Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

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

Finnegan in Derby Line, VT

Are you ready for your new best friend? Meet Finnegan, a happy, playful, Cavapoo with joyful brown eyes and a mischievous spirit! Finnegan is looking for his forever family to provide him with puppy training, warm snuggles and endless love. Finnegan was born on 9-17-25, and shortly after, was released to the rescue through no fault of his own.

Finnegan loves to play with his toys, fetch and snuggle! Need help in your home office? Finnegan will gladly shred papers. Need help in the bathroom? Finnegan will unravel an entire roll of toilet paper just for you! He has mastered ringing a bell to go outside, sit, and being released to eat a meal. Finnegan is working on leash training and recall. He is treat-motivated and wants to learn. Since Finnegan is still learning, his new family should be committed to continuing his training.

Finnegan has started crate training and is doing well through the night with no accidents. He would prefer to be closer to his family. A crate in the bedroom helps him fall right to sleep. Finnegan loves snuggling and being with his family. Someone who is home most of the day is a must. Finnegan does well riding in the car and enjoys running errands with his foster mom.

Finnegan is currently living with two small dogs, two cats and two human sisters, ages 6 and 10. Finnegan loves everyone and will greet you with a large hug! He is working on his manners to not jump. He has done well in his foster home by watching and learning from his foster dog siblings. Finnegan will do best in a home with a playful, young dog that can help him learn the routine and schedule of his new home. Finnegan loves children, visitors and cats! He has shown curiosity towards the family cats and may chase. A dog-savvy cat would be okay. He loves being outside, so a securely fenced yard is needed.

Finnegan is up-to-date on immunizations and heart-worm/flea and tick prevention. Finnegan’s new owner will need to have him neutered at nine months of age (June, 2026) and provide written verification from his vet to the rescue. Finnegan is heart clear, knees and hips are good, microchipped and ready for a loving home!

If you are interested in Finnegan and feel you would be a match, please, complete our online application if you haven’t already. Then, email Barbara Blanchette at: blanchettebarbara06@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Lady Godiva in Dallas, TX

Meet Lady Godiva — the sweetest 8-year-old Blenheim Cavalier (born 5/1/2017) with a gentle soul, a loving heart, and a true appreciation for life’s cozy comforts. Lady came into our care after her beloved owner passed away, and she’s now patiently waiting for another chance at a forever family to love.

Lady adores affection. She’s happiest when being petted, having her belly rubbed, or snuggling close in your arms. With her calm, low-key personality, she spends much of her day enjoying peaceful naps, but she still loves a bit of fresh air and a few short strolls. She walks beautifully on a leash and does the cutest happy dance whenever she sees her harness.

She does wonderfully with other dogs and would truly thrive in a home with another Cavalier companion to share her relaxed, easygoing lifestyle. Lady has not yet been observed around cats.

Comfort is very important to Lady — soft beds and cozy couches are her favorites. She gets so comfortable she will give out quite the snore. She is not a fan of crates as she does think of herself as more of a lady than a dog. She is house trained and does best on a consistent routine. While she doesn’t signal when she needs to go outside, regular potty breaks every few hours help set her up for success. She does just fine when left home alone for a few hours.

Lady weighs about 24 pounds and would benefit from shedding a few pounds to stay in tip-top shape. She is spayed, microchipped, current on core vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. While in foster care, she also received a dental cleaning. She has a very small growth on her right eye that does not bother her, and her veterinarian does not recommend treatment. Lady does have some hearing loss. An echocardiogram revealed a Grade B2 heart murmur, and she has been started on Vetmedin. She’s also been itchy with seasonal spring allergies and been getting some allergy meds. Thankfully, Lady takes all her daily medications like a champ and thinks most of them are treats!

Lady Godiva is a tender-hearted, loving companion who will bring warmth, comfort, and quiet joy to the right home.

If you think Lady might be the perfect addition to your family, please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Please ensure you already have an application on file. We kindly request emails only for expressions of interest, and we encourage you to review our FAQ on the website to better understand our adoption process. Applicants need to be within an easy driving distance of Dallas, TX.

Shaggy in Plymouth, MI

Meet Shaggy, a handsome 5-month old male ruby-colored Cavalier. Despite his name (his former family members were big Scooby-Doo fans), Shaggy has a very sleek and silky ruby red coat, so there’s nothing Shaggy about him! He also has a tiny blaze of white on his nose and a white chest.

Shaggy came into rescue when his family was no longer able to care for him. But they gave him a great foundation! He has very good house manners, for a puppy, and a sweet disposition. He already knows his name and can sit on command.

He is a little timid when he initially meets new people, but with calm people he warms up quickly. Shaggy is also developing a trademark hug for people who give him some extra attention. He is happy following the other Cavaliers in his foster home and is learning to fetch a ball. Shaggy is also learning to walk on a leash and enjoys the opportunity to be outdoors.

He spends the day chilling in an x-pen or on a doggie bed near his foster mom (who works from home). Shaggy needs to go outside for potty breaks every 4-5 hours. In the evening, Shaggy likes hanging out on the couch next to the people. At night, he sleeps in a crate next to the people bed and easily sleeps through the night without requiring a potty break.

Shaggy is microchipped and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He was given a clean bill of health by the vet. He will need to be neutered when he is about 9 months old. (The adopting family needs to agree in writing to have this procedure performed as a term of his adoption.)

The perfect fur-ever family for Shaggy is one that has someone home during the day to help his with his housebreaking. He is comfortable in a calm home environment, but will need regular activity like walks. Shaggy needs someone who will patient with him when he meets new people. He will also do better in a home where there is another calm, small dog that can help show him the ropes.

If you are home during the day and have a calm home ready for the attention required of a puppy, please complete our online application (if you haven’t already) and send an email to June Kirchgatter at June.cavaliers@gmail.com to let her know that you are interested in Shaggy. We will only consider applicants that are within a 4-5 hour drive from the foster family. You will also have to agree in writing to get Shaggy neutered when he becomes 9 months old.

Buddy in Louisville, KY

Meet Buddy, a handsome 29 pound, tricolor Cavalier/Beagle mix with a heart as big as his appetite!

Buddy just celebrated his 9th birthday on March 13th. This sweet boy found his way to us through no fault of his own when his family moved overseas. While he wasn’t able to make the flight due to his high blood pressure, he has taken everything in stride and is now ready to find his new forever home!

A blend of 75% Cavalier and 25% Beagle, Buddy is a perfect mix of sweetness and charm. He is a true “velcro dog” who thrives on being near his people. He gets along well with kids and dogs, but his history with cats is unknown. He loves getting pets, sometimes letting out endearing groans of contentment, and isn’t shy about giving you a polite nudge when he wants you to keep going!

True to his Beagle roots, his number one priority is food, and he can often be found trolling for his next snack. He’s also an expert at scouting out the comfiest spot in the house, where he’ll often treat you to his charming, rhythmic snores. While he’s not shown any interest in toys or playing with his foster sibling, he loves a good walk and the thrill of the squirrel chase. This easy-going guy is the ultimate companion for anyone looking for a loyal, low-maintenance friend.

Buddy is 100% housetrained and a perfect gentleman in the car. He has mastered most of the basic commands and is highly food-motivated, making any future training easier! On his walks, Buddy is a focused explorer and walks best with a harness. Like many Cavaliers, he is happiest when near his people and can be vocal when left alone, particularly if crated. He would love a home where he can sleep in the same bed as his humans.

Buddy has high blood pressure and takes two medications daily (estimated cost <$30/month). Due to a prior instance of pancreatitis, he must remain on a low-fat diet. Buddy also has a grade 3 heart murmur. He is asymptomatic and does not require medication, but he does require routine monitoring with a canine cardiologist every 6-12 months. Buddy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and had his teeth cleaned in June 2025.

Buddy is looking for a relaxed, loving home where he can live out his golden years. His ideal family will be around most of the time, provide a fenced-in yard for his squirrel patrols, and be committed to maintaining his low-fat diet and routine medical care.

If you live within a 3 hour radius of Louisville, KY, please submit an application if you haven’t already and then email your interest to Kimberly and Emily at kimberlyademan@gmail.com and emilygreenhill@outlook.com.

Finn in Pittsburg, CA

This big, handsome, Blenheim boy is Finn. Finn is a 6 year old (born 2/22/20), big and tall Cavalier at 29 pounds but he’s not fat, he’s just fluffy!

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.

If you can give this sweet boy the home of his dreams and live within a couple of hours drive from his foster home in Pittsburg, CA please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then send an email to Sarah Knudsen, our Northern California Coordinator at sayrahk@gmail.com
