Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Clover in Cibolo, TX

Here is Clover with her new family…

If you’re searching for your next companion that will love you unconditionally, enjoys sneaking cat naps together, and that will bring absolutely joy to your life look no further! Clover is a 6 year old Blenheim King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, born May 5, 2000, who is at an ideal weight of 18 lbs. She is looking for her forever home to spend the rest of her days lounging around in all the nooks of your home!

Some ways Clover likes to express herself is by splooting as flat as she can be and wagging her tail at you, army crawling ever so sneakily into your arms when in bed, and her silly wiggle attacks where she huffs and puffs and wiggles around on her back.

Clover was a prior breeding dog, she recently had her spay, anal gland expression, and dental, she lost 21 teeth but that doesn’t stop her at all from eating. She is also up to date on her annual vaccinations and flea/tick and heart worm prevention and is heart worm negative. She potentially has environmental allergies and has started medication for some relief. It’s a once a day medication called Zenrelia.

Clover is house-trained, and benefits from a good potty schedule. She enjoys the comfort of a safe space such as a kennel with an open door policy or the best “den” she can find when free roaming her home. She will also cuddle on the couch with you.

Clover responds to her name and has good recall. She loves the company of other humans and can be vocal for their affection when leaving a room without her. She would benefit from a family that has someone who works from home or can include Clover in their plans as she is a loyal companion wanting to tag along for the ride.

Clover has resided with foster dogs of all ages and sizes and proven to adjust well in time, and seemed to bond best with other Cavaliers. While she may prefer being the center of attention she can also be content having a new sibling or two, but only engages in naps together and squirrel hunting rather than wrestling. She loves her toys and will happily play with them on her own.

Once Clover bonds with her family she can show signs of resource guarding when introducing other dogs, and so we always recommend introductions on a neutral territory to set everyone up for success.

Clover is being fostered in Cibolo, Texas. If you are interested in giving Clover the home she deserves please complete an online application if you haven’t already and then contact Maegan Ramos at sacavalierrescueusa@gmail.com so we know you applied. Families in a few hours drive of Cibolo, Texas preferred.

Molly in Boerne, TX

Molly is a 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born on 01/12/2024 who weighs about 16 pounds. She is a low-key, affectionate girl and a serious snuggler who would be happiest in a calm household with one friendly pet companion.

This sweet pup is learning how to relax, play, and enjoy being a dog. She has made good progress and is looking for a patient adopter who will give her the stability, reassurance, and time she needs to continue building confidence. Once Molly comes out of her shell, she loves her toys and the occasional play with another dog.

Molly is housebroken and crate trained. She is comfortable spending time in her crate when needed (as long as another dog is where she can see them), but at bedtime she would much rather sleep with her people. She loves being close to her person and can be left alone for several hours at a time, but she would not be a good match for a home where she is regularly alone for long periods.

Molly is spayed, fully vaccinated, and has a clean bill of health but she is heartworm positive. She is currently receiving treatment, which will be paid for by the rescue. Her adopter must agree to continue her heartworm care with her current veterinarian, Cibolo Creek Veterinary Hospital in Boerne, Texas. Her treatment is starting this month and can take up to 120 days for completion; it’s generally around 60-80 days. During this time she will be limited to any activities, this is absolutely crucial. She will have to be kept in a calm environment where she can’t run or have any raucous activity until the treatment is fully completed. She can not be allowed to jump on or off furniture or use any stairs. For all potty breaks she will have to be kept on a leash, and when you are not home, she will need to be kept in a crate or playpen.

Once she has completed treatment and been medically cleared, her adopter may transfer her care to another veterinarian.

Molly has already been through enough uncertainty. She is ready for a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe, stay close to her people, and enjoy the life she deserves.

If you would like to give Molly a loving home, please complete an online adoption application if you haven’t already. After applying, contact Maegan Ramos at sacavalierrescueusa@gmail.com to let us know you’ve submitted your application. Molly is currently being fostered in Boerne, Texas. Because she must continue heartworm treatment with her current veterinarian, adopters must live in the local area.

Lucky in Albuquerque, NM

Meet Lucky, a handsome 4-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born February 11, 2022. Lucky came into Cavalier Rescue USA after his former family decided they were unable to give him the time and attention he needed.

When Lucky first arrived in rescue, he was a little underweight and understandably nervous in his new surroundings. As he has settled into his foster home and gained confidence, we have seen a wonderful transformation. He is becoming more comfortable, secure, and relaxed every day. He has also had some territorial marking, but this behavior has decreased significantly after he was neutered and as he has become more confident. His foster mom uses a kennel or belly band when she is away from home as a precaution.

Lucky currently lives happily with two cats and two other Cavaliers. He gets along well with everyone and especially enjoys playing with his canine companions. He is comfortable in his kennel and will sometimes choose to go there on his own for a little quiet time. At night, he sleeps peacefully on the human bed with his foster mom and his furry friends. Here he is hanging out in the cat cubby…

This sweet boy loves affection and snuggles from his foster mom and enjoys having other dogs around. Because of his social and playful nature, a home with another young, active, small dog would be ideal for him. His foster mom has not had the opportunity to see him around large dogs, although she believes he would likely do well with a calm, well-balanced large dog.

Lucky is a fairly active Cavalier and would love a home where he can get plenty of exercise and playtime. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, especially where he could run and play with his canine companion. He is also a smart boy who enjoys learning and already knows several commands, including sit, come, wait, free, kennel up, and his foster family’s special release word for mealtime. He is learning that “quiet” means, “I heard your warning, and now you can stop barking!”

Lucky is a gentleman when it comes to food. He eats slowly and takes treats very gently. He is currently eating a combination of Blue Buffalo small-breed dry food and commercial raw food from Stella & Chewy’s and Primal.

Lucky is healthy and has reached a good weight of 17 pounds. Most importantly, he is a sweet, loving, playful boy who has blossomed in his foster home. He is ready to find a family who will give him the time, companionship, love, and attention he deserves.

Could Lucky be the Cavalier you’ve been waiting for? If you have another friendly dog to be his pal, a fenced in yard, and low alone hours and you are interested in adopting Lucky, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Carolyn at smallpaws4@mac.com so she knows to look up your application. Thank you! Applicants who live with a 4 hour drive of Albuquerque will be given first preference.

Stewart in Wakeman, OH

Here is Stewart with his new family…

Hello everyone! My name is Stewart and I am looking for my forever home. I am a tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, 6 year old, neutered male. My foster family is not sure what happened to my first home but my second home was very busy. They got in touch with Cavalier Rescue USA and surrendered me. They had three BIG dogs and one small dog and there were two kids also. I was spending too much time in a crate.

I would love to have a quiet home with someone home quite a bit. My house training is good but I do not know how to ask to go outside for potty breaks. I am very well behaved, I do not bark unless it is necessary. I am looking forward to being allowed to sleep in the bed with my person. I love to snuggle in on the sofa by my foster parents. I have a foster brother who is also a tricolor Cavalier. We get along very well together. I would very much enjoy having a securely fenced in yard to lounge about in. This way I am kept safe and secure from other big dogs that might be around. There is a cat around here and I respect her and will keep my distance from her. Cats have sharp claws and have been known to smack dogs for no reason, so I am careful around cats.

I ride very well in the car and I enjoy going to the bike path for walks. I walk very well on a leash. I prefer to stay close to my humans but I also like to explore. There are many smells to be sniffed. There are toys here but I do not play very much with them. Occasionally I will chase a ball with my foster brother.

One place I am not thrilled about going to is the vet. Yes, I had to go! I was neutered and got my teeth cleaned and my vaccines all updated. The Vet said I am in good health and that I am micro chipped. I am good to go to my forever home now.

Stewart’s foster mom says: Stewart is a very quiet Cavalier. He can be energetic but seems to prefer a calm lifestyle. He does enjoy going for walks, especially if there is a car ride involved. We walk Stewart with a harness and a leash on. Once he has settled in with you he is very cuddly, snuggly and just full of love. He fits right in and causes no trouble. Stewart eats his food slowly, crunches each kibble and seems grateful that he is allowed to do this.

If interested in Stewart, please complete the online application if you haven’t already, and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest.

Chelsea in Highland Park, IL

Here is the pup with her new family…

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I am the sweetest Blenheim you’ll ever meet! I was given to Cavalier Rescue USA by my breeder who wanted the perfect forever home to be found for me. I am 6-years-old, born 8-15-2020, and have been told that I have the most soulful eyes and stunning chestnut and white colored Blenheim coat.

All I want in life is to share my love with my people. I love nothing more than cuddling on the couch next to my foster parents or trying to climb up onto my foster dad’s lap while he works. I can’t be close enough! I have a calm personality and a gentle temperament, but I bark at first when I’m left alone or when I’m on neighborhood watch duty. Sometimes I bark at new people I meet but once I know them, I love them all.

My Cavalier foster brother and sister have taught me many new things in my foster home. I like other dogs (I have never been around cats), but I’m fine being an only child as long as I’m not left alone too much. I love my foster parents the most so if I can get all of the attention, I would enjoy being an only child. I like new people I meet, but I can be shy at first. I feel comfortable around older, respectful children, but younger children’s movements and loud noises frighten me, so I would be best in a home with no children or children 10 and older that are gentle and dog-savvy. I thrive in a calm household without a lot of noise and chaos.

In just a short amount of time I have learned to walk on a leash wearing a harness and I enjoy going for walks around the quiet neighborhood with my Cavalier foster brother and sister. I’m still learning to potty on leash so I will need a physically fenced backyard in which to do my business. I also really enjoy exploring my foster parents’ fenced yard, so I would love to have my own safe yard in my forever home.

I am fully housetrained on a schedule and I can hold it all night. I sleep in a crate in the bedroom near my foster parents, but I would LOVE to be able to sleep in the big bed with my new person as being physically close is important to me. Did I mention I love cuddling? I do not like being left alone, and will let my foster parents know by barking/whining to show my dismay when they dare to leave the house. I would like someone that is home most of the time so I am not left alone often because I love my people oh so much!

I am a very healthy girl! Have a clear heart, sound knees and I have recently undergone a spay, dental, am up to date on core vaccines, heartworm/flea/tick prevention and am microchipped.

See the pup in action: Chelsea!

If you meet all of Chelsea’s requirements and feel she would thrive in your home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and send an email to Carrie Thiergart at cavalierrescuecarrie@yahoo.com to let her know that you are interested at being considered.

Tyrus in Moscow, ID

Here is the pup with his new family…

Tyrus “Ty” is a 7.5-year-old Blenheim cuddle-bug Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He came into rescue after being released from a breeder. Ty has adapted quickly to his new life since coming into foster care. He is a typical Cavalier who wants to be near all his humans, or better yet on any lap available.

Ty loves being outside and exploring the foster family’s fenced yard. He is happy to be his foster sister’s wingman patrolling the fence for squirrels, peering through the fence at the neighbor’s cat, and enthusiastically greeting the mail person every afternoon. But Ty’s very most favorite thing on the planet is chasing butterflies. His antics running and jumping in pursuit are adorable. He enjoys being with his foster family’s Cavalier and gains confidence with her, but he does not seem to require another dog to be happy.

While outside Ty has lots of energy, inside he is a Cavalier couch potato. He will follow his foster family around the house to keep them company. But as soon as they sit down, he loves to cuddle. Ty can’t quite decide if he likes scratches around his ears, or under the chin, but he is happy to spend serious time every day exploring the topic. Personal space is at a premium when he’s around!

Ty is crate trained and can spend time in the crate during the day if you leave the house. He sleeps all night in the kennel but would like you to know he would love to sleep in a bed if invited. Ty’s foster Dad has napped with him and Ty likes to climb up to the top of the pillow, wrap himself around your head, and snore in your ear. Ty does great riding in his crate in the car.

Coming into foster care, Ty required extensive medical care. He was neutered, had a hernia repaired, a lump removed from his back, as well as 22 teeth removed. Recovery is going well and he would be more active if allowed. He weighs 18 lbs and is up to date on vaccines. Ty was diagnosed with a Grade 3 heart murmur but is not on any heart medications at this time. As part of caring for Ty, his adopter will need to continue regular cardiac monitoring and any recommended care.

While in foster care, Ty met extended family and friends of the foster family, interacted with kids of various ages, and had exposure to big and little dogs. Ty is very easy going most of the time, but did show some reactivity to big, boisterous dogs approaching him so caution should be used in future exposures. Otherwise, Ty seems very adaptable to new situations and seems happy to be included in everything.

If you’re ready to give this boy a loving home, please fill out an online application (if you haven’t previously) and email the rescue coordinator, Cindy, at cseakastner@gmail.com to let her know of your interest. You can read about the adopting at: Process & FAQ. Tyrus can’t wait to meet you!
