Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Cooper in Little Rock, AR

Meet the sweetest little gentleman you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing — a 7-year-old Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a heart as beautiful as his soft chestnut-and-white coat.

This charming boy is the definition of calm and gentle. He has a laid-back temperament that makes him the perfect companion for a quieter home. Whether you’re reading a book, watching TV, or working from home, he’s happiest curled up beside you — or better yet, in your lap. Being a devoted lapdog is truly his life’s calling, and he takes the job very seriously.

He is completely housetrained and kennel trained, making him an easy addition to his forever family. He understands routines and settles in beautifully. He’s wonderful with other dogs and would do well with a canine companion, though he’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love as your one and only pup. He is not a fan of cats, however, and would do best in a cat-free home.

Cooper absolutely loves food. Mealtime is his favorite event of the day and he’s very food motivated, which makes him responsive and eager to please. He also has a mischievous streak when it comes to squirrels — spotting one will light up his world! Because of his enthusiastic squirrel patrol duties, a securely fenced yard is a must to keep him safe.

This sweet boy has hip dysplasia and previously had luxating patellas repaired in both knees. Despite this, he gets around just fine and handles his daily activities like a champ. He may not be your marathon training partner, but he’ll happily join you for leisurely strolls and then settle in for snuggles afterward. Mostly, he just wants to be near his people.

What truly sets him apart is his gentle, loving nature. He bonds deeply and looks at you with soulful eyes that say, “Thank you for loving me.” He’s the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room, content just knowing he belongs.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, low-key companion who will fill your home with warmth and sweetness, this precious Cavalier may be your perfect match. He’s ready to spend his life loving — and being loved — in a forever home.

Ruby and Lucy in Greensboro, NC

Ruby and Lucy are a bonded pair of Cavalier girls who are ready to fill their new forever home with love. They came into rescue because their former owner was about to lose her home and knew she needed to surrender them to rescue so they could receive the care and attention they needed.

Both girls are estimated to be around 7 years old. Lucy is the Blenheim and Ruby is the Ruby with a little white on her face and chest.

When they arrived, it was clear they had suffered from some neglect and they both were very anxious. Having each other and quickly feeling the stability from their foster family and foster fur siblings, helped Lucy and Ruby overcome their fears and separation anxiety. They are the most loving girls and will go to great lengths to be right by their foster family. In typical Cavalier fashion, they are clingers and follow their foster mom everywhere!

Ruby is a 20 lb girl who is a happy, loving, laidback lady who loves everyone, two legged and four legged. She loves to run around the fenced 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 attention by tapping you with her nose. She also loves looking out the front window with her foster siblings to make sure her home does not get invaded by outside dogs or squirrels! Since arriving in rescue, Ruby was spayed, microchipped and had a dental where she lost 19 teeth. She is eating well and feels like a new woman!

Lucy is 14 lbs and is and absolute love bug. She would happily sit by your side all day if she could. She will follow you everywhere you go and will try to figure out where you are going to sit next. Before you turn around, there she is waiting for you to sit down. Eventually you will see her curled up by Ruby for a nice nap. Lucy was also recently 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 can food and also feels like a new woman with those rotten teeth out of her mouth. Lucy is a very fast eater and will attempt to consume the other dog’s food if she can. Her foster Mom separates her in another room to help with this.

Vetting revealed that both Ruby and Lucy are still congenitally sound with good eyes, knees, hips and heart. Additionally, all of their lab work (fecal test, heartworm test, tick borne illness test, and pre surgery bloodwork) were all normal and negative. They were treated ear infections in both ears, so their new owners will need to stay on top of keeping their ears clean to prevent future infections. They are both on monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication.

Ruby and Lucy are potty trained and won’t have accidents as long as they are taken outside regularly. They have mastered the doggie door, but still wish to go out with their foster Mom and siblings to potty and chase squirrels. They love running and playing in the fenced yard, so a fenced yard is a requirement for their new home.

The girls have never been apart and definitely gravitate towards each other. They get along well with all other dogs, but certainly seek out each other. For this reason, they cannot be separated and need to be adopted together. They would be fine going to a home with another like sized canine companion. They haven’t been around cats or young children.

They also need a home where someone is home most of the day to help them continue to overcome their separation anxiety.

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 Hansing of your interest by emailing her at nccavalierrescuemom@gmail.com

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.

Winston in Noblesville, IN

Introducing Winston! Winston’s world was rocked when his family of 13 years dropped him off at the shelter after they got a new puppy. Understandably, he was confused being in this environment but Cavalier Rescue USA quickly sprung him from the shelter.

It was obvious Winston has seen some neglect. He had a rough few days with a visit to the Vet and getting a long overdue grooming. Even with everything he has been through, Winston’s sweet Cavalier personality is shining through and he’s remembering what it feels like to be loved again.

Winston was born June 15, 2012. At 28 lbs he needs to lose weight so he is currently on a diet. The only time he barks is in the kitchen as if he’s telling his foster mom she surely forgot half his dinner!

It’s a joy to see him digging through the toy box where he searches for a soft toy. After a quick game of fetch, Winston settles in for a long afternoon nap. He is able to navigate a few stairs to go outside but requires a little help up on furniture. Winston is a good boy and has not had any accidents!

Winston does enjoy being around the Cavaliers in his foster home. Another calm dog in his new home would be nice but he can also be an only pup. He’ll take a slow stroll around the fenced back yard but a fence isn’t necessary as long as someone is with him. He prefers being indoors.

Winston is crate trained but does not need to be crated when his foster parents are gone. He will sleep by the door waiting for his people to come home. He sleeps all night either in his open crate or in one of the dog beds. He rides well in the car laying quietly in a booster seat often falling asleep. He even enjoys a short walk in the neighborhood.

Medically, the Vet noted Winston’s condition is as expected for his age. He is deaf, has suspected nuclear sclerosis (cloudy eyes) in both eyes but this does not affect his vision, has a grade 3 murmur that does not require meds at this time. A soft mass was felt on his belly that is suspected fatty tissue. Teeth are grade 4/4 for severe dental disease. A dental was not recommended due to the risk at his age. His dental condition does not affect eating at all. He loves food!

Winston is in search of a family to cherish him in his twilight years. In turn, this sweet senior will make a devoted companion who will lay by your side and quietly keep you company throughout the day. If you feel you can open your heart and home to Winston please complete the online application if you don’t already have one on file and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know of your interest.

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?

If you are interested in adopting Chester, please fill out our online application if you haven’t already. Also send an email expressing your interest to Janis Stauffer at

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
