Welcome!
At The Cavalier Rescue we rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who have been abandoned, lost or abused, might otherwise be neglected or euthanized, or in need of rehoming due to other circumstances. Our mission includes education about this special breed, as well as puppy mill awareness. We are a foster based rescue headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, with foster teams coast-to-coast across the USA. We have placed our Cavaliers all over the US, and Canada.
Available for Adoption
IMPORTANT - READ the ENTIRE narrative for an available dog to insure you meet ALL requirements. Emailing interest when you don't meet the requirements, is very telling, & can cause your app to be moved to the "do not adopt" file.
More coming soon!
Pending Adoption
These Angels have a family selected for them, or they are being adopted by their foster family. We are working through the steps toward their adoption.
Hospice Angels
These sweet souls came into our care and due to age or medical status have joined our Hospice program. TCR provides for their care for the rest of their lives while they are a loved family member with one of our amazing Foster families. Violet's Fund supports the Angels in our Hospice Program.

Ruby
Big congratulations to darling 6 year old Ruby (right) and her furever family on her adoption! 🎉 She didn’t have to go far as she found her perfect match family nearby in Berkeley Lake, Georgia 🏡 Her new family shared, “We could not imagine our life without our Archer - he is truly the king of our household and brings so much joy to our lives. We wanted to add a rescue companion that we can spoil just as much!” Ruby and Archer hit it right off and became fast furiends 🐾 and Ruby also has two human sisters to adore her as well 💕A perfect match and a lifetime of love ahead for this special girl who has waited her entire life for a family to call her own. Happy furever! 💜
Hollie
A BIG congratulations to little Hollie (tri) and her furever family on their adoption today 🎉 Hollie didn’t have to go far as her perfect furever family happened to be a few miles away just waiting for their pawfect match to grow their family 💕 Her new sister Luna is already welcoming her in with open paws 🐾 and showing her the ropes of her new 🏡 in Canton, Georgia. From dumped and abandoned to loved and cherished, it’s been our pleasure to be able to ensure for Hollie a happy furever 💜
Amy
Big congratulations to adorable Amy and her furever family on their adoption 🎉 Some stories come together in the most meaningful ways… and this is one of them.
In 2021, a wonderful family opened their hearts and home to one of our very special girls, Eve. They adopted her at age 10 and gave her unwavering love, commitment, and care—including the continued management of her eyes after we restored her vision from dry eye. In return, Eve gave them a lifetime of love in the years they shared together. Saying goodbye to her recently, even at the beautiful age of 15, was a heartbreaking loss of a truly special soul.
Then there is Amy… who had just been given the gift of restored vision with cataract surgery at the time Eve passed. We knew it would take a very special family to entrust with her ongoing care—to protect and preserve this precious gift that absolutely changed her life.
Like Eve, Amy had been rescued from a breeding situation.
Like Eve, Amy came to us with significant eye issues requiring lifelong monitoring and care.
Like Eve, Amy was welcomed in and loved by this same devoted foster family.
Like Eve… Amy had that special something.
In so many ways, these two girls have walked the exact same path. They both walked through the same door of their foster home, both held in the same loving arms of their foster mom and dad, both curled up on the same couch, slept in the same bed, and both learned what love and family meant there. They were cared for by the same veterinary hands, given the same gift of vision, and shown the same depth of love and compassion.
And now, Amy follows that very same path home. She is heading to her furever home in Winter Garden, Florida—the very place where Eve’s furever after was so beautifully written. She will share in that same safety and comfort in her furever home, be wrapped in the same loving arms of her furever family, curl up on the same couch, explore the same grounds, and be welcomed by Eve’s Cavalier siblings with the same open paws that they did for Eve 5 years ago.
Two different but equally special girls…
One shared kind of rescue magic ✨
Happy furever, darling Amy 💜
Mishka
BIG congratulations to precious Mishka and her furever family on their adoption today 🎉Some dogs take a little longer… not because they’re harder to place, but because their story calls for something very specific. Mishka was one of those dogs. We waited, and waited, for the perfect match—the one that truly felt like hers. And when it came along, we knew it had been worth every second of the wait.Mishka’s new home is on the beach in St. Petersburg, Florida… and it couldn’t be more perfect. While in foster care, we saw a whole new side of her the first time her paws touched the sand 🐾 An otherwise reserved Mishka lit up—joyful, animated, completely in her element. It was as if she was telling us exactly where she belonged. And now, she gets to live that life every single day… Mishka, our little beach princess, just as she was always meant to be 🏝️Along with her devoted parents, she also has two Cavalier siblings by her side to show her the ropes and help guide and comfort her as she settles into this next chapter—which is such a gift for a girl like Mishka, who can struggle with change.Mishka, your perfect ending was written in the sand all along and we’re so grateful we got to help you find your way there. Happy furever! 💜
