Welcome to Cavalier Rescue USA

Leo in Des Moines, IA

This very handsome boy had a hard first year of life living in a commercial breeding facility. He was released to rescue when it was found he wasn’t useful as a stud dog at 15 months.

Leo is now 16 months old and weighs in at 15 pounds. He’s gotten a clean bill of health, had his neuter and is well on his way to acclimating to inside family life. He’s an active boy who loves to run and play, and then cuddle with his peeps. He drags the toys out every morning, plays tug of war with his foster siblings, and seeks out cuddling with his people when done playing. He loves nothing better than lying on his back on your lap, snoring (and we mean snoring).

He’s still working on his house manners, but is getting better every day. Consistency and a dog role model will be helpful. He loves his walks and does well on a leash.

Leo requires a fenced yard and hopefully a calm canine influence in the house. He loves other dogs his size and kids. He gets very excited in new situations and with new people. It takes this young one a bit of time to settle down, but he is doing better as he gets older.

Diesel in Indianapolis, IN

Diesel is a 5-6 year old Blenheim Cavalier who is looking for his forever home. Diesel came into rescue from a breeding situation. When he first came into rescue he was very nervous and unsure of how to be a dog, he did not know how to eat out of a dog bowl or drink water, what to do outside in the yard, use steps or car rides. Since coming into rescue and having his foster siblings teach him the ropes, he has absolutely blossomed. While in rescue he was neutered, had a dental cleaning was brought up to date on his vaccines and microchipped.

Diesel loves to play outside in the yard and chase his fellow Cavalier pack. He is completely trained to go potty outside and quickly learned how to use the dog doors, but he likes to always be able to see his person.

He is the cutest little goofball who loves to sleep on the couch and cuddle with his foster mom and siblings. He is very loyal to his person and foster siblings. He will seek out his person often for pets and loves a treat after potty breaks. He would do best in a home with another dog companion. Diesel loves to meet new people and is very friendly.

Diesel does well with a harness for walks but will not walk on a leash if attached at the collar. He does well in the crate but prefers to be with his uncrated siblings. He loves ice cubes and runs as soon as he hears the freezer door open. He does very well in the car and loves to look out the window from his car seat.

Belle & Perry Mason in Federal Way, WA

Meet Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason: a Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home.

Belle and Perry are a sweet, happy, affectionate bonded pair who are ready to find their forever family. Belle is a beautiful 5-year-old tri-color girl, and Perry is a handsome 3-year-old ruby boy with long, luscious locks. Fun fact: Perry is actually Belle’s uncle, even though he is younger than she is!

Belle and Perry came into rescue through no fault of their own due to a change in their family’s circumstances. They have been loved and well cared for, and it shows. Both dogs are healthy, friendly, social, and wonderfully easy to love. They are good with other dogs, good with cats, and love kids.

These two are lower-energy companions who are happiest simply being wherever their people are. Perry does enjoy a good round of zoomies when the mood strikes, but overall, they are content to cuddle, relax, supervise your day, and keep you company. They would love a home where someone is around a lot, works from home, or enjoys taking their dogs along on outings.

Belle and Perry would especially enjoy a home where they are welcomed on the furniture for prime snuggling opportunities and have a yard where they can safely explore. They are crate trained and housetrained. They may give a few light barking protests when first left alone, but they settle within about five minutes.

Both pups are healthy and had recent dental cleanings. Belle did have several of her front teeth removed, but she does not seem to notice or let it slow her down one bit. Their eyes have some tearing that requires daily cleaning but they don’t mind. Belle weighs 22 pounds, and Perry weighs 24 pounds.

Belle and Perry are also used to regular grooming. Perry’s gorgeous long coat does require daily brushing to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Their favorite things include cuddling, being near their people, exploring the yard, watching animals on TV, and occasionally barking at those very suspicious TV creatures. They are sweet, loving dogs who will bring warmth, laughter, and companionship to the right home.

Belle of the Ball and Perry Mason are bonded and are looking for a home together. If you are looking for two loyal, affectionate companions who already know how to be wonderful family dogs, Belle and Perry may be the perfect pair. Their ideal home has a fenced yard for them to explore and humans that can spend a lot of time with them. They’re compatible with cats, dogs and children over 5.

If you’d like to be considered for their new home, please complete the online application (if you haven’t previously) and email Melissa at happycavaliers04@gmail.com so she knows to consider your application.

Maisie in Baltimore, MD

Maisie is estimated to be about 7 years old and weighs in at around 16 lbs. She came to Cavalier Rescue USA from a breeding situation. At first arrival, she was extremely shy and unsure of herself. She did not know how to use stairs or eat without hiding food for later. Maisie has made great strides over the past month since she has been in foster care. She is a loving and resilient dog who is ready to find a forever home. After being rescued, she has shown just how affectionate, loyal, and eager she is to trust people.

Maisie is potty trained and crate trained but has had a few accidents in the house when allowed to roam free. Her tell is to come out and look for you and then quickly run back to her favorite spot. If you catch her in time, she prefers to go outside; she just doesn’t have the confidence yet to tell you directly.

Maisie is very quiet at first. She is also extremely tolerant. She has very low whines that let you know she is nearby and wants attention. With time, she will let you know she has a voice. When excited and happy (especially when you come home from work), she lets out an awkward and high-pitched scream. Her tail wags, and she looks at you with her beautiful, deep brown eyes. Maisie is starting to bark now that she has had 9 teeth removed and a dental cleaning and spay. She barks at horses, dogs, and birds on the television. She will also alert you if something unusual is happening outside. She doesn’t like loud noises and would be best suited in a house without young children or a lot of commotion.

Maisie is in foster care with 4 other dogs ranging in size from 5 lbs to 65lbs. She enjoys being part of the pack and has quickly learned the house rules, but she doesn’t like to wrestle or play. Maisie prefers spending time with people, watching television, rolling around in the garden, and relaxing in a cozy spot to nap (the center of the sofa). Maisie tolerates the active puppy, but she has a gentle personality and is happiest when left to wander by herself around the house or yard. When sitting next to her, she will take full advantage and invade all of your privacy. She will nuzzle up as close as she can lay her extra-soft head on you and give you gentle licks.

Maisie is house-trained/crate-trained, up to date on vaccinations, and has been spayed. She was diagnosed with Mitral valve disease and has a stage 4 heart murmur. She has been on medication which costs about $50 a month. She will also need regular cardiac care along with her regular vet care. Maisie has also had extensive dental work and would benefit from regular teeth brushing. She is very tolerant, and this should not be difficult to accomplish. More information can be provided if requested.

Like many rescue dogs, Maisie has overcome challenges but continues to blossom every day with patience, kindness, and routine. She is looking for a home where she can continue to thrive and share unconditional love.

If you’re looking for a faithful companion who will reward your kindness with endless affection, Maisie could be the perfect addition to your family.

If you are a great match for Maisie, please read through the adoption process protocol and complete an online application if you haven’t already. Kindly also indicate your interest in Maisie by emailing the coordinator for Maryland at cavalierrescueusamdwv@gmail.com.

Peach in Buffalo, NY

Peach is a loving and lovable three-year-old looking for her forever family.

Peach was in a puppy mill until adopted at the end of February of 2026, however her adoptive family quickly realized they did not have the time to care for her properly. They truly wanted the best for this sweet little girl.

Peach has symptomatic SM (Syringomyelia) requiring medication. Peach is also recovering from a neck abscess caused by her constant scratching. She also had diarrhea, likely due to either stress or medication.

At the suggestion of a canine neurologist, Peach has switched medications. Additionally, her food was switched to one a for sensitive stomach. She is responding well to both changes. It is likely that she may need less medication over time.

Peach is fascinated by birds, rabbits and squirrels. She comes when called. She learned very quickly where to go in and out of the backyard through the back door.

Logan in Greenwood, IN

Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m 3 years old. Everyone who meets me says I’m a very special boy. I have the biggest brown eyes you’ll ever see, and my foster mom calls me her cutie pie and goofball. I love to run around with a ball… until I get distracted by my own tail, which makes everyone laugh. I also adore standing between your legs so you can give me fullbody pets and scratches. I recently learned about the wonderful world of belly rubs!

Even though I’ve been “growing out” my hair for six months, it’s still short — my foster mom says she has officially given up on seeing it get longer.

I love playing ball with the neighborhood kids and do wonderfully with children of all ages. I have a foster dog brother and sister, and we have the best time together. Honestly, I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I tolerate the cat… or maybe she tolerates me. Sometimes I get a little too playful, and she decides she’s had enough. But I certainly don’t mind sharing my space with her. I am still working on leash walking. There is just so much to smell and do on a walk.

This past year was tough for me. In December, I was diagnosed with diabetes, and my blood sugar was not well regulated for a while. But with care and patience, I’m doing so much better now! I get insulin shots twice a day. I don’t love them, but I’ve learned to sit still like a brave boy. I must be careful after a lot of exercise, as sometimes my blood sugar drops, and then I require a delicious snack.

I can get anxious in new situations and I’m not a big fan of car rides — I always worry we’re going to the vet. I am potty trained, but when my diabetes isn’t well regulated, I may have accidents. I don’t mean to, and I try my best. I’m not a fan of belly bands, so I just need more frequent potty breaks during those times.

I would thrive in a home with an attentive owner or another playful dog. I need someone committed to managing my diabetes longterm. I never jump on furniture and prefer to curl up in my bed while my family watches TV. I’m usually quiet unless another dog barks — but I do snore loudly!

If you think you could be my forever family, please fill out an online application if you haven’t already and then email Sherry Morgan at morgans817@sbcglobal.net to let her know you’re interested. We are limiting his adoption to people who live within a 2 hour drive of Greenwood, IN and who have a fenced yard.
