A very special PUP-DATE on Cash! 🐾💛
(Originally posted on our page July 7)

One of the most heartbreaking parts of rescue is receiving owner surrender forms for senior Cavaliers. Our hearts sink knowing what may lie ahead: declining health, heart disease, severe dental disease, and other challenges, just when they need love and stability the most.

Earlier this year, a wonderful woman contacted us about a senior Cavalier who had been passed around her mother’s retirement community after his owner entered hospice and passed away with no family to take him. After researching his needs, she recognized his ongoing care was more than she could take on and found our rescue.

Because she cared enough to find him help, Cash was adopted by a wonderful woman who adores him. He recently celebrated his 11th birthday with his very own party. YES, HE HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY! 🎂🎉

Rescue doesn’t always bring happy endings. But sweet Cash, for however much time he has left, is receiving more love than many dogs experience in a lifetime. He is safe, adored, and celebrated, exactly as he deserves.

His new mom, Briana, had selflessly responded to one of our Instagram posts, volunteering to drive over an hour early one morning to transport a rescue dog. When we learned she was willing to welcome Cash into her home, knowing he needed FOUR cardiac medications and had an uncertain amount of time left, we knew it was meant to be. A heart of gold. 💛

Enjoy these pictures and videos from his 11th golden birthday party, his recent Vegas casino trip 😂, and his daily adventures watching golfers from his backyard. Obviously, he needed a hat for this spectator sport! 👒⛳️🐶

✅ Adopted! Congratulations Sohaan and family! 🐶

Meet Sohaan 💙
Pronounced SO-HON

🐾 Born 5/20/20 - 6 yrs
🐾 Neutered
🐾 Fully vaccinated
🐾 Microchipped with lifetime registration
🐾 Dental completed with 8 extractions

Sohaan’s name means “charming” or “good looking,” and that perfectly describes this incredibly sweet boy. 💙

Sohaan came to us as an owner surrender due to his owner’s significant health issues and severe allergies. We worked closely with her for several months, and this was an extremely difficult decision. The moment you meet Sohaan, you will know that he has never experienced a day without love.

He is honestly about as close to the perfect dog as it gets. Sohaan is incredibly smart, leash trained, fully potty trained, and will even tap the door when he needs to go outside. He does not need to be kenneled, and his house manners are impeccable. We’re fairly certain he would even do his own laundry and put it away if we asked. 😂

Sohaan loves walks, car rides, squeaky toys, and sleeping curled up in a tiny ball in bed. He will also keep you entertained by barking at animals on the television.

He would be happiest as an only dog but can also live well with other adult dogs. Puppies are not really his thing, and he prefers to run away from their energy.

Sohaan has experienced some skin issues, but we seem to have him on the mend. This charming boy is ready to bring so much love, laughter, and companionship to his forever family. 🐾💙

If you are interested in adopting Sohaan, please do not DM or comment on this post. Email [email protected] and include his name. A current adoption application and paid application fee are required.

Meet Rusty 🤎🐶

🐾 Cavapoo
🐾 Born 5/24/26 - 16 weeks old
🐾 Neutered
🐾 Microchipped - lifetime registration
🐾 Current on all age appropriate vaccinations (adopter will need to complete his puppy vaccine series)

Rusty came to us as a breeder release and is an incredibly sweet little guy. He loves playing with other dogs, does well with cats, and is wonderful with children.

Because Rusty has never lived in a home before, he is still learning the routines and expectations of home life 🏡 He can be nervous in new situations and will do best in an active home with other animals. He would benefit from puppy obedience training and a family willing to provide the patience, consistency, and positive guidance he needs to continue learning and growing.

Rusty is not yet potty trained, but he does well sleeping in his kennel at night 🐾

If you are interested in adopting Rusty, please do not send us a DM or comment directly on this post. The best way to contact us is by emailing [email protected] 📧

We’re back! 🐾 Not that we ever really left.

Arizona summers tend to move a little more slowly. People leave town, schedules change, and fewer families are ready to adopt.

We have lots of new followers, so we wanted to share a quick refresher before things pick up again. We will be posting several available dogs, including a few puppies, over the next week or two! 🐶🤍

Please swipe through and VISIT OUR WEBSITE using the link in our bio before applying. About 99% of your questions regarding our foundation, adoption process, fees, and included care can be answered there.

If you emailed us over the summer, we are slowly catching up and responding. Thank you for your patience!

Please email important questions to [email protected]. Comments and direct messages can easily be missed, and it is impossible for our small team to keep up with every social media message.

Thank you for following and supporting our little rescue! 🐾

Meet Riley 💙

🎂 DOB 12/1/22
✂️ Neutered
🦷 Dental complete
💉 Fully vaccinated
📍 Microchipped
🎓 Completed a 2-week board & train Destination Dog Training

🛑 Please read Riley’s entire post before applying.

Riley came to us as a very loved owner surrender weighing a whopping 38 pounds! He’s now down to 27 pounds with just a few more to go. 👏

Riley is a textbook Cavalier. Sweet, cuddly, affectionate and a total couch potato. Once he gets comfortable, though, he can be a little naughty. 😂

Riley is a resource guarder with food and toys and needs an adopter who understands the importance of structure and consistency. He needs a home without small children or cats. Our first choice would be for him to be the only dog, but we would consider a home with a very docile, submissive dog.

Riley completed a two-week board & train and made great progress, but training will need to continue at home.

Place. Drop it. Stay. Leave it. Let’s go.
His new person will live by these words. 😂

Riley needs a confident, Type A adopter who will maintain his training, keep him active with daily walks and help him stay on his weight loss journey because this boy loves food more than just about anything. 😂

In return, you’re getting one BIG love bug who wants nothing more than to snuggle on the couch and be the center of your world. 💙

With the right person, consistency and continued training, we know Riley is going to be an incredible companion. 🐾

💙 INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?

Please have a current adoption application on file ($25 fee) AND email us with the name of the dog you’re interested in. Already have an application on file? Email us [email protected]

Please only apply when you are ready to adopt, everyone in your household is on board, and you have care arranged for any upcoming travel. 🐾

Meet Cash! 👑 - Adopted!

📅 DOB: 10/11/2015
✔️ Neutered • Vaccinated • Microchipped
❤️ Grade 4 Heart Murmur
💊 Daily Heart Medication

Cash came to us after his owner passed away in hospice. He was passed from home to home throughout the neighborhood until a wonderful woman stepped in and realized he needed more specialized care. She trusted us to find him the perfect forever home.

Cash is an absolute lover and cuddle bug who enjoys playing but would also be perfectly happy as an only dog. He takes his medication like a champ right out of your hand or in a pill pocket. He LOVES swimming (he’ll bark at the edge of the pool until you let him in!), enjoys walks and car rides, has great recall, is very food motivated, and isn’t destructive. Since being neutered, he hasn’t marked or hu**ed. His foster mom affectionately calls him her “garage dog” because he’d rather hang out in the man cave, drink a b**r with the boys, and watch NASCAR. 😂

Cash has severe degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) with significant enlargement of the left side of his heart. He has had a full cardiac workup, including an echocardiogram, and recently had a complete dental with multiple extractions. Because of the severity of his heart disease, this was the last dental procedure he can safely undergo.

Current Medications:
💊 Enalapril 5 mg
💊 Vetmedin 2.5 mg
💊 Furosemide 12.5 mg (twice daily)
💊 Spironolactone 25 mg

💰 Estimated monthly medication cost: Approximately $80–150, depending on the pharmacy.

We don’t know if Cash has six months, two years, or even longer. What we do know is that he deserves to spend every day he has left surrounded by love, belly rubs, swimming, walks, and someone who sees far beyond his heart disease. If you have a soft spot for senior Cavaliers and are willing to give this sweet boy the retirement he deserves, Cash will repay you with unconditional love. ❤️

Meet Ginger 🩷🐶 - Pending

• DOB: 12/6/24 🎂
• Cavapoo 🐶
• Spayed ✂️
• Microchipped 📍
• Up to date on vaccinations 💉

Ginger and her sister were purchased from a Cavapoo breeder by an elderly woman who loved them very much. Unfortunately, this breeder prioritized profit over the well-being of the dogs, selling two puppies from the same litter to an owner who was not properly prepared to care for them for the rest of their lives. While technically Cavapoos, it’s pretty clear the Cavalier genetics won with these girls.

The girls developed what’s commonly known as littermate syndrome, and after realizing they needed more than she could provide, their owner made the incredibly difficult and selfless decision to surrender them so they could have the opportunity to thrive as individuals.

Ginger is a shy, sensitive girl who relied heavily on her sister for confidence and really needed to be separated so she could learn how to be a dog on her own. 🌷

Because Ginger gains so much confidence from other dogs, she must have at least one friendly, confident dog in her adoptive home. Having a canine companion helps her feel secure and gives her a role model to follow as she continues building confidence. 🐶💕

She is making progress every day, but her future family should understand that confidence cannot be rushed. With patience, consistency, and love, she will continue to blossom into a wonderful companion. ✨

Meet Pearl (316) 🤍 - Available

📅 DOB: 10/30/2018
✅ Spayed
✅ Fully vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Heartworm negative
✅ No known health issues

Pearl’s story is one we won’t soon forget.

When Pearl arrived in rescue, she was completely shut down and terrified. Shortly after arriving, we discovered she was pregnant. Due to her age, she ultimately required an emergency C-section, and tragically, two of her five puppies did not survive. 🕊️

Despite everything she had been through, Pearl proved to be an incredible mother. She devoted herself to her puppies with patience, love, and unwavering dedication while recovering from major surgery herself.

Over the past few months, Pearl has absolutely blossomed. The scared little dog who arrived unsure of the world quickly had her foster mom and dad wrapped around her paws. She has grown into a sweet, loving, affectionate girl who enjoys being part of a family and is finally learning what it means to simply be a dog.

Pearl would do best in a home with at least one other dog and someone who is home often. She takes comfort from her canine companions and thrives when she has both human and dog friends nearby. She does not yet walk on a leash, so a secure yard is required. She is doing an amazing job pottying outside and continues to make progress every day.

To say Pearl is loved would be an understatement. Her foster family has poured their hearts into helping her become the dog she is today, and her foster mom is probably already tearing up reading this post. While we know saying goodbye will be incredibly hard, helping dogs like Pearl find families of their own is what rescue is all about.

Now that her puppies are grown and she has finished raising her family, it’s Pearl’s turn to be spoiled. She deserves a home where she will be cherished, loved, and never have to worry about anything again.

After everything she has been through, we can’t wait to find Pearl the happily ever after she deserves. ❤️

Please note: This is an adoption post for Pearl only. Her puppies have already been placed with approved adopters who had applications on file.

🐶🤍 Meet Cora ( #303) 🤍🐶 - Adopted

• DOB: 1/15/21 🎂
• Spayed ✔️
• Fully Vaccinated ✔️
• Dental Completed ✔️
• Microchipped ✔️
• No Known Health Issues ✔️

Cora came to us in February as part of the group of retired mill moms we rescued from a large-scale Midwest breeding operation. She is EXACTLY why Cavalier Rescue Foundation exists.

When Cora arrived, she was completely shut down. She was terrified of people, unfamiliar sounds, and everyday life. Simply reaching toward her could cause her to panic, and she would often urinate or defecate out of fear.

Since then, Cora has made incredible progress in foster care. While she still has a long journey ahead of her, she learns a little more every day that the world can be a safe place.

Cora is looking for a very special home with at least one or two confident, friendly dogs who can continue showing her how to be a dog. This is a requirement for her success. She will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Months—and possibly years—may pass before she fully comes out of her shell. She may never enjoy walks on a leash or become what most people would consider a “typical” dog.

What Cora needs most is someone willing to love her exactly as she is and celebrate the small victories. A tail wag. A curious glance. Choosing to sit a little closer. Those moments are huge milestones for a dog like Cora.

If you’ve ever looked around at your pack and thought, “What’s one more?” Cora may be the perfect addition to your family. ❤️
