Wrigley in Nashville, TN

Meet Wrigley – A Sweet Senior with a Whole Lot of Heart

Wrigley may be 11 years young, but don’t let that number fool you—this charming little gentleman still has plenty of spunk left in him! He recently came into rescue after his beloved mom passed away and his dad was no longer able to care for him. While his world changed overnight, Wrigley has handled it with the same sweet, easygoing spirit that makes everyone who meets him fall instantly in love.

Wrigley is the definition of a friendly companion. He gets along wonderfully with the other pups in his foster home and greets every person he meets like they’re an old friend. His gentle, affectionate personality makes him an absolute joy to have around.

This handsome boy has been well cared for. He is neutered, microchipped, and recently had a dental. Wrigley does have a very slight heart murmur and is deaf, but neither slows him down one bit. In fact, he has adapted beautifully—he simply watches for visual cues from his people and carries on with life as happy as can be.

One of Wrigley’s most endearing habits is his bedtime routine. He has slept in his kennel since he was a puppy and absolutely loves it. During the day you’ll often find him happily napping there with the door open. At night, all you have to do is point to the kennel and he trots right in like the good boy he is and waits for his treat.

Wrigley is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by kindness, cozy naps, and people who appreciate what a special little soul he is. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will greet you with warmth and sweetness every single day, Wrigley might just be your perfect match. Sometimes the best treasures come with a little gray on their face – and Wrigley is proof of that.

If you’re interested in welcoming Wrigley into your home and live within three to four hours of Nashville, Tennessee, please complete the online application if you haven’t already and then email Liz Nigh at lizcavalierusa@gmail.com to express your interest. Please be sure to include your city and state in your email.

Patch in Rogersville, MO

Meet Patch! Patch is an energetic and playful boy who came to Cavalier Rescue USA through a commercial breeder. Our veterinarian estimated Patch is between 2 and 3-years-old. Since he entered foster care, Patch has had a much-needed bath, dental cleaning, and neutering. He is currently finishing a course of antibiotics for an ear infection. Otherwise, Patch is a healthy 15 lb boy. He loves to play with his Cavalier housemates, but he is shy and skittish around people. It is a brand new world for Patch, and he is learning to adjust to new surroundings, people, and experiences.

Patch appears to have limited experience with people and is learning to trust his foster mom. When she walks nearby, Patch takes a few steps back to keep her at a distance. Although he avoids being petted, he follows his foster mom around the house and eagerly approaches her hand for a treat. Patch also enjoys sitting close on the couch, but on his own terms. He jumps onto the end of the sofa and gradually moves toward his foster mom, joining her and the other Cavaliers, who are snuggled together. Initially, Patch slept in a crate upon arriving at his foster home, but now he sleeps on a bed in his foster mom’s room. He likes to spend time in the big bed before bed so we know he would ultimately like to sleep in bed with his forever family and other pets.

He potties on a schedule and has had only a few accidents since arriving in foster care. Patch has gradually adjusted to the household routines and has settled in nicely. Patch has discovered and loves squeak toys, balls, and chewing on bones.

Although Patch has shown improvement, he remains wary around people, avoids physical contact, and isn’t a snuggler. He hasn’t shown any aggression in his foster home. However, when his foster mom approaches to pick him up, he cowers and protests by barking or softly growling—more like a grumbling complaint. Yet, he offers no resistance, and once he’s in her arms, Patch is a perfect gentleman.

Patch will make an ideal companion for individuals and couples who have the time and patience to work with him, earn his trust, and allow him to move at his own pace. Since Patch is uncomfortable being petted, he is not appropriate for households with young children. He will do best in a home with established routines and another easy-going, calm, mature dog that can help Patch adjust to his forever home. Patch requires a secure, physically fenced yard.

If you can provide Patch with a loving, patient forever home, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already and then email Sarah at cavalierrescuesarah@gmail.com to let her know you are interested in Patch.

Ruby and Lucy in Greensboro, NC

Ruby and Lucy are a bonded pair of 7 year old Cavalier girls who are ready to fill a home with love. These affectionate ladies came into rescue when their owner lost her home. She knew they needed to be safe in a warm, caring home.

Ruby and Lucy had separation anxiety when they first came into rescue. They would find any means to get to their foster Mom, even leaping over a 3 ft gate to get to her. With love, training and patience, they soon blossomed into two happy, confident girls that are thrilled with being with their foster mom and siblings.

Ruby is a 20 pound Ruby who is happy, loving, and laidback. She adores everyone, human and canine. She runs around the backyard like a young pup. Her favorite thing in the world is laying by you while you gently pet her. She will let you know if she wants more by tapping you with her nose. She enjoys looking out the front window with her foster siblings to make sure her home does not get invaded by outsiders. Ruby was spayed, microchipped and had a dental where she lost 19 teeth. She is eating well on kibble with a small amount of canned food.

Lucy is a 14 pound Blenheim who only wants to curl up right next to you. She will try to figure out where you are going to sit next and before you turn around, there she is waiting for you. Eventually you will see her curled up by Ruby for a nap. Lucy was spayed, microchipped and had a dental, where she sadly lost all of her teeth. She is doing well on small kibble mixed with water and some canned food.

Vetting revealed that both Ruby and Lucy are congenitally sound with good eyes, knees, hips and heart. All of their lab work came back normal and negative. They have been treated for very bad ear infections in both ears, which will need to be cleaned weekly. They are both on monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication.

Ruby and Lucy are housebroken if taken outside regularly or will go on a pee pad if needed. They have mastered the doggie door, but still wish to go out with their foster Mom and siblings.

Lucy is a very fast eater and will attempt to consume the other dogs’ food if she can. Her foster Mom separates her in another room to help with this. They both sleep in the kitchen near their foster siblings, but should do well sleeping in a bed.

Ruby and Lucy’s ideal home is one where someone is home most of the time. Another like-sized canine would be great. They have not been tested around cats or children.

If you are interested in adopting both Ruby and Lucy, meet the criteria, and live within a reasonable driving distance to Greensboro, NC, please complete the online adoption application and notify Angie H of your interest by emailing her at nccavalierrescuemom@gmail.com

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.
