Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Dee Dee in North Bend, WA

Meet Dee Dee! This curious, very sweet, energetic 7-month-old girl (born 10-24-25) is ready to find her forever home! She came into rescue after curiosity almost got the best of her when she escaped the safety of her family’s yard and unfortunately was hit by a car. She came to Cavalier Rescue USA roughly a week after she had surgery to repair her right hind leg, but the long road to recovery was a bit too much for her previous family so they opted to release her in order to get her the care she needs to heal properly.

During her time in rescue, Dee Dee had to spend seven weeks on very restricted activity to heal her fractured leg (meaning a lot of kennel time), which was definitely not fun for such a high energy puppy who wants nothing more than to play and run. As difficult as it was to keep her contained to heal, her foster family (and Dee Dee for that matter) are so happy to say that she has fully recovered and can finally get the activity she so desperately needs! She was recently spayed, had the pins from her leg removed, and is up to date on her vaccines. Dee Dee is so ready to finally be just a normal, rambunctious little puppy again!

Dee Dee is your typical busy body, playful, happy-go-lucky, curious little pup with endless amounts of energy that she is just waiting to get out. While Dee Dee at first glance seems like a carefree, outgoing pup, she does show significant traits of separation anxiety. When her foster family is not near her and she cannot be with them, she can get quite vocal in letting them know she’s not happy. However, her foster family noticed that Dee Dee always does so much better with a canine companion to keep her company, especially during the long kennel sessions when she was healing and having serious FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) about what everyone else was doing.

Additionally, she does require a particular bedtime routine when crated, but we believe she’d be much happier sleeping in bed with her family. Also of note is that she is a bit of an early riser as she’s always eager to start her day. While her previous family shared that Dee Dee had anxiety doing things outside of the comforts of home, our ability to test has been limited due to activity restrictions. However, she’s been going to work with her foster mom at a vet clinic where she’s happy to snuggle up in a kennel with her foster brother.

Dee Dee loves interacting with other dogs and being part of the action! She loves playing with her two canine foster brothers now that she can have more activity, being a member of the pack and finally going wherever they go. Her foster family feels that it is an absolute must that Dee Dee goes to a home with another dog as she truly needs canine companionship.

Dee Dee’s foster family feels that the perfect home for her would be a home with a physically fenced and secure yard, low alone time hours, another dog in the household for her to play with, and a family to continue working on her training and take on her puppy energy. Dee Dee does very well with her potty training, but she should be let out often as she’s still a puppy and accidents, while rare, can happen. She is very strong, and pulls on her leash, so her new family will need to continue her leash training. She is very food motivated and enjoys a variety of toys, from food dispensing toys to keep her occupied, to balls and stuffy toys.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know this sweet girl! She will bring so much happiness and energy to her household. Once Dee Dee has all her freedom, where she can run and play as she pleases, her foster family feels that her separation anxiety will improve. Dee Dee can’t wait to meet her new family and be a normal, silly puppy again!

Toby was surrendered by his owner who didn’t have time to give him the life he deserves. He has only had one previous owner.

Toby is as sweet as he can be. He’s a puppy through and through, with tons of energy and a true zest for life.

Toby is very friendly. He’s never met a a stranger.

Toby loves walking on a leash with his foster Mom, and does a great job on every walk.

He has been enjoying a fenced-in yard with two other dogs to play with. Toby gets along well with the other dogs. He has not, however, been observed around cats.

Toby is crate-trained when his foster family leaves the house for brief periods. He enjoys sleeping in his crate all night. He really loves his crate.

Toby does very well with children, and loves playing with them. He also loves his toys, especially stuffed animals. He loves cuddling on the couch …once he gets his energy out.

Toby is very happy go-lucky and goes with the flow. He does not seem to be bothered by a chaotic events, such as the arrival of house guests.

He is great at going potty outside if he is taken out every few hours.

He is the sweetest boy, and will do well in a family with children and lots of fun activities.

Oliver in North Plainfield, NJ

Hi! I’m Oliver, a handsome 2 year old Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was born on November 15, 2023. I weigh 19 pounds right now, though the vet says I could stand to lose a few pounds and would be happiest around 15-16 pounds. I was very much loved and cared for by my previous family, but I came into rescue after they realized the environment I was living in wasn’t the best fit for me. Now, I’m looking for a very special forever home that understands my quirks and will love me just the way I am.

I’m up to date on vaccines, am neutered and microchipped, and ready to find my perfect match.

First things first: if you love playing fetch, we might just be soulmates. Fetch is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I love it outside, I love it inside, and I never seem to get tired of it. A fenced yard would be a dream come true because I’d happily spend several sessions a day chasing balls and toys.

I’m a very loving boy who enjoys being with my people, but I do have some special requirements. My foster family says I come with an instruction manual. I prefer to think of myself as a dog who knows exactly what he likes!

I must be the only pet in the home. I’m happiest when I don’t have to share the spotlight with other dogs, cats, or any other animals. I also need an adult only home with no children, whether they live in the home or visit regularly. My ideal home is calm, predictable, and able to respect the boundaries that help me feel safe and successful.

I like routine and have a very specific dinner ritual and diet requirements. If things aren’t done the way I think they should be, I may politely let you know by staring at you and refusing to eat until you try again. Consistency makes me feel safe and comfortable.

Outside of my little quirks, I’m actually a pretty laid-back guy. After a good game of fetch, I’m perfectly happy hanging out while you work, relaxing nearby, or watching the world go by from a comfy spot. I love being around my people, but am not a lap dog. One of my favorite things is showing off my toys. If you’ve been gone for a while or someone comes to visit, chances are I’ll proudly greet them with a toy in my mouth.

I can also be vocal when I see other animals or hear things going on around me. Dogs walking by the house, animals on TV, or unexpected noises may earn a few barks. Because of this, a single-family home may be the best fit for me, and my new family should be prepared to continue working with me on my reactivity.

I do well going into the backyard on a leash to take care of business, but I currently prefer staying close to home rather than going for walks. With patience, confidence building, and training, my foster family believes I can continue making progress.

I have also shown some guarding behaviors from time to time and may growl in certain situations. The good news is that it isn’t consistent, and with proper training and management, my foster family believes I can continue improving. At the end of the day, I’m a sweet, loving boy looking for someone who understands me and is willing to embrace my quirks. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion, an enthusiastic fetch partner, and a toy-carrying greeter who’s always happy to see you.

If you live within a reasonable driving distance of North Plainfield, NJ and are interested in adopting me, please email Rebecca Plimpton at beckplimpton@gmail.com and fill out an application if you don’t already have one on file.

Piper and Magic in Lewisburg, OH

Meet Piper and Magic, a delightful bonded pair looking for a loving home together.

Hello, my name is Piper. I am 11 years old and was born January 6, 2015. I weigh 18 pounds. My color is Blenheim. I have a small thumbprint on my head between my ears. My foster parents can tell me and Magic apart by the spot. I have big, beautiful eyes. I don’t hear very well, but I follow Magic, my foster dog siblings and my foster parents around well. Magic and I were given to the Cavalier Rescue USA by our owner who had a change in family circumstances and sadly could no longer keep us. Our owner wanted a perfect forever home for us. She said that we deserve it.

I am a happy easy-going dog. Nothing bothers me. I am always wagging my tail. I love being as close to my foster parents as possible. I follow them everywhere. I sleep in a dog bed with Magic, in my foster parents’ bedroom. Occasionally, when my Aussie mix foster sister leaves the room, I will climb the doggie stairs and snuggle with my foster dad.

I’ve had my shots, am spayed, micro-chipped, and had two tumors taken out of my tummy that were benign. I had some dental work done and I lost all my teeth. My foster dad takes kibble and wets it and stores in the refrigerator. He warms in the microwave and smashes it with a fork for me to eat. I am housebroken when taken out on the schedule. My foster parents are home most of the time, so I go outside every 3 to 4 hours. Magic and I will take walks, but we are not that excited about them.

Hello, my name is Magic. I am also a Blenheim Cavalier. I weigh 19 pounds and I’m nine years old. My birthday is February 21, 2017. I am very close to Piper. When she left to go to the vet I cried and scratched at the door. I protect Piper. She needs me. Although, I am a bit more afraid of things than she is. I love to follow my foster parents around. I do well with my foster Cavalier that is here. I don’t do so well with the bigger foster dog. She’s nosy and always wants to know what everybody’s doing. She licks my head too. I will eat the other dog’s food, so my foster parents put me behind the gate to eat. I do growl if someone is eating a snack in the living room and I think the other dogs are getting too close to it. I am working on those things. My two favorite things are to be petted and sitting beside someone. I have all my shots. I have a low-grade murmur but not on any meds yet. I am micro-chipped and housebroken. Sometimes I wet on the patio instead of the yard.

For this pair, we are looking for a family where someone is around much of the time that has a fenced yard and kids over the age of 8 (if there are children in the family). If you meet all what we’re looking for and live within three hours of Lewisburg, OH. please complete our online application if you haven’t already and email Sherry Morgan morgans817@sbcglobal.net so she knows of your interest.

Bailey in Apollo Beach, FL

Meet Bailey, the most handsome, sweet, sprightly Cavalier you ever want to meet. Born on July 22, 2018 Bailey may be approaching his 8th birthday but you’d never know it. He is playful with just enough spunk to make him seem half his age. Bailey loves to go for long walks and spending time outdoors, play with toys and chase lizards. He adores people, wants to meet other dogs and is wonderful with gentle young children.

Being a true Cavalier at heart, Bailey simply wants to be near his people. He follows his foster mom from room to room, including resting under her desk when she’s working. He is a very good listener, knows basic commands and most importantly, understands the word “no”. Being exceptionally well behaved, he doesn’t jump on the furniture unless asked and sleeps in his crate all night long. Bailey is fully house trained and has good manners at mealtime.

Bailey is a very sweet boy who came into Rescue when his owner could no longer care for them. In an act of love and selflessness, their owner gave the pups to Cavalier Rescue USA. While they arrived together, we do not believe they are a bonded pair, as they don’t rely on one another for comfort or companionship. Because Bailey loves attention we feel he would be happy either as an only dog getting lots of love and care from an active owner or in a home with other friendly dogs to romp and play with.

Recently, Bailey had a full check up with the vet and received a good report, even though at 35 lbs he does need to lose a few pounds. He’s lost a few already since being with his foster mom and with continued exercise, the pounds will come off. Before coming into our care, Bailey had a dental and lost 14 teeth but he doesn’t miss them. He’s up to date on all vaccines, has a microchip, and is on preventatives. Bailey is a beautiful boy who gets lots of compliments where ever he goes. He has big brown eyes that say please love me.

Bailey is a happy boy who thrives on getting and giving love and attention but doesn’t like being left alone and has separation anxiety. His foster mom puts him in his crate when she leaves so he feels safe and secure. Bailey’s new family will need to be home most of the day and help him with this behavior to be a more confident dog.

If you think you’d love the companionship of a loyal, sweet, boy to go for walks with and cuddle on the couch, then Bailey may be your guy. Bailey is with his foster mom in Apollo Beach, Florida, and if you live within 2 hours of there and are interested in adopting him, please fill out an application online if you haven’t already and then end an email to Sue Wesson at suewesson@snet.net to let her know.

Daisy and Rubee in Arlington, VA

Daisy and Rubee (Ruby) are a deeply bonded pair of Cavaliers who are as sweet as they come and incredibly easy to love. They came into rescue when their devoted owner could no longer provide the care they needed. They’ve adapted beautifully to their foster home-showing just how gentle, affectionate, and low maintenance they are. Rubee and Daisy thrive on companionship, both with each other and their humans. While they love being by your side, they also settle calmly when left alone together. Nights are peaceful too as they sleep soundly keeping each other company.

Daisy is a 7-year-old Blenheim beauty with the softest expression that will absolutely melt your heart. She is calm, affectionate, and when she gets excited, her adorable happy barks say it all. Daisy is overweight, weighing in at 32 lbs. and this has caused her to have some mobility issues. She struggles with one step, so she needs a home with minimal steps that she can easily navigate. She loves to go on walks, but they need to be kept short. She has a heart murmur detected, but no meds are necessary at this time.

Rubee is a 6-year-old Ruby colored sweetheart who loves being the center of attention. She still has playful energy, but mostly loves cuddling up in your lap. Rubee is overweight, weighing in at 30 lbs. Both girls need to be kept on a weight loss plan, but they have already lost a few pounds while in foster care. Rubee loves to go on walks and gets so excited when the leashes come out.

Daisy and Rubee are looking for a loving home where their owners are home most of the day and there are limited stairs. One step out to a fenced in backyard would be ideal. The girls love spending time outside. Daisy and Rubee happily greet any dog or person they meet, so children and other dogs in the home should be no problem.
