Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Cameo in Mechanicsburg, PA

Cameo is a very cute, petite tricolor girl estimated to be about 9 months old. She was turned over to rescue by a breeder due to the pup having a heart murmur. When she first came into rescue she was quite shy and timid. She is still a bit skittish but warms up quickly to new people and surroundings and is a darling, sweet pup.

Playtime is her favorite and that could last all day. She loves squeaky toys. She is very curious and bright and is always looking for an adventure. Cameo currently resides with four Cavalier foster brother and sisters. She enjoys the company of another small playful dog or two. An absolute favorite playmate of hers is the family cat. They wrestle and chase all day long. However, Cameo needs a dog savvy cat and one that can escape when the wrestling gets to be too much.

Cameo has not been kid tested. Since she does take a bit to warm up, a home with no children or older children would be best. Her house training is going quite well. She has been accident free for the past month. Cameo has had limited trips in the car. She gets quite car sick. She is crate trained and sleeps through the night. She enjoys roaming the backyard and chasing birds, butterflies, bugs and pretty much anything that moves.

While in rescue, Cameo was seen by a cardiologist and diagnosed with a grade 4 murmur pulmonary stenosis. The cardiologist did not feel that her pulmonic stenosis warrants surgery at this time. She is currently taking Carvedilol twice daily. It is recommended that she be re-evaluated by the cardiologist again around next March to determine if she would be a candidate for surgery. She will continue to need regular cardiologist visits for the rest of her life. It is vital she go to a family who is committed to continuing her cardiac care so she can live her best life. Due to her age and her heart condition, she has not yet been spayed. She also has a small umbilical hernia and a retained baby tooth.

Cameo is a happy, loving little girl who needs a family who is committed to continuing with her care so she can live a long happy life.

If you think you will be a good fit to be a family for Cameo, please make sure you have an updated application on file and email Melissa MacMullin (cavalierrescueusapa@gmail.com) to let her know you want to be considered.

Ashley in Dallas, TX

Ashley is a beautiful Blenheim girl with a gentle soul. She is 7-year- old (born 4/4/18). This precious pup came to rescue due to her owner’s health issues. She is such a sweet and kind little girl, and she is ready to have a forever family to whom she can give all of her love.

She is such a good girl. She loves to go out for a nice leisurely walk and come home and relax right by your side. She is a love bug!

Ashley came to rescue with diabetes that was not well managed. Her ALP was very high, but we added a prescription called Ursodiol and it has come down so nicely. She will need to continue to be on the Ursodiol. We are very pleased that her diabetes is now very well managed with insulin twice a day and a prescription food. She lays down and is very easy to give her insulin shot.

She also had a dental and her palette was shortened at the same time because her breathing was quite loud. You can tell she is feeling so much better. She does have cataracts, but the vet does not think she is a good surgical candidate. She sees and gets around very well. She has dry eyes and gets drops for that. She is up to date on her core vaccines and is on a monthly heartworm preventative.

Ashley is house trained and is a well behaved, gentle, loving pup. She gets along well with other well mannered dogs and has never met a stranger. She is also very good in the car.

Ashley is a very special girl who has so much love to give. In return she needs a home devoted to managing the care of her diabetes as well as her drops for her dry eyes.

If you think you are a great match for Ashley please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.

Tofu in Enfield, NH

Meet Tofu, also known as “Tofutti Cutie” in his foster home! Tofu was born on July 16, 2024. This petite puppy’s enthusiasm for life knows no bounds! He greets each moment with excitement and is always ready for his next adventure. He loves to flop in your lap for cuddles between rounds of chasing the ball or playing tug-o-war.

Tofu requires an active family who can give him a lot of attention throughout the day. He is good at playing on his own – he loves to play “soccer” with his tennis ball or throw his toys around – but he is constantly checking to see if you are paying attention. He has picked a favorite foster parent, but he is a pretty equal opportunity love-bug.

He would love to be with a person or family who regularly adventures outdoors and visits new places and friends. Tofu would also enjoy something like agility or flyball. Another playful dog in the house would be fantastic, but Tofu would be fine solo with plenty of interaction from his owners. His family must appreciate a lap dog who gives lots of kisses.

Tofu came to the rescue because his owners could no longer accommodate his high energy needs. Tofu was raised with a toddler and was very good with her. We would recommend, however, that he be placed with older children because of his enthusiasm and exuberance.

Tofu knows sit, stay, down, and place, and is house-trained. He is currently learning leave it and drop it. We are also working on improving his recall – he knows what come means, but sometimes the world is just too exciting to listen.He is fed in a crate at his foster home as he occasionally tries to see what the others are eating.

Tofu is currently staying in a house with an older Cavalier, two cats, goats, and chickens. He is great with the older dog, though Tofu would love it if he were more playful. Tofu is learning to be respectful of the cats and does well, so he would be fine in a house with a dog-savvy cat, but not a frightened one, as he will chase. He desperately wants to chase the chickens, so he is not allowed to be free around them.

Tofu is crate-trained and sleeps in his crate in his foster parents’room at night. He also stays in it if his foster family is not home or occasionally if he can’t be monitored.

This little ball of energy needs a securely fenced yard for regular zoomies and loves to go on walks, though he is still learning to be polite on a leash. His foster home has a dog door, which he is learning to use, and he is great about letting you know he needs to go out.

Tofu is up-to-date on all immunizations and preventatives. He will be neutered while in foster care.

If you are searching for an energetic sidekick for all your adventures, Tofu is ready to go anywhere, play hard, and cuddle even harder!

If interested in adopting Tofu, and you have completed our online adoption application, please email the New England coordinator, Barbara Blanchette at: blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com. Please be sure you meet the requirements to adopt Tofu as outlined in his online profile.

Missy in Loma Linda, CA

Meet Missy! This sweet and sassy senior Ruby Cavalier is the perfect embodiment of the saying, “Age is just a number.” At approximately 12 years old, Missy’s world turned upside down when her owner passed away and she wound up in a shelter. While sad and missing her owner, when the rescue volunteer came to pick her up, Missy leapt into the car, friendly as can be, happy to be out of the shelter and back into a home!

She adjusted quickly to the new routines in her foster home alongside two Cavalier siblings. Missy caught on to using a doggie door in no time, learned to sit patiently, though not always quietly, while meals are prepared and much to her foster mom’s chagrin, often barks at animals on TV.

Larger in stature weighing 27 lbs, Missy needs to lose a few pounds so her foster mom carefully monitors daily portions at meal time. Her ideal weight per the vet is between 23-25 lbs. She is currently on a single protein, limited ingredient food to help with allergies.

Missy sleeps soundly through the night but once the sun comes up, she will let you know she is ready to start the day. She is playful, and regularly tries to engage the other dogs in a game of chase. She is a very lovable pup who is sweet, affectionate, and playful.

Missy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and recently had several skin tags removed, which only enhanced her already attractive appearance. Though she has some hair loss on her lower back and tail from years of untreated skin issues, she’s as lovable as ever. Missy is on medication to support her mobility, which helps keep her spry and active.

She enjoys neighborhood walks and is great on a leash. However, if she comes across a reactive dog, she’ll happily join in the chorus of barks. As an errand companion, Missy is a super star in the car. She is a quiet co-pilot, happy to ride along throughout your day.

Missy’s perfect forever home would be one filled with kindness, affection and the appreciation she truly deserves in her golden years. She’d especially enjoy the company of a like-minded, easygoing, playful mature pup and a home with low alone-time. In return, she promises unwavering devotion, heartwarming companionship, and the loyal love a senior dog can offer.

If you’d like to open your heart and home to this Golden Girl, please complete an online application. Then email Nanci at nancigordon@gmail.com to let her know of your interest in Missy.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Fluff N Flash https://fluffnflash.com in collaboration with HeARTS Speak for these photos of Missy.

Copper in East Lansing, MI

Copper is a happy, active and cuddly two-year-old Cavalier. Copper just wants to be the center of attention and be your shadow.

Copper comes to Cavalier Rescue USA after his owners’ work required more travel, and they did not have enough time for him. Copper (he got his name from his glowing Ruby coloring) is the ultimate definition of a Velcro dog, and just wants to love each human he meets. He’s an instant charmer and lover!

Copper absolutely loves walks just as much as he likes cuddling on the couch. He knows basic commands like “come,” “sit” and “down.” Copper is 95% housebroken, save an accident or two while in foster care. He may bark if he hears or sees another critter outside, and will occasionally bark at another dog during a walk.

He is playful, excitable and has quite a bit of energy to burn, so daily walks are a must for Copper. He would do well in a fur-ever home with another dog his size to play with.

No one loves a meal more than Copper. He’s very food motivated. He will never miss a meal or a treat! Copper does show some signs of resource guarding, and will growl if the foster Mom’s dogs get too close to him while he has a toy or treat. He has not shown any sign of severe aggression, but will growl or snap if another dog gets too close when he has something of value. Copper does not show any aggression with people, and allows his foster Mom to touch his food and take away toys with no issue.

Copper is crate trained. In his foster Mom’s home, he is kept in the kitchen with a dog bed at night and whenever she has errands to run. He shows some signs of separation anxiety when in a different room from his foster Mom. He will give out a few whimpers and barks, but he is not destructive. Copper will play and chew on toys, but nothing else in the house.

Copper’s vet gave him a clean bill of health, but Copper should lose about 10% of his body weight. His fur-ever family should have a routine that includes lots of walks. Copper is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, microchipped and ready for his forever home. If you are interested in Copper, please complete our online application if you haven’t done so already. Then email June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to express your interest in Copper.
