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.
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.

Whitney
Like so many of our dogs, Whitney’s story began with questions. She was found stray in rural Kentucky, in poor condition, and waited in a shelter unclaimed. We don’t know what her life looked like before that. Had she ever had a family? Did she ever know love? How did she end up on the streets? But from the moment she arrived in rescue, her story began to change…
In her foster home in Jackson, Mississippi, she was given patience, safety, and gentle care. And slowly…quietly…. Whitney began to bloom - a softer expression, a pep in her step, and an ease and trust that hadn’t been there before.
While some dogs search for their forever home, Whitney was already in hers 🏡 And now, she will continue to grow and thrive in the very place where her healing began. BIG congratulations to Whitney and her foster-turned-furever family on their adoption 💜
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 💜
Theo
Sometimes the family who saves a life becomes the family meant to keep it…
Baby Theo came into rescue six months ago as a critically ill 3 month old puppy suffering from severe pneumonia and giardia after being born in a puppy mill. After hospitalization, he was transferred into our care, and the road ahead was uncertain. But his foster family stepped up and in and quite literally saved his life. They provided around the clock care, constant monitoring, medications, breathing treatments, and frequent trips to the vet as baby Theo fought to recover. Their dedication allowed him to heal in the comfort of home—surrounded by love and his Cavalier foster siblings—instead of a hospital. Now fully recovered, Theo does have some permanent lung damage from how severe his illness was, but no one understands his needs better than the family who nursed him back to health. And now, after six months of loving him through his hardest days…Theo is officially adopted by his foster family 🙌🏼 After saving his life, it’s only fitting that they now get to share the rest of it 🥹 BIG congratulations to Theo and the family who loved him through his hardest days and will now enjoy all of his happiest ones 💜

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! 💜
