for breeding on a Lancaster County Farm, but we don’t know much about his past. Marco adjusted quickly to his foster home. He absolutely loves being part of the family. He especially loves his foster “brothers.”

Like most Cavaliers, Marco is a Velcro dog. He needs to keep tabs on “Mom” at all times and is often found under foot. Marco is very amenable and doesn’t have a contrary bone in his body.

Marco is fairly small at 14 lbs and very healthy. He is missing a few teeth and takes his time to eat his food. His remaining teeth all look good.

Marco is not adventurous with running and jumping, but he will get the zoomies once in a while.

Marco wears a harness and walks well on a leash. He enjoys shorter walks, but could work up to longer ones. And, of course, he gets excited to meet other dogs on walks.

Marco adores his foster brothers and wants to go to a home with at least one other dog. He has anxiety if crated alone, but he enjoys being in a crate with his brothers. At night he sleeps on the floor next to the bed, but he would love to sleep in the bed if possible. Marco sleeps all night and isn’t disruptive.

Since his neuter surgery, Marco has had very few accidents in the house. He is content to go out every few hours, and his urge to mark has faded.

This warm-hearted boy deserves to have a peaceful home where he can provide companionship and love to his new family.

If you would like to adopt Marco, please complete our online application if you don’t already have one on file. Then email Melissa at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com so she knows you are interested.

Cody in Castro Valley, CA

Here is Cody with his new family…

The sweet little man behind the magnificent mutton chops is Cody. He’s a 3 year old, neutered, black and tan boy that’s heart and overall healthy. He is happy-go-lucky, confident, very well behaved, completely house trained, affectionate and just everything you want in a cavalier. Not to mention how devastatingly handsome he is! He has nice clean teeth and is up to date on his shots. He was surrendered by his loving owner when they could no longer care for him.

Cody looks like a cartoon character or a teddy bear and is just as soft and snuggly. He’s not fat, he’s just really fluffy! He loves walks but pulls a bit on a leash. Dedicated leash training will help this sweet boy be an even more wonderful companion. He gets along with the cavaliers in his foster home and all dogs that he’s met. Cats, however are another story and since they run, he thinks he needs to chase them.

Cody likes to watch tv and barks at dogs, cats and Wookies! He will even go behind the tv looking for them. You won’t ever be able to watch dog shows after he moves in! He loves children and will be a great family dog with older, respectful kiddos. He sleeps quietly in a crate but would love to share your big bed.

He needs low alone hours, a fenced yard and a dog door would be nice but he will signal at the back door if you don’t have one. This sweet boy will make some lucky family a wonderful little companion.

If Cody is your dreamboat and you can fill his wish list in a new home please completely fill out an application, then email your interest to Sarah Knudsen at sayrahk@gmail.com, our Northern California Coordinator. Online Application
