Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Rosie in Las Vegas, NV

Rosie is a female Ruby, born on November 15, 2015. She is in very good health. Cavalier Rescue USA has completed all her medical tests, shots, teeth and physical exam. She is ready to go to her fur-ever home.

Rosie had a very tragic journey to Rescue. She came into Rescue with two pack mates. Her owner was an older woman who died on a Thursday. Rosie and her pack mates stayed beside their owner until they were found on the following Monday. Rosie and her pack mates were traumatized and dehydrated. It has taken some very special foster love to get her to where she is today.

Rosie is hoping to find a loving family to give her the stability that she needs. She is super sweet and loves to be around her person or another pup. She will bark if she cannot find you. She does not like to be alone. She will bark to let you know she needs to go out and she barks when she knows she is going for a walk. She gets very excited because she loves her walks. She adores car rides and is not shy about meeting new people. She is a people pleaser.

She will run if there is an open door. Rosie likes to have adventures! Her new family must be careful to make sure her environment is secure at all times. Rosie displays puppy like behavior at times. She enjoys toys or just playing around with her person. At other times, Rosie is very content to be a lap dog. She likes to be near her person or another pup but does not seek out other pack mates. Rosie will do well in a home where someone is with her most of the time. She gets along with other animals but prefers people.

Kali in Sewickley, PA

Kali is a beautiful tricolor Cavalier girl who is approximately 6 years old. She came into rescue as a surrendered breeding dog from Western PA. She has responded well to love, patience and kindness. Kali is a gentle lady who likes a quiet and tidy environment. She likes to gather objects she finds lying around. She enjoys being petted on her back and neck. Kali loves being with her people and with her foster dog sister.

While in rescue Kali was spayed and had a dental. She came to us with bad dental disease and lost 32 teeth. She is doing well eating a soft food diet. She has a mild luxating patella that does not require any medical treatment at this time, but it’s important that she be kept close to her current ideal weight (just under 20 lbs). She will need to have her anal glands expressed regularly.

Kali likes to walk on a leash. She does not cue so she will need a regular potty schedule. Kali likes to be very near people. She enjoys being on the sofa with her family and a good Netflix binge. She likes to sleep close to the people in the household.

Kali does not like being left alone. Her Cavalier foster sister is a great comfort to her when her foster family goes out. She is a velcro dog and likes to keep you in line of sight. She is afraid of the crate and will not be a candidate for crate use.

Kali would do best in an adult home where her person is home most of the time. She will need to be placed in a home with a gentle dog who will continue to teach her how to be a dog and will snuggle with her. She is neutral with cats.

If you think your family is a good fit for Kali, and you live within driving distance of Sewickley, PA, please fill out the online application for Kali and then email Melissa MacMullin at

Jingles in Sunbury, OH

Jingles is a 10-year-old tricolor gentleman who came into rescue when his owner moved into an assisted living facility.

Jingles is a typical love-sponge Cavalier who is low maintenance. He is laid-back and happy being with you wherever you go. He loves to snuggle on the couch with his human. Jingles is excited when new people visit. He walks perfectly on a leash and typically stays very near his human. As long as the temperature is not too cold, he loves going on walks.

He is very food motivated, which may explain his extra weight. His new owners will need to monitor his food intake. Jingles is housebroken but will need to learn your routine in his new home. He had a perfect report at his last veterinary visit and only needs a dental which will be performed in the next few weeks. He is up to date on vaccines, and on monthly flea, tick and heartworm preventive.

Jingles would prefer a home where he is allowed to sleep in bed next to you at night. He does not object too much to being kenneled for short periods of time. He is a bit nervous in the car but settles down nicely. Jingles gets along beautifully with his foster brother and would love to have a canine companion in his new home. He will be happiest in a family where someone is home most of the time.

Applications within 2-3 hours will be considered. Please read our process and FAQ’s.

Nick in Oxnard, CA

Meet Nick! True Love comes with a wagging tail. Nick is a gentle and sweet boy who came to rescue from a commercial breeder release. He is thriving in a home environment. Nick is ready to find a fur-ever family to call his own that will continue his socialization and good dog behavior with positive reinforcement.

Nick is a healthy youngster. We don’t know his birthdate, but vet says he is between 2-3 years old. He is neutered, up-to-date on core vaccinations, current with flea preventative and microchipped. No murmur was detected on auscultation at his exam and his knees and hips are good. He received treatment for a mild ear infection and medication for parasites while in foster care.

Nick is doing very well with his house training. He goes to the door to let you know that he would like to go out. He is crate trained and will sometimes go in for a nap but usually sleeps quietly through the night with his foster sister in one of the dog beds. Nick draws a lot of confidence and security from his canine foster sisters. He enjoys going for several walks every day, exploring the neighborhood and socializing with other small dogs. He is shy and will back away when someone approaches wanting to pet him but is making improvements as he becomes more comfortable with people.

Nick is sensitive to loud sounds. They trigger his anxiety and fearfulness. He has a high prey drive. A home without small children would be best. Their energy would be overwhelming for him as he adjusts one last time. He can be shy and skittish with loud noises, raised voices and sudden movements. A home that offers a balance of structure, engagement and cuddle time will help Nick feel safe and confident.

Nick’s ideal home will have one or more playful friendly canine companions. A home with other dogs will be a major plus for his confidence. He responds with affection to a soft happy tone of voice and praise. He is very good and quiet in the house and loves mealtimes!

Nick is ready to find his ideal human; someone who will be kind and patient with him. This will help build his confidence so he can blossom into the wonderful companion he was born to be. Families within a comfortable driving distance of Oxnard are preferred to facilitate introductory visits. If you have a heart for sensitive souls and a quiet home with a dog friend for Nick, please submit an application if you haven’t done so already. Then email Donna at d_beirne@yahoo.com to let her know of your interest in Nick.

Benjamin (Benny) in Chicago, IL

Meet Benjamin (Benny), a two-year-old Blenheim Cavalier. Benny came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a commercial breeder. Benny is a loving, smart, and playful boy who adores other dogs as well as children.

Benny has come a long way since joining his foster family. He has learned how to walk on leash, eat food out of a bowl and walk up and down stairs. He pays close attention to his humans and tilts his head back and forth when they are speaking to him.

Benny loves to meet other dogs while on walks but needs to learn more social etiquette. His potty training is a work in progress. He is great at going potty in the backyard and on walks but does still have accidents in the house. A bellyband can be used while he is getting better at house training. A consistent routine is crucial for his continued house training. He does not like his crate. He enjoys free roaming around the house and knows not to get into trouble.

Benny loves to explore things and look out the window watching birds, people and other dogs. He would do well in a home with a more mature dog as he doesn’t care for a puppy’s energy. He would also thrive being the only dog in the house.

At night, he likes to move around from chair to dog bed, to snuggling with humans if he can get to them. He has the cutest little snore that comes out when he has a full day of playing and is in a very deep sleep.

Benny is a small guy at 16 pounds. Since coming to rescue Benny has been neutered, had a dental cleaning, brought up to date on his vaccines, preventatives and been treated for an ear infection. As with most Cavaliers, it is recommended that he get regular dental cleanings. He is a healthy boy and ready to meet his forever family.

If you feel you can provide Benjamin’s forever home, please complete our online application and send an email to Meg Hutson Eisenmenger at Cavalierrescuemeg@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Parker in Banning, CA

Meet Parker! This delightful one-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel–Havanese mix has a heart as big as his irresistible smile and soulful brown eyes.

Parker is the perfect blend of affectionate lap dog and playful companion, equally happy cuddling beside you or joining in on the day’s activities.

Parker came into rescue as a breeder release, and was initially skittish and unsure how to accept affection.

Thanks to the patience and love of his foster home, he has made wonderful progress and is truly beginning to understand the joys of being an indoor, cherished family member. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding.

Since Parker missed out on early socialization, he thrives on canine companionship and takes great comfort in the presence of other dogs. He will do best in a home with a like-minded canine buddy who can be his best friend and help him build confidence.

In rescue, Parker was neutered, brought up to date on vaccines and microchipped.

True to his Cavalier roots, Parker is gentle, loving, and eager to please.

From his Havanese side, he brings a cheerful spirit and a slightly goofy, fun-loving personality that’s impossible to resist. He enjoys playtime with toys, zooming in the yard with other dogs, and being part of everyday household life, but he also knows how to settle nicely and relax when it’s time to unwind.

Still young, Parker will benefit from continued positive-reinforcement training. He has learned to use a doggy door and is doing well with house training, though an occasional accident may happen as he adjusts to a new environment.

His beautiful coat will require a family committed to regular grooming to keep him comfortable and mat-free.

If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, and joyful companion, Parker may be the perfect match. He’s ready to find his forever home …could that be with you?

Parker needs a home with at least one friendly, confident dog for companionship.

He’ll also need a patient family who will continue positive-reinforcement training.

Parker is sure to thrive in a calm, loving environment. He just can’t wait to be included as an indoor, cherished member of his forever family.

If you think Parker would be a welcome addition to your household, please complete our online application if you haven’t done so already. Then email Nanci at nancigordon@gmail.com to let her know of your interest in Parker.
