Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Rosey in Lusby, MD

Rosey will be going home with her new family soon!

Hello everyone! My name is Rosey and I am looking for my forever home. I am a 5-year-old Cavalier Poodle mix that was surrendered by my previous owner after retiring from being used for breeding.

All I want is to share my love with my people. I enjoy cuddling on the couch with my foster parents and making sure they know I want to be near them. I am friendly with everyone and cannot be considered a watch dog since I do not bark or whine. I make my wishes known by shaking my head and making my collar rattle.

My Cavalier foster brother and sister have taught me many new things in my foster home. I like other dogs, but ideally, I’d like to be the only one in my new home. I love my toys and really do not like to share these (since I didn’t have too many to call my own at my previous owner’s home). I have not been around cats. I take my time eating my meals. I am sometimes picky and want to make sure you have prepared it just right.

I am fine going on a walk but reserve doing my business for the yard when I am not required to be on a leash. For that reason, a physically fenced is needed for me. I also am very interested in squirrels and deer so there is a risk of trying to chase them. I am crate trained and put myself to bed at night.

My vet told me that I am healthy girl! I am up-to-date on my core vaccines and have recently been spayed and received heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Also, I’m microchipped.

If you meet all of Rosey’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 cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Milo in Dallas, TX

Here is Milo with his new family…

Meet sweet Lover Boy Milo — a 6-year-old boy born 11/19/19. Blenheim bundle of joy with a heart as big as his pathos-filled brown eyes. Milo truly believes that faces were made for kisses, walks were made for enjoying, and naps are best when shared. He also does well in the car. If you’re in need of a hug, a kiss, or simply a loyal companion by your side, Milo is always happy to oblige.

Milo is a healthy, neutered male who is up to date on his core vaccinations and microchipped, ensuring both his safety and your peace of mind. If Milo sees a door open to the outside he will dash out very quickly. His future home will need to have a baby gate type system by the front door for safety. We need an adopter who is very careful and diligent around doors. For this reason young children are not recommended.

He does well with other dogs but Milo does have a high prey drive with the squirrels and bunnies in the back yard and field next to his foster home. He has done very well with the snippy resident blind tiny elderly dachshund foster sister he has been living with. He has not been observed with cats.

Milo is fully potty trained. He does not seem big on toys but is extremely food motivated. Due to his larger stature, he is a counter surfer. He loves belly rubs and enjoys playing a little catch where he gets chased by his sweaty foster mom in the Dallas summer heat.

Milo would flourish either in an active family setting or as the cherished king of his own castle. If you’re searching for a devoted, affectionate companion who will shower you with love, Milo may be the perfect match for you.

If you believe you would be the perfect match for Milo, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelbynfields@gmail.com so she knows of your interest. We are kindly asking for emails only and no calls.

Emily in York, PA

Here is Emily with her new family…

Say hello to Emily, or more affectionately known as Emmy, Yammy, and Sweet Yam. This little 6 year old Ruby girl is ready to steal your heart! She is the definition of a sweet, friendly Cavalier and the family who snags her will be the luckiest indeed!

Emily came into rescue from Lancaster County as a retired breeding dog from a commercial breeder. She was initially scared to walk through doorways, hesitant on a leash and wary of strangers. But with the help of her furry foster brother she learned to overcome all of that! Emmy’s curious and silly personality emerged over time and now she is even the leader of the daily walk, one of her favorite things to do. She will also occasionally play with toys but she is truly happiest when she is cuddling with her favorite human or another canine companion. For this reason, another friendly dog who doesn’t mind their personal space being invaded is a requirement for Emmy’s future forever family. Having her humans home most of the time would also be a benefit for this cuddle bug.

Emily’s foster family says she was the easiest pup to potty train they ever had! She goes out into their fenced yard about every 4 hours, plus a short morning walk that she enjoys very much. She is trained to be in a crate by herself when no one is home and overnight, but she would be much happier if she were to be allowed in the crate of another dog.

Emily has recently been spayed, had a dental cleaning, and had a small mass removed. As is the case with many Cavaliers, she also has a grade 4 heart murmur. She has been seen by a cardiologist and does not need any medication at this time. The cardiologist has recommended at least yearly check-ups of her heart to ensure she stays healthy for as long as possible. Emily also came into rescue with very sensitive skin. She may need to take seasonal allergy medication, and will need to always have her flea, tick and heartworm preventative taken monthly to combat any allergic reactions.

Sweet Emmy is truly a special little lady. She will make you giggle when she rolls onto her back for scritches and belly rubs. She will make you proud when you can take her anywhere and she is a friend to all. And she will make your heart grow every single time she curls up in your lap for a snuggle session. Emily has spent her whole life caring for all her puppies and now it’s time for her to be pampered and spoiled like the princess she is!

If you think your family sounds like a fit for Emmy and you are within reasonable driving distance of York, PA, please fill out an application if you don’t already have one on file. Then, please email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com to tell her of your interest in Emily.

Solomon in Dillsburg, PA

Here is Solomon with his new mom…

Solomon was surrendered to rescue after his owner’s health made it too difficult to take care of him. His birthday is 8/30/22. The first thing you will notice about Solomon is his size. At 42 pounds, he is large for a Cavalier, but has started to lose weight. He needs to lose about 15-17 lbs to get to a more ideal weight for his frame.

Solomon’s foster mom refers to him as a big fluffy marshmallow. This sweet Blenheim boy is very friendly. He adjusts easily to new surroundings and gets along with other dogs. He is house trained and hasn’t had any accidents in foster care.

Solomon is a velcro Cavalier and will become attached to his new family quickly. He loves to go for walks. He doesn’t have a lot of endurance yet, but likely will go further when he loses some more weight. He can also get overheated, so several short walks would be best. His new owners should be committed to his weight loss with diet and exercise routines. A fenced yard would also be great for Solomon so he can explore and get outside often.

Even though he is friendly, a home without children would be best for Solomon. He needs a gentle touch with grooming. He loves scratches in some areas, but is sensitive in others. He tolerates baths well. He will play with toys and chew bones, but he doesn’t need to be entertained much. He sleeps well at night on the floor beside his foster’s bed.

This big boy is very healthy! Besides needing to lose weight, Solomon has no health issues. He is up to date on vaccines and microchipped.

If you think you’d be a good match for Solomon, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Archie in North Georgia

Archie is a beautiful black and tan male Cavalier. He is 2 years old (born 01/16/2024) and weighs 22 pounds. Archie was an owner surrender that came in with itchy skin that had caused hair loss and a hot spot, but his coat is returning beautifully! Archie is up to date on vaccines, neutered and is heart clear. On top of all that, he is a totally sweet boy!

Archie is full of energy loves running with his foster siblings, wading in the creek and stealing his foster dads’ shoes! Archie is a typical Cavalier and loves to cuddle in his foster dad’s lap. He’s a little spoiled and loves sleeping propped up on the bed pillows. Archie is a snorer and snores loudly!

He gets along with other dogs and has learned to respect cats in the foster home! Older children with knowledge and the understanding of dog behaviors would be perfect for Archie.

Archie LOVES FOOD! He has a healthy appetite. He sits on request, but gets very excited and is still learning to wait his turn when treats are being handed out!

We are currently working on house training. If kept on a schedule, Archie has few accidents in the home.

Archie will be best suited in a home with someone home all the time to maintain his routine, with pup siblings with his same energy! A fenced in yard is required for Archie.

If you think Archie would be the perfect pet for your family please complete an online application if you haven’t already. Then, please contact Beth Wilson at kinneywilson@bellsouth.net to express interest in Archie.

Frankie in Fort Myers, FL

Here is Frankie with his new family…

Hi! My name is Frankie and I’m Ruby Cavalier looking for a special family who wants a forever buddy that’s fun, smart and adorable. I’m 1-year-old turning 2 on October 1st.

All that I really want is lots of love and attention and I’ll give you much more in return. See, I’ve had a rough start to dog life and all I want is to be loved, to feel safe and secure. I will be a true companion to someone who really needs me, will play with me and wants to take me everywhere they go. I was rescued by a nice woman who gave me to Cavalier Rescue USA so I could find my forever family. I’m a true companion and love being wherever my people are whether we’re going for a walk, taking a car ride, playing together, or just relaxing on the couch. I’ve really loved being with my foster family but need to find a new home soon so I can settle into a routine of continuing with my house training and learning manners. I am a quick learner and really like getting high value treats for sitting, coming, staying and down. Someone who can continue helping me with learning how to be a “good” dog is very important as all I want to do is please you.

One of my favorite things is playing fetch! I love chasing balls, playing with toys, going for walks and running around in a securely fenced yard. My foster mom takes me out a lot since I’m still working on going potty outside and I’m doing great. I don’t have any accidents if I can go outside often to do my business. I’ve been neutered and haven’t marked in my foster home at all. Even though I’ve been crate trained, I don’t really like going in my crate except to eat my dinner. My favorite place to sleep is in a big bed with my people and I don’t jump on the furniture unless asked.

Did I mention I love car rides? I ride calmly in the car and would happily tag along whenever I can. At home, I tend to follow my person from room to room and love settling beside my foster mom to watch TV. I’m definitely happiest when I’m included in whatever you’re doing. I’d do best in a home where my people are home most of the day.

I really enjoy being around other dogs and love having canine friends, but I don’t always love sharing my favorite things like food, treats, and toys. Because of that, I’d be happiest as the only dog in my forever home, where I can soak up all the attention and have my special things to myself. I can still enjoy meeting and spending time with other dogs. I’d just prefer to come home and be the king of my own castle.

My foster mom took me to the vet to get a check up and they said I’m healthy, up to date on all my vaccinations and preventatives but have a minor luxating patella that doesn’t stop me from any activity and doesn’t require surgery. The vet also said I should lose a few pounds which would also help put less strain on my knee. Like most Cavaliers, I really like to eat so this is not good news! I will need my new family to help me lose a few pounds. No heart murmur detected, either.

My ideal family would be one where I’m the only dog so I can get lots of individual love, care and attention, continue with my training, help me lose weight and just have lots of fun chasing balls and getting exercise. I’m a young little guy who loves people and other dogs but needs to feel safe, confident and loved so I can be the best loving companion you’ve ever had.

If you want to be my forever family, please fill out the online application (if you haven’t already) and then let Sue Wesson, suewesson@snet.net know of your interest.
