Welcome!
The Cavalier Rescue is a volunteer-driven, foster home–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Cavalier King Charles Spaniels throughout the United States. We place Cavaliers in carefully selected forever homes across the United States and Canada, while providing breed-specific education, promoting responsible ownership, and raising awareness about puppy mills and the health and welfare issues affecting the breed.
We have a special interest in Cavaliers with significant medical needs, ensuring they receive the specialized veterinary care, rehabilitation, and time they need to heal. For elderly, terminally ill, and chronically ill Cavaliers who may not be candidates for traditional adoption, our hospice and forever-foster programs provide comfort, dignity, and love for however much time they have.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that every Cavalier deserves safety, dignity, love, and a second chance at the life they were always meant to have.

Marla
BIG congratulations to precious Marla (tri) and her furever family on their adoption! 🎉
When we first met Marla, she was just a puppy sitting at a puppy mill auction in Missouri, her eyes full of green discharge and a large number hanging on a chain around her tiny neck - destined to be sold as breeding stock and spend her life producing puppies for profit.
But we had other plans for her! 💜 We raised our hand for Marla and intercepted the miserable future that had been chosen for her. Instead of becoming a breeding dog, Marla became a rescued dog 🐾
From the auction, she went into the loving arms of her foster family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she learned what it meant to be safe, cherished, and loved simply because she was Marla. No expectations. No puppies to produce. Just a little girl getting to be a little princess 👑
And now, the next chapter of her story has begun, as sweet Marla has found her perfect furever family in Topeka, Kansas! 🏡 A beautiful ending to her rescue story and the beginning of a very happy furever for Miss Marla! 💕
Cowboy
When baby Cowboy needed us, one of our incredible volunteers stepped up without hesitation - flying all the way from Tennessee to Utah to secure this precious little boy with life-threatening congenital abnormalities and bring him safely back to Alabama.
Once here, Cowboy underwent two lifesaving surgeries at Auburn University, including a heart surgery that gave him the chance at the long, healthy life every puppy deserves.
And when Cowboy needed a place to recover, she couldn’t wait for the opportunity to welcome back the little boy she had fallen in love with on that flight… and somewhere along the way, “foster” became family 💕 So we are absolutely thrilled to announce that Cowboy is officially HOME! 🏡
This little buckaroo has quite literally been given a new heart and a new life - and now he has a family to call his own. With his heart repaired and a wonderful prognosis ahead of him, Cowboy is expected to live a long, healthy life filled with all the adventures, mischief, snuggles, and love a puppy could possibly ask for. He now calls Columbia, Tennessee home, where he is already busy living his very best puppy life 🐾
From Utah, to Alabama, through two lifesaving surgeries, and finally home to Tennessee… what an extraordinary journey for one very special little boy. Happy furever, Cowboy! You fought hard for this beautiful life - now go live every single bit of it 💜

Elle
BIG congratulations to darling Elle (left) and her furever family on their adoption! 🎉 Elle came into rescue very pregnant and welcomed her babies just days later. She was the sweetest, most devoted mama, caring for her pups until they were ready to head off to a family of their own. Then it was finally Elle’s turn. After having her own needs cared for, this special girl now has the perfect ending to her story - a family of her very own! 💕 Happy furever, sweet girl! 💜
Augustus
Congratulations to darling Augustus and his forever family on their adoption! 🎉 Augustus’ journey 🐾 has taken him from stray, to animal control, to rescue… and now, his perfect furever home 🏡 After enjoying his time on St. Simons Island, Georgia, for foster care, we are happy to share that he is headed south to begin his next chapter in Pensacola, Florida 🏝️
His new family recently said goodbye to their beloved Cavalier and had a hole in their hearts only another Cavalier could fill. Sweet, affectionate, perfect Augustus is ready to bring all the Cavalier love, snuggles, and joy that they have been missing.
From one beach to another, this lover boy has finally reached his forever shore 🌊 Happy furever, Augustus! We’re wishing you a lifetime of sandy paws 🐾 , sunny days ☀️ , and all the love you deserve 💕
