Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Please help Finn ❤️

Finn is a very sweet boy whose owner recently went into a nursing home. He turns 2 years old in October and is as sweet as can be. Unfortunately, he is lame and in pain from a grade 4 luxating patella. He has a significant amount of muscle loss on that side of his body from not using that leg due to the pain. He needs surgery to correct this issue so he can have a normal and pain free life.

We would be very grateful for donations to help make this boy feel in tip top shape. Please fill out the form below to donate and help Finn to get the surgery that he needs.

Bella in Pasadena, MD

Bella is a 4-year-old Cavalier whose former family put her needs first, knowing she needed more attention than she was getting when circumstances changed in their home. She is ready for her forever home now – is your family the right fit for her?

Bella has separation anxiety and would whine for long periods of time when left alone in her previous home. She will also scratch at the doors. She needs a home where someone is home most of the time and has time to shower her with love.

Bella barked to go outside when necessary at her previous home, and she learned quickly to go outside using a dog door at her foster home and she enjoys having a yard. Bella enjoys meandering about the yard but usually only when her person and/or another dog is outside with her.

Bella is a beautiful girl with a matching personality. She loves to give hugs and will try to smother her human with love. She also loves to give kisses (ok, maybe a full-face bath). Bella has settled into her foster home well. She loves a lap and blanket to lay on. She will snooze on your lap and let you pet her for hours. Bella walks well on a leash and she loves to meet other pets in the neighborhood. She does not like to be left and will try to bolt out the door when humans leave. She is very fast, so caution is needed to ensure her safety.

She loves car rides and likes to see the world outside the window! Bella plays with the toys in her foster home some, but more than anything, she loves to get another dog running with her and playing when she gets the zoomies. She loves chewing on bones and will occasionally chew on inappropriate things if she is not supervised and doesn’t have a bone available.

Bella was recently spayed and had a dental. Her vaccinations are current until 2025. She was a bit overweight when rescued and is now at her perfect weight of 19 pounds. She needs someone committed to keeping her at the right weight. Bella has always eaten home-cooked food, so she would probably do best in a home where she gets home-cooked or raw food. She is a beggar, so someone will need to be very skilled at saying no and working with her to not beg.

Bella is accustomed to sleeping in the big bed with her human family and cries if not allowed in the bed. Bella has done very well with a companion and would like another dog in her forever home.

Bella is being fostered in Pasadena, MD. If you think your family would meet Bella’s needs, please complete an online application (if you haven’t already done so) and email Diane Lombardo at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Lula in Chesterfield, MO

Meet Lula (Azula), a spirited 1-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel born 2/15/23. Lula has a heart full of life and a playful energy that brightens any room. This little bundle of joy is as vivacious as they come, and she adores spending time with her foster family, especially her furry foster brother. Lula gets along great with other dogs and even cats, making her the perfect companion for a multi-pet household.

Lula is a true princess at heart and absolutely adores being the center of attention! Whether she’s lounging on a pile of soft blankets or sitting proudly on the couch, she loves to be treated like royalty. Lula thrives when she’s surrounded by love and affection, and she’ll happily soak up all the attention you can give her. In her ideal home, she’ll be pampered and doted on, just the way she likes it! While she enjoys the comfort of sleeping in the big bed, she’s crate trained and settles down happily at night, in fact she loves to put herself to bed.

A lover of adventure, Lula thrives on daily walks and eagerly joins her foster family on 2 to 3-mile outings. After her adventures, she’s all about snuggling on the couch, receiving belly rubs, and enjoying treats.

Lula’s early life remains a bit of a mystery, but it’s clear she didn’t receive the affection and care she deserved. As a result, she’s cautious about sharing her prized possessions and is working on overcoming resource guarding behaviors with the help of her trainer. She’s made great strides, responding positively to trade-offs with high-value treats. Lula does best with gentle, happy voices and positive reinforcement. She is sure to be a success with consistency, love, and some patience.

Lula LOVES kids, but because of her occasional bursts of guarding, a family with children over the age of 5 years old would be ideal. The perfect family will need to understand Lula’s tendency to guard what she considers “her treasures” and work with her on this. Kids who understand the importance of respecting Lula’s space and her need for patience when it comes to sharing toys and treats would help her thrive in her forever home. Lula is learning to share, but it’s a process, so a family willing to guide her through this with love and understanding would be just right!

Lula is still very much a puppy at heart, and like any curious youngster, she loves to explore the world with her mouth! Whether it’s socks, shoes, or anything she can find, Lula’s playful nature means she’ll need a family that can keep an eye on her and guide her with gentle reminders. With a little supervision, she’ll learn what’s safe to chew and what’s off-limits. Her curiosity is just part of her charm, and with the right boundaries, Lula’s zest for life will bring lots of fun and laughter to her new home!

If you’re ready to give Lula the home she deserves and help her continue her journey, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Rescue Coordinator Sarah at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com. This lively, curious pup can’t wait to meet you!

Sophia in Seattle, WA

Meet Sophia, a 3-year-old Ruby Cavalier with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! Weighing in at 15 pounds, Sophia is a little bundle of joy who has a natural knack for bringing smiles wherever she goes. In true Cavalier fashion, she loves to meet new people and walks often include many stops to be admired by new friends. Sophia came into rescue because although her previous family clearly loved her, their busy schedules and life changes meant that Sophia wasn’t getting the attention she craved and needed.

Sophia has adapted well to her foster home in downtown Seattle and has already mastered the art of sitting politely in the elevator, showing off her quick learning skills and eagerness to please (for a treat!). Sophia would flourish in a home that’s excited to continue her training and help her reach her full potential. She gets along very well with her Cavalier foster brother and would do well with a similar sized dog with a calm temperament.

Since coming into rescue, Sophia has had treatment for a corneal ulcer, UTI, and stubborn skin infection. We believe that she has allergies, and while she has responded well to switching to Honest Kitchen fish formula food and regular medicated baths, her forever family will need to continue working to ensure that she is healthy and comfortable.

Sophia is incredibly fast and loves to play with her foster brother, zooming wild circles in the grass. She enthusiastically plays with toys, and on her first day downtown chewed the squeaker out of a little stuffed pig. She just as enthusiastically takes naps, contentedly sleeping under her foster mom’s desk while she works or flopping nearby in a puddle of sunshine.

While Sophia enjoys the companionship of her foster brother, a big mellow Cavalier, she is a typical Velcro Cavalier and always wants to be by your side; she is a true people-lover and thrives on human companionship. She would do best in a household with minimal alone time.

Sophia has a tremendous zest for life; so much so that sometimes she leaks a little when she gets really excited. While in her foster home, this has been successfully managed by training her foster family to be particularly calm with greetings in the morning and when her foster dad comes home from work in the afternoon.

Whether it’s snuggling up on the couch or enjoying a fun training session, Sophia is ready to be your loyal companion. If you think Sophia could be a good match for you, complete our application (if you haven’t previously) and then email Melissa Cincotta at happycavaliers04@gmail.com to express your interest.

Lagertha in University City, MO

My name is Lagertha. I was named after a Viking Princess Warrior, but while I can be brave, I am definitely a lover!

My first owner gave me to rescue due to a big change in the family. When we moved, there were too many dogs and people, and I was just too active. I am just out of puppyhood with a birthdate of 5/17/23, but still love to play and run around the house. Mom says I am the perfect age and often calls me her sweet clown!

I love to chase the squirrels and bunnies and birds in the back yard (still haven’t been able to catch one of those rascals!) and to go on walks in the park. So many things to explore and sniff. If I am not outside I love to watch them from the window, and bark to let them know I am still here to protect my human from the evil squirrels!

I am housebroken but haven’t learned how to tell mom but she takes me out to the back yard every 3 or 4 hours, so I have learned it is best to potty outside. After I play with my toys, I love to plop down in mom’s lap, get a belly rub and take a nap. I sleep in a crate by mom’s bed at night with no problem, and sleep all night. I would LOVE to get in the big bed and sleep next to my person.

I love playing with my foster brother and sisters, but if you are home most of the time, let me ride shotgun when you go places, and let me be your shadow, I would be happy too. No cats please! Oops, Mom wants the computer, so I will let her finish.

Lagertha is a joy to have around, and such a sweet loving pup. She was spayed, no dental needed for this girl’s pearly whites. Other than some digestive distress on occasion, she is healthy and active and would love to go on daily walks with you. She chases balls, plays with toys and plays well with her siblings here. There are nightly zoomies, and she is so much fun to watch. Lagertha loves her belly rubs and will roll over for one at any time. She is 14 pounds of wiggles and kisses, and is eager to share both with her person.

Lagertha is a tricolor, and has the sweetest freckles on her snout and one hind leg is black colored. Her “feathers” make it look like she is wearing fluffy pants! Her coloring is beautiful, as is her personality. She would do well with another pup or if you are home most of the time and would like a velcro pup to adore you, she is your girl. She still needs to work on the down command as she is so excited to jump up and get your attention, but she is smart and picks up things quickly and loves car rides. Very alert, curious and adaptable are just some of the words to describe this girl. She will definitely bring joy into any loving, attentive home.

If you are interested in adopting this pup and meet what we are looking for in her new home, please fill out the online application if you haven’t already and then contact Rescue Coordinator Sarah Noebels at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com so she know of your interest.

Molly in Sidney, IL

Good Golly! Miss Molly is looking for her forever home and family.

Her foster family says she is a sweetheart and wants to be petted and loved as much as possible.

Right now, Molly resides with three other Cavaliers, a cat, two adults and one 11-year-old boy. She is great with everyone in the home and everyone she meets.

Molly is a cutie-patootie and super friendly. She can be a little skittish about loud noises and fast movements, but she has come a long way since leaving the commercial breeding facility.

Molly is house trained; she has been excellent with that in her foster home. She’s only had a couple of accidents in the house. She is also crate trained with only one accident in her crate. Molly has shown she likes to chew on socks, pillowcases, gloves, and stuffed toys when she gets too bored, so her forever family will need to keep an eye on her.

Molly loves to run around in the fenced yard. She isn’t great on a leash yet, but she seems to be a quick learner, and would love to go on walks someday to burn off some of that young energy.

Molly’s birthdate is unknown, but the commercial breeder who gave her to Cavalier Rescue USA said she is 3-4-years-old, and our vet agrees. Since coming to Cavalier Rescue USA, Miss Molly has been brought up to date on her shots, has been microchipped, spayed, had a full dental, and is on heartworm/flea/tick prevention.

Unfortunately, Molly lost eight teeth during her dental, but that doesn’t stop her from eating her meals or treats. She is a healthy girl. The vet didn’t detect a heart murmur or luxating patellas, which is amazing.

The ideal home for Molly would have a securely physically fenced in yard and someone home part of the day. Currently Molly’s foster family works full-time, and Molly is in her crate during the day with a pet sitter coming in and letting all the household pups potty and play for an hour.

Someone who has the time and patience to teach Molly to walk on a leash and enjoy walks in the park or around town would be ideal. Molly is a very special girl learning to be the pup she was meant to be, and will make a great addition to the right family. If you can provide Molly’s forever home, please submit an adoption application if you haven’t already. Then email Meg Hutson Eisenmenger at cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.Online Application
