The Cavalier Rescue

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.

Just Adopted

Tia

Born in one of the worst known puppy mills - one that has repeatedly landed on the “Horrible Hundred” list - and spending the first 5 months of her life there, Tia was destined for a life of confinement, neglect, reproductive abuse, and suffering. But everything changed the day we rescued her off the auction block, giving her the second chance at the life she deserved.
Her foster family has lovingly taught her what love, trust, family, freedom, and belonging is - creating a foundation she’ll carry with her into her furever home and for the rest of her life.
Today, Tia is headed home to Greenville, South Carolina, where her new Cavalier brother will continue showing her the ropes of how to live her best doggie life, and where her new mom - a veterinarian - will ensure her every need is met with love and care 💕
Congratulations to sweet Tia and her family on their adoption, and happy furever, precious girl! 💜

Daisy and Minnie

Congratulations to precious mother-daughter duo, Daisy and Minnie, and their furever family on their adoption today! 🎉
These sweet, silly, snuggly, and spirited girls have spent their entire lives together, and we’re so happy they’ll continue that journey side by side in their forever home 💕
Daisy and Minnie are headed home to Panama City Beach, Florida 🏝️ where a beautiful new chapter awaits - filled with beach days, golf cart rides, and all the love and attention they could ever dream of. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect happily ever after for these two special girls. Happy furever, Daisy and Minnie! 💜

Pascal & Peter

Big congratulations to Peter & Pascal and their furever family on their adoption! 🎉Peter and Pascal’s story began right here in rescue when their mom, Elle, arrived in our care heavily pregnant and welcomed her puppies just a few days later.Unlike the majority of Cavaliers who come through our program, these sweet boys have known nothing but love, safety, and care from the moment they took their very first breaths. They were lovingly raised by their devoted mom, Elle 🐾, and nurtured every step of the way by their wonderful foster mom 💕As they grew, it became clear that these brothers shared a very special bond. They are the perfect balance of yin and yang - Peter, the adventurous and energetic one, and Pascal, the laid-back and easygoing counterpart. Now, they begin their next chapter together in Jacksonville, Florida 🏝️ where they will continue life’s adventures with their dads and their two teenage human brothers. We couldn’t be happier that these boys get to remain side by side as they grow, learn, and thrive in their furever home. Happy furever, Peter & Pascal! 💜 

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 💕
