Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Belle & Perry Mason in Federal Way, WA

Meet Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason: a Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home.

Belle and Perry are a sweet, happy, affectionate bonded pair who are ready to find their forever family. Belle is a beautiful 5-year-old tri-color girl, and Perry is a handsome 3-year-old ruby boy with long, luscious locks. Fun fact: Perry is actually Belle’s uncle, even though he is younger than she is!

Belle and Perry came into rescue through no fault of their own due to a change in their family’s circumstances. They have been loved and well cared for, and it shows. Both dogs are healthy, friendly, social, and wonderfully easy to love. They are good with other dogs, good with cats, and love kids.

These two are lower-energy companions who are happiest simply being wherever their people are. Perry does enjoy a good round of zoomies when the mood strikes, but overall, they are content to cuddle, relax, supervise your day, and keep you company. They would love a home where someone is around a lot, works from home, or enjoys taking their dogs along on outings.

Belle and Perry would especially enjoy a home where they are welcomed on the furniture for prime snuggling opportunities and have a yard where they can safely explore. They are crate trained and housetrained. They may give a few light barking protests when first left alone, but they settle within about five minutes.

Both pups are healthy and had recent dental cleanings. Belle did have several of her front teeth removed, but she does not seem to notice or let it slow her down one bit. They have some tearing that requires daily cleaning but they don’t mind. Belle weighs 22 pounds, and Perry weighs 24 pounds.

Belle and Perry are also used to regular grooming. Perry’s gorgeous long coat does require daily brushing to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Their favorite things include cuddling, being near their people, exploring the yard, watching animals on TV, and occasionally barking at those very suspicious TV creatures. They are sweet, loving dogs who will bring warmth, laughter, and companionship to the right home.

Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason are bonded and are looking for a home together. If you are looking for two loyal, affectionate companions who already know how to be wonderful family dogs, Belle and Perry may be the perfect pair. Their ideal home has a fenced yard for them to explore and humans that can spend a lot of time with them. They’re compatible with cats, dogs and children over 5.

If you’d like to be considered for their new home, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously) and email Melissa at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.

Bonnie in Ypsilanti, MI

Me, me, me, me, ME! This adorable tricolor female born 07/29/2020 wants to be the center of attention and the center of her fur-ever home. Bonnie came into rescue after her owner could no longer care for her.

Bonnie arrived in foster care with a history of UTIs which our vet diagnosed as a symptom of an inverted vulva. Our vet performed corrective surgery to minimize this condition and make Bonnie much more comfortable. She is healing nicely and will get her stiches removed before adoption. Regular check-ups are all that is required now.

This little gal is one of the more alpha females we have had in rescue. She thrives on attention and wants to claim all of the human snuggles for herself. Bonnie is a bit bossy with the other Cavaliers in her foster home, definitely preferring to be close to her humans over playing with other dogs. She will bark at her humans when they are petting the other dogs and not Bonnie, or when they have forgotten to give her a special kiss or words of praise. For these reasons, we suggest she be placed as an only dog in her fur-ever home.

Bonnie is a bit overweight at 21 lbs and needs to lose a few more pounds which should be easily achievable with diet and exercise. She would benefit from daily walks to work on this weight loss journey and would really enjoy walks that allow her to meet the neighbors!

An active person or family (with older children) with someone home most of the time would be the perfect situation for Bonnie. She loves car rides and is always looking for an opportunity to go along on adventures — if it’s not too hot outside. Her favorite adventures are the ones that involve meeting new people so she can be in the spotlight. She enjoys both walking outdoors and being a couch potato indoors, sitting next to her people.

During the day Bonnie hangs out with her Cavalier foster siblings, while her foster mom works from home. This allows Bonnie frequent potty breaks. She has excellent house manners and doesn’t even mind the resident cats in her foster home. Bonnie is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccines. No heart murmur was detected during her recent vet visit.

If you have someone home during the day for regular potty breaks, live within a reasonable driving distance of the foster home and are looking to make Bonnie your only Cavalier/dog, please fill out the online adoption application (if you don’t already have an application on file) and contact June at (June.cavaliers@gmail.com) to let us know of your interest in this charming attention seeker.

Susan in Medina, OH

This beautiful sweetheart is Susan. She was given to rescue by a commercial breeder in mid-April. She is a sweet 6-year-old Ruby Cavalier with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She loves soft blankets and comfy dog beds. She enjoys being close to her people and is happiest when she can relax nearby.

Susan is a little timid at first but warms up after some time. She is currently in a foster home with two adults, an older Cavalier, a cat and two children. She truly enjoys the company of other animals in the home. She does really well with gentle and calm children. She struggles with fast movements and loud noises sometimes, but has shown improvement.

She is extremely calm and does not require much exercise. She is not interested in dog toys but she loves a play session with her Cavalier sister. She really loves a good belly rub. She enjoys yogurt, carrots and eggs as treats and takes them very gently.

She is house and crate trained and sleeps quietly in her crate. She will need a dog proof home to ensure she does not ingest anything. She enjoys grass and loves to roll onto her back and wiggle. She would do well in a home with minimal steps as she is still very wary of them. She is working on walking on a leash and learning how to sit and lay down. She was great when she visited the Veterinarian and groomer.

While in foster care, Susan has been updated on all recommended vaccines, microchipped, spayed and had a dental cleaning done with extractions. She weighs 20 lbs. She is on monthly heartworm prevention, and she is taking a good probiotic to keep her gut healthy.

Susan had a re-occurring UTI that has now cleared up with the correct antibiotic. She went into heat a couple of days after her dental and her spay was postponed for 8 weeks. A week before her scheduled spay, an emergency happened and she needed surgery for Pyometra. She is 2 weeks post-op and is recovering beautifully and had bloodwork done to recheck her WBC’s. It is recommended that she has bloodwork completed in 2 months to re-evaluate her liver enzymes (ALT). Despite her liver enzymes being elevated, she is in good health and ready to find her forever home.

Simba in Cotati, CA

Meet Simba, a two year old Ruby who is 13 lbs of sweetness. Simba is a breeder release and is looking for his forever home where he will be nurtured and loved.

Simba will do best with a canine companion. He loves to cuddle with people and other dogs. He follows his human and canine pack everywhere. He really likes to play with other dogs. He will follow their lead even for things he doesn’t understand such as where to potty and taking walks. He is easily trainable. He likes puffy treats, but otherwise is picky about treats. Simba is shy, but very agile with lots of energy. Nonetheless, he is happy being held in your arms or on your lap.

Simba has been checked by the vet and has been given a clean bill of health. He had a dental with three teeth removed. He will need to regularly have his teeth brushed.

Initially he had marking issues, but that is decreasing. It may be anxiety related. Otherwise he is mostly good about going outside but needs some work.

This sweet pup is a bit nervous. He shakes and cries in the car or new situations, but he improves as he adjusts. Simba is getting much better at being in the crate especially at night. He does not like being left alone.

He will bark at new people and even at his foster parents when they have been somewhere and come back in the room.

Simba needs a home with people who will be patient as he grows into the perfect dog he is meant to be. He has loads of love to give and great potential. If you think you are a good fit, please complete our online application if you have not already done so and then email sayrahk@gmail.com to indicate your interest.

Maisie in Baltimore, MD

Maisie is estimated to be about 7 years old and weighs in at around 16 lbs. She came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a breeding situation. At first arrival, she was extremely shy and unsure of herself. She did not know how to use stairs or eat without hiding food for later. Maisie has made great strides over the past month since she has been in foster care. She is a loving and resilient dog who is ready to find a forever home. After being rescued, she has shown just how affectionate, loyal, and eager she is to trust people.

Maisie is potty trained and crate trained but has had a few accidents in the house when allowed to roam free. Her tell is to come out and look for you and then quickly run back to her favorite spot. If you catch her in time, she prefers to go outside; she just doesn’t have the confidence yet to tell you directly.

Maisie is very quiet at first. She is also extremely tolerant. She has very low whines that let you know she is nearby and wants attention. With time, she will let you know she has a voice. When excited and happy (especially when you come home from work), she lets out an awkward and high-pitched scream. Her tail wags, and she looks at you with her beautiful, deep brown eyes. Maisie is starting to bark now that she has had 9 teeth removed and a dental cleaning and spay. She barks at horses, dogs, and birds on the television. She will also alert you if something unusual is happening outside. She doesn’t like loud noises and would be best suited in a house without young children or a lot of commotion.

Maisie is in foster care with 4 other dogs ranging in size from 5 lbs to 65lbs. She enjoys being part of the pack and has quickly learned the house rules, but she doesn’t like to wrestle or play. Maisie prefers spending time with people, watching television, rolling around in the garden, and relaxing in a cozy spot to nap (the center of the sofa). Maisie tolerates the active puppy, but she has a gentle personality and is happiest when left to wander by herself around the house or yard. When sitting next to her, she will take full advantage and invade all of your privacy. She will nuzzle up as close as she can lay her extra-soft head on you and give you gentle licks.

Maisie is house-trained/crate-trained, up to date on vaccinations, and has been spayed. She was diagnosed with Mitral valve disease and has a stage 4 heart murmur. She has been on medication which costs about $50 a month. She will also need regular cardiac care along with her regular vet care. Maisie has also had extensive dental work and would benefit from regular teeth brushing. She is very tolerant, and this should not be difficult to accomplish. More information can be provided if requested.

Like many rescue dogs, Maisie has overcome challenges but continues to blossom every day with patience, kindness, and routine. She is looking for a home where she can continue to thrive and share unconditional love.

If you’re looking for a faithful companion who will reward your kindness with endless affection, Maisie could be the perfect addition to your family.

If you are a great match for Maisie, please read through the adoption process protocol and complete an online application if you haven’t already. Kindly also indicate your interest in Maisie by emailing the coordinator for Maryland at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Stella in Broken Arrow, OK

(NOTE: My screenwriter says youse need to read this like you been binge streaming The Sopranos. Cue the theme music: heavy bass, slow zoom on me struttin’ down the Jersey Tulsa sidewalk like I own every inch of it.)

Da name is Stella. Stella “2 Patella” Mortadella is what they call me down at the neighborhood bodega. You mighta heard of me. I’m the Capo – the enforcer – for the Cavalieri mob. We specialize in crimes of passion. My particular MO (da foster lady says that Latin for modus operandi) is suffocating my victims with love and kisses. She also says I’m a force, the Cavalieri crew’s top enforcer of affection overwhelm. My weapon of choice? Kisses. My motive? Love (and good treats, naturally). My alibi? Always airtight.

Let’s get somethin’ straight right off the bat: if you’re a man, I prefer you sittin’ down until I’ve conducted my security check. I gotta make sure you’re unarmed, relaxed, and ideally carryin’ contraband snacks. Once I confirm you’re clean — or better yet, loaded with treats — then we can talk cuddles, kisses, maybe even a little supervised belly rub. Standing men? Suspicious. Sitting men with treats? Familia! The minute you sit down, I’m droppin’ the tough girl act and curlin’ up like you’re my favorite underboss.

At my foster compound, I run a tight operation. Me and my crew conduct “nap practice” — tactical recharging — in the gated dining room until the humans return. When they walk through that door? Boom! The love mob mobilizes. I run my crew like the seasoned capo I am: cuddle drills, high speed zoomie operations, all executed with military precision.

And I got crew requirements: I like runnin’ with dogs my age who can keep up, or seniors who still got a little fire, humans who understand loyalty is earned (with snacks), capisce?

Mealtime? Listen, I ain’t a growler. I’m a ghost. One second the bowls are all full — next second it’s a cold case. No witnesses. No evidence. No regrets. You might wanna feed me separately from the other residents at first. And I’m a hearty eater. None of that picky stuff.

The massage part of dis bath thing is nice and I don’t mind a good brushing, but those hair dryers? Fuggedaboutit! They’re loud, unpredictable, and probably workin’ for the Feds.

I’m housebroken like a made woman — out at daylight, meals, every few hours, then bedtime. And you’re comin’ with me. I gotta guard you from intruders, suspicious objects, and anything that looks like it might owe me money.

I’m fast, really fast for a dog that’s been kneecapped. Yeah, I’ve been “kneecapped.” Not mob style — congenital. But the rescue folks brought in a surgeon who’s basically the Michael Corleone of orthopedics. Two kneecaps – patellas – repaired and ready for another 100,000 miles. Now I run, jump, and spin like I’m dodgin’ a RICO charge. You’ll need a fenced yard. A secure fenced yard. I got wheels like a getaway car. And make sure you don’t leave the door open. I can outrun you and the FBI.

This leash thing ain’t too bad. I’m learnin’ the ropes — sniffin’ everything, takin’ my time with strangers. A training class? That’s like a corporate retreat for me. I’m smart, motivated, and ready to rise through the ranks.

My offer to you:

If you want a dog equal parts sweetheart, street legend, and professional treat inspector,

if you want loyalty thicker than Sunday gravy

if you want kisses that hit harder than a union dispute…

I’m ready to make you family.

Just remember: Men sit first. Treats out. Respect the process.

If you are looking for a bright, energetic young girl with great disposition and lots of enforced affection (yes, that means leaping in your arms and pinning you to the sofa), fill out the online application and contact Janis Stauffer at okstauffer@AOL.com. Her guy will get with my guy.
