Success Stories

We have found forever homes for the many Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that have come into our care since the idea for Cavalier Rescue was born in 1999. Sometimes this takes longer than we expect because we are dedicated to finding the right forever home for each cavalier based on each Cavaliers individual needs.

Treat your eyes to the following photos of these endearing and adorable angels. These furry heroes have overcome adversity and are now enjoying their best lives in their forever homes with families that love and care for them.

Through the success of these Cavaliers we celebrate the incredible resilience and unwavering spirit of these furry survivors, showcasing the transformative power of compassion and love. Prepare to be moved, inspired and reminded that every adoption of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a triumph, every rescued soul a beacon of hope.

Sir Walter is a true 'King of the Castle'! He came into our care due to a change in family circumstances, and we're so glad he did. This loving companion required several medical procedures, including a dental with a whopping 29 teeth extracted, desexing, and vaccinations. But that didn't stop him from being the most devoted shadow, following his humans everywhere.
