Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Chester in Tulsa, OK

Are you looking for a love sponge, velcro Cavalier with a lot of love to share and the time to do it? Then Chester is your boy! He is approximately 9 years old and was rescued from a breeding facility where he had minimal contact with people. He is a Blenheim Cavalier with a deep chestnut color and weighs 20 pounds. He has been microchipped, neutered, and had a dental cleaning with a few extractions.

Chester was extremely scared and skittish when he first arrived and everything was new and different. It has taken awhile to get him to come to his foster humans when they hold out their hand to pet him. Now he wants to be on the couch with them and follows them wherever they go in the house. He gets startled at unexpected noises or quick movements but has made great progress.

This boy doesn’t miss a meal and will enthusiastically tell you to hurry up when preparing his dish! He gets along well with other Cavaliers in the home and loves a fenced yard to run and get out his zoomies! He may be a little older, but you wouldn’t know it by his energy. He has done well with kids when the grandkids visit. He does not know how to use a leash with collar or harness yet.

Chester apparently didn’t have an opportunity to jump or climb stairs. He will not jump on the couch but will put his front paws on it and wait for you to scoop him up by his hind end. Pet stairs have been tried to no avail yet. It has been discovered that Chester loves anything paper from a receipt to a cardboard box. It is best to keep these things away from eye level and close off doors when you leave the house.

Chester was diagnosed with a heart murmur and prescribed daily medication that he will need for the rest of his life. Xrays showed a slightly enlarged heart but no outward symptoms of heart difficulty. He has a lot of life left to share with the right person. All other systems are good to go including great structure, ears, and vision.

Housetraining is going very well. It is best to go outside with him and make sure he has taken care of business before coming in. This is particularly important before he eats breakfast. He likes for you to go out with him and will come back to the door without leaving the porch if you don’t. Chester is a very sweet boy with big eyes that look at you intently. He would be a great companion for someone who is home a lot and has time to sit with him and give him the attention he has missed out on. Is that you?

Biscuit in Dallas, TX

Introducing Biscuit, a spunky nine-year-old Ruby gentleman with a zest for life and an endless supply of love to give.

Biscuit came to us after being left with a neighbor when his owners never returned home. Though he experienced some neglect, he arrived as a goofy, joyful boy who was immediately hungry for affection and human connection.

Biscuit’s favorite place is wherever his person happens to be. He thrives on companionship, and will happily be your loyal best friend for life. Belly rubs are his love language, and he will take every opportunity to curl up in your lap or snuggle close by.

Mornings and evenings are the highlights of Biscuit’s day. He eagerly awaits breakfast, dinner, and, of course, his midday snacks that bring him bursts of happiness. After meals, Biscuit is content simply being near his humans, settling comfortably wherever he finds himself welcome.

Biscuit is fully blind in his left eye and has limited vision in his right. He also has dry eyes that require daily drops. Despite his vision limitations, Biscuit doesn’t let it slow him down one bit, as he navigates his environment confidently and happily. Other than that, Biscuit is in good health, up to date on all vaccinations, and is microchipped. He arrived with dry skin that has significantly improved and continues to benefit from a special shampoo, though he may still be a bit flaky at times.

He is mostly potty trained, with the occasional accident. At night, Biscuit sleeps soundly on the bed, cuddled as close as possible to his chosen human.

Biscuit would thrive in a home with a secure yard and a family who is home most of the time to enjoy bonding and companionship with him.

He may playfully mouth if a toy isn’t nearby, so a home without young children is recommended.

He generally gets along with other dogs but can become reactive if growled at, so he would do best either as an only pet or with calm, non-dominant dogs.

Biscuit is ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a family who will cherish his sweet spirit, share in his daily routines and return the unconditional love he so freely gives.

If you believe you could be the perfect match for Biscuit, please email shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Be sure to submit our online application if you haven’t already done so, and review our FAQs before reaching out.Online Application

Xena in Easton, PA

Xena is a happy 10 year old female born 10/01/15. She was given to rescue by her owner who had her since she was a 3 month puppy and sadly needed to go into assisted living. Xena adjusted easily to our home, likes her walks, has had zero accidents in our home. She will signal when she needs to go out. On visits to relative’s home, Xena explores every area available like she lives there. She loves all people and children.

Xena can be reactive to dogs while on walks. At that time, her usual pleasant pace can change to pulling and barking toward the other dog. She can have a similar reaction to dogs on TV! She hasn’t been exposed to another dog in the home, but probably would be fine with the proper introduction. We were informed she is cat safe.

Xena weighs 26 pounds and could stand to lose a little weight. She eats well, and you must resist overfeeding her, as she loves to eat! She can be a little beggar, but will give up, if ignored. She is in good health with no medical issues; just had a dental and is recovering well. It is suggested to use a wet wipe after poops, as she may do a carpet scoot occasionally.

She has been left alone for around 4 hours without incident. She will whine and howl for a short time when home alone, but does settle down after a while. She is crate trained and does well riding in the car. She enjoys laying on the sofa and watching TV. The best new home will have someone around much of the time and a fenced yard.

Xena is a wonderful, easy-going companion pup with a great disposition who has no bad habits or fears. She’s a sweetheart.

Finn was surrendered to us with significant allergies that needed attention. He was miserable with severe yeast infections in his ears and paws. While in foster care he’s had a dental and started cytopoint allergy shots, as well as treatment for his ear and paw infections to finally get some relief. He is a happy boy now! His new family will need to be committed to his allergy treatment and keep an eye on his ears for possible infection.

Finn loves people and loves his foster siblings. He is houstrained and doesn’t mind his crate for a little while. He enjoys sleeping in the same room with you and would love an invitation to your big bed. He loves walks but pulls some on the leash. He is really excited when he sees the leash come out. He knows he is going bye bye. Finn is also really good in the car. He loves to give morning hugs and sometimes will look at you right in the eyes and put his face next to yours to give big hugs.

Finn will do best with a canine playmate and a fenced yard is a must. He would love daily walks. He likes to play fetch in your home or fenced yard. Low alone time is needed for him so you’ll need to either work from home or be retired to be considered.
