Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Sugar Needs Your Help!

Sugar is a super calm and loving 6 year old Blenheim Cavalier. She’s great with adults and kids and dogs and cats and everyone. Her favorite activities are hanging out with family and cuddling. Sugar has an exceptional temperament – she’s loving, easy-going, and will be an excellent family pet.

Sugar’s original owners passed away, and after she came to rescue, she had a dental cleaning which revealed a worrisome mass under her tongue. The mass was sent to pathology, and biopsy results indicated the mass was cancer, likely originating around the root of the tooth, near the bone.

Our vet referred Sugar to a Veterinary Dentistry specialist for a consultation. The dental specialist vet recommended surgery to remove the affected area, including the front portion of Sugar’s lower jaw. This procedure is Sugar’s best option for life and the only way to eliminate the cancer.

It will be an expensive surgery, estimated between $5,000-8,000, and we are asking for your donations. Poor Sugar lost her first family, and now she’s facing a serious health problem that could impact her well-being, life expectancy, and quality of life. She needs this surgery, and we need your help.

Sarge in Greenwood, IN

Hi, I’m Sarge. I am four years old. I came to the rescue after my owner passed away. I was sad and stressed at first, but my foster mom says I am really coming out of my shell. She says I am a sweetheart. I love nothing more than to cuddle up next to my foster mom and watch TV. She calls me her little couch potato. If I must be in my bed alone, I like to go to the laundry basket and pull out a shirt or socks to lie with.

I get along wonderfully with my dog foster siblings, but I am not a huge fan of the cat. I would prefer not to have to share my space with one. I am a bit skittish around men. When I first came to my foster home, I was downright scared of them. My human foster brother has worked hard to help me get over that fear. I prefer slow, gentle movement around me; for that reason, my foster mom would suggest a quiet home with no children, or older children only.

I am a perfect gentleman with my house training. I have never had a single accident. I let my foster mom know when it is time to go out by heading to the door. I’m healthy and weigh about 17 pounds.

I love to take walks around the neighborhood and have perfect leash manners. I prefer a harness, which is good because foster mom says it’s safest anyway. I sleep in my bed at night but would probably prefer to sleep with my human. I am a dainty eater, and it takes me a while to finish my meals. If there are other dogs in the house who might steal my food, I would need to be fed separately. Otherwise, I would just let them have it.

If you are interested in giving me a forever home, please fill out an online application (if you haven’t done so already). Then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know of your interest.

Emmett and Milo in Urbana, IL

Meet Emmett and Milo! Two bonded Cavalier boys!

These sweet boys came from a family that made the difficult decision to give Emmett and Milo to rescue.

First up is Emmett Wayne!

He is a nearly five-year-old (born December 30, 2020) Blenheim boy. Emmett has been to the vet and is up to date on his vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. He had a much needed dental with several teeth removed …but that hasn’t slowed him down!

He has an adorable kissing spot on his head. He’s a true snuggle bug.

Emmett is fifteen pounds, and up to date on heartworm and flea preventatives.

Emmett is well trained and very smart. He knows the commands for sit, stay, wait, leave it, lay down, crate and come. He will sit and wait for his food before giving a release word of “okay!”

Emmett is crate trained. He is very playful and loves to play fetch with small mouth-sized plush toys.

Emmett loves walks, and is learning to walk on a leash. He loves squirrels, and will pull when he sees one!

Emmett’s favorite thing is to lie in your lap or find a sunny spot to take a nap. Emmett really enjoys people and is very social.

Next is Milo Nicholas! Milo is a seven-year-old (born October 30, 2018) sweet and loving Ruby boy.

Milo is up to date on his vaccinations, micro-chipped, and neutered.

Milo also had a dental with several teeth extractions, but has recovered beautifully! He is seventeen pounds, and up to date on heartworm and flea preventatives.

Milo is well trained and very smart. He knows the commands to sit, stay, wait, leave it, lay down and come. He will sit and wait for his food before giving a release word of “okay!”.

Milo is crate-trained. He is fully house-trained, and even rang a bell on the back door of his previous home to be let out. He now sits at the back door when he needs to “go.” If need be, he will bark to be let out.

Milo still needs experience walking on a leash. He is improving, and has started to be more settled during walks. Milo barks at other dogs on walks, but is responding to training.

Milo is very curious and can find hidden treats! He is not very interested in toys, but loves to lie in your lap.

According to their previous owner, Emmett and Milo have been socialized around children, cats and small animals, but would be happiest in a home without children. Emmett gets very attached to his person, and would do best in a home without other dogs besides Milo.

These boys would do well having someone who is home most of the day. They enjoy walks so it would be ideal to have someone who is willing to walk them. A fenced yard is also required.

They are also good at riding in the car. They are a very sweet pair, and love snuggling with their person and each other.

If you can provide Emmett and Milo with a loving forever home, please complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then email Meg at Cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in adopting both boys.

Georgie in Columbus, OH

Hi! I’m Georgie!

I’m a 6-7 year old tricolor boy given to rescue when my people split up. I love to be outside and explore nature. I am happiest taking a long meandering morning walk through the woods or park, then taking a long snooze with you at my side afterward. As sweet as I am handsome, I am also a very good boy. I sleep all night in my crate, do my business outside when I should, know my basic commands, and tolerate your having to leave me without complaint (although I would always rather go with you), and greet you so warmly when you return.

I do love my food! And your food! And the other dog’s food! I currently weigh 30 pounds. Diets are so hard, but the vet says I should lose a few pounds so I am trying. My old vet said I had an umbilical hernia and a grade 1 heart murmur but my foster mom’s vet says there’s no murmur, so go figure.

I’m pretty independent, and happy to do my own thing as long as you are near. I get along great with the other dog in my foster mom’s house, and all the kids in the neighborhood pet me and tell me how cute I am.

My ideal home would give me the chance to run and play outside frequently. I love adventure and being included in activities. I don’t need someone home all the time, but I don’t think I would like being alone all day either. Somewhere in between would be just fine.

Please read our Process and FAQ pages. If you think we are a match, please complete the online application if you haven’t already done so, and then email Sherry Morgan at morgan817@sbcglobal.net.

Bri in Harrisburg, PA

Bri is a pretty 1.5 year old Ruby Cavalier who is on the small side at 12 pounds.

When Bri was a tiny puppy she had a seizure that was attributed to hypoglycemia. She was not the best eater and would only eat once a day. Shortly before she came into rescue she had an episode where she was slight wobbly and was staring off into space. Her family felt that they may be unable to give her the care for her so she was released to rescue.

Since coming into rescue Bri has been happily eating two meals a day with no issues, although she does not like to eat in her crate! We did not observe any unusual episodes in the several months that that she was in rescue. She did see the veterinarian while in rescue. He said he did not see anything unusual with her but she may have exhibited signs of fly catchers syndrome before she came to rescue. Her new family will need to monitor her.

Bri is a very outgoing girl who really, really likes to be around people! In fact, her nickname in her foster family is the ‘Ruby Shadow’! She loves all people and has visited at a local nursing home and gone to church meetings. She was a star both places! However, Bri does not like to be left for long periods of time at home alone in her crate. The ideal home for Bri would be one that would take her out frequently to be with people, take her to work with them or who would be able to be home with her most of the time.Bri would be an excellent pet therapy dog.

Bri gets along well with her Cavalier foster siblings but is a little unsure about the big rambunctious dogs in the foster house so she ideally will have another small dog in her new family. She also got along well with the cat that she stayed with when she first came into foster care.

Bri is house-trained but needs to be carefully watched because her signal to go out is simply to look at the door. She is also crate trained and will sleep happily in her crate for the entire night.

If you are looking for a young dog who will want to go places and do things with you, Bri just may be the perfect fit! If this is the girl for you, please complete our online application if you haven’t already done so. Then email Melissa MacMullin at cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com and ask to be considered as a family for Bri!
