🚨 Six Owner Surrenders in Less Than Two Weeks 🚨

It’s been a whirlwind — we’ve taken in SIX Cavaliers in just under two weeks. Four seniors and two adults, all surrendered by families who, for various reasons, could no longer care for them. We’ve always stood by our motto: No Cavalier Left Behind.

We never shame anyone for doing the right thing by reaching out to a breed-specific rescue — we’re simply grateful they did. These six dogs came to us from all kinds of heartbreaking situations: a senior care facility, a senior who was rushed to the ICU, and even a domestic violence case. All of them deserve safety, comfort, and a second chance.

Of the six dogs:
❤️ 3 have significant grade 4/5 heart murmurs
💔 1 is already entering congestive heart failure
🦷 5 need dentals
💉 2 require spays, all need vaccinations
💊 Most will need ongoing heart medications, x-rays, and echocardiograms

This sudden intake has put a huge financial strain on our rescue. We’re a small, volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit — just two moms who adore Cavaliers. We don’t have salaried staff. Every single dollar donated goes directly to the care of our dogs.

We rarely ask, but today we need your help. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every donation makes a difference. Many of our supporters also take advantage of employer donation matching programs — it’s a great way to double your impact.

🙏 Please consider donating and sharing.
💗 Help us continue to say yes when Cavaliers need us most.

🚨 Emergency Foster Needed 🚨
Bonded Cavalier Mother-Daughter Duo 💔🐾

📩 Email [email protected]
📲 Reach out to Nicole or Erin

We’re urgently looking for a foster home for Sugar (10) and her daughter Cuba (8) — a sweet, bonded pair of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Their elderly owner was recently hospitalized and is no longer able to care for them. These girls have known nothing but love, coming from a high-quality boutique breeder here in the Valley.

They are leash trained and were fully potty trained, though may need a little refresher due to their owner’s declining health. As typical Cavaliers, they’re loving, gentle, and great with everyone.

🐶 They’re being seen today at our vet, Kierland Animal Clinic, for full exams and to be updated on vaccinations.

Our top priority is keeping them together. If you can open your heart and home temporarily, please reach out right away.

Meet Milo 💙 AVAILABLE and accepting applications

🚨Senior & Medical Adoption
🐾 1/13/17
🐾 Neutered, fully vaccinated, dental, microchipped, heart worm negative
🐾 GRADE 5 murmur, x-rays confirmed enlarged heart - started on Pimobendan
🐾 Full mouth dental extraction - zero teeth

This sweet 8-year-old gentleman came to us as a retired breeder release, and now he’s ready to enjoy the good life.

Milo is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and great with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s everything we love about Cavaliers—loyal, loving, and eager to be close to his people.

Like many Cavaliers, Milo does have some heart issues. He has a grade 5 murmur, and X-rays revealed an enlarged heart. We started him on pimobendan, and his future family will need to continue with his cardiac care. With proper management, his murmur can improve—and he could still have many wonderful years ahead.

Milo has so much love left to give. He’s calm, cuddly, and so deserving of a forever home that will cherish him in his golden years.

🚨 If you’re interested in Milo, please email [email protected] and let us know if you already have a completed adoption application and fee on file.

If you plan to apply, please be ready to welcome a new dog into your home—make sure your partner is aware, and that you have a plan in place for any upcoming trips or vacations. We are unable to provide care or hold dogs once they are ready to be placed. 🐶

🐾 Tracheal Stenosis - narrow cranial thoracic trachea

Meet Pickles!
This sweet little Maltipoo came to us as a breeder release. While we often help place retired Cavaliers, occasionally breeders ask for help with other special pups—and that’s how Pickles found his way to us.

Pickles was born with a condition called tracheal stenosis (a narrow cranial thoracic trachea), which is a congenital abnormality affecting his airway. It’s similar to the breathing challenges seen in flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs. While there’s no cure, his condition is manageable with some simple precautions—mainly keeping him cool, calm, and avoiding overheating.

Pickles is a total lovebug. He’s great with kids, dogs, and cats, and has that classic Maltipoo personality—super affectionate, clingy, and devoted. If he could be carried around like a baby all day, he’d be in heaven. He wants to be wherever his person is and will quickly become your little shadow.

If you’re interested in Pickles, please email [email protected] and let us know if you already have a completed adoption application and fee on file.

Meet Charlie our Cancer Survivor 🎀

🐾 Female - Blenheim
🐾 10/18/18
🐾 Spayed, microchipped, dental, heartworm negative, vaccinated
🐾 Grade 3 Mammary Adenocarcinoma - Left sided radical mastectomy
🐾 Dry eye - needs daily drops for life (added 5/11 forgot to add in original post)

This sweet girl came to us as a breeder release, ready to retire from her days of raising puppies.

When Charlie arrived, we discovered a mass on one of her mammary glands. During her spay, we had it removed and sent out for biopsy. It came back as a Grade 3 Mammary Adenocarcinoma, breast cancer. Following veterinary advice, we proceeded with a left-sided radical mastectomy to remove all associated mammary tissue where the cancer was found. By doing so, we significantly reduced the risk of the cancer returning — and as far as we know, Charlie is currently cancer-free.

Charlie has recovered beautifully and is now ready to find her forever home. She thrives in an environment with other dogs and would love a home filled with affection, attention, and people who are ready to cherish her as much as she deserves.

🚨 If you’re interested in Charlie, please email [email protected] and let us know if you already have a completed adoption application and fee on file.

Meet Peanut 🎀- No longer accepting applications 5/9 6:30am.

🐾 Female - Tri Color
🐾 11/8/2024
🐾 Spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated

Peanut came to us as a breeder release in February and has been in medical foster care ever since. As a young puppy, she became very ill with a dangerously high fever. The breeder didn’t think she’d survive, but she did ❤️! He chose not to sell her—thankfully, and reached out to our rescue.

She arrived weighing just over 2 pounds, missing patches of hair, and very weak. Now she’s spunky, full of life, and ready for her forever home! She’ll likely remain a smaller Cavalier due to her early illness, but she’s thriving and now weighs over 6 pounds. Peanut would do best in a home with lots of attention and other dogs to keep her company.

🚨 If you’re interested in Peanut, please email [email protected] and let us know if you already have a completed adoption application and fee on file.

🐾 Meet Loki, our newest arrival! 🐾

This handsome boy is Loki, and he is an owner surrender. Loki has had a bit of a journey, finding himself in multiple homes before coming to us. His most recent family loved him dearly but sadly faced some tough times and could no longer provide the care he needed. ❤️

Loki is a very energetic Cavalier who is excellent with other dogs and loves everyone he meets! 🥰 Born 12/25/21, this almost 3-and-a-half-year-old has plenty of love and playful energy to share. He’s currently a little chunky, which we’ll address with a healthy diet and exercise plan. 💪

Loki will stay with our rescue for a little while as we get him in for a complete veterinary checkup and ensure he’s up-to-date on all his vaccinations. Once he’s given a clean bill of health, he will be available for adoption and ready to find his forever home! 🏡

🚨 Keep an eye on our page for more updates on Loki’s journey and when he’ll be ready to meet his new family. We have a feeling this lovable guy won’t be waiting for long! 👀

From freeway on-ramp to his forever home! 🎉 Remember this guy? One of our Instagram followers immediately stepped up to foster after seeing our post, welcoming “Freeway” (now Nathaniel!) with open arms. His sweet nature and perfect manners made him an instant family member. Talk about a foster fail success story! So thrilled for Nathaniel and his new loving home. 🐶🐱🐱❤️

Meet Tater Tot 🎀 ADOPTED

🐾 1/10/2022
🐾 Female (spayed)
🐾 Fully vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative
🐾 Dental with 6 extractions
🐾 20 pounds

We introduced you to this sweet retired breeding mama about a month ago. Tater Tot is looking for her forever home. She came to us as a breeder release and is extremely shy. She needs a very patient and understanding home to help her blossom. Allowing her to be herself and come around on her own time is critical. Please understand that she may never be a “normal” dog in the traditional sense.

* 🐶 1-2 confident dogs; she is great with cats. She thrives in a pack and gains confidence by watching other dogs.
* 🏡 A patient and gentle family who will give her time to adjust.
* 🚫 Please note: Tater Tot is not leash-trained and will need a securely fenced yard, and her foster mom thinks a dog door would be great for her.
* 🚫 No young children. A calm and predictable environment is crucial for Tater Tot’s well-being, and young children’s energy can overwhelm her.

She’s a gentle soul who deserves a loving retirement. 🥰

PLEASE be prepared to welcome a new dog into your home; your partner knows you applied to adopt and have proper care if you have planned a trip or vacation. Once a Cavalier is ready to be placed, we move quickly to create space in foster homes for more Cavaliers.

💕 Meet Coco! 💕 - no longer accepting applications

🐾 9/11/2024 - 6 months old
🐾 Microchipped and fully vaccinated (spay scheduled Monday, 3/17)
🐾 Great with kids, dogs, and even cats! Big dogs make her a little nervous, but she is warming up to our Golden Retriever we have in foster.

Coco was surrendered to our rescue due to unforeseen personal circumstances involving her previous owner. She has been given excellent care and is very sweet. She is about 90% potty trained; she’s still a puppy and does great in her kennel

Coco is ready to fill your home with love and cuddles! She’s a perfect companion for anyone looking to adopt a Cavalier. She would do better in a house with another confident and playful dog.

Interested in making Coco a part of your family? Please have a current application and application fee on file. Be ready to welcome Coco immediately, with your household fully prepared for her arrival (specifically your partner), including any necessary pet care arrangements for upcoming travel. Once a dog is ready for placement, we finalize adoptions quickly, especially owner surrenders.

🐾 FOSTER FOUND

This adorable Cavalier Cocker mix (our expert opinion 😉) was found running on the I-17 freeway on-ramp. A kind soul rescued him and did everything they could to find his owner, but sadly, it seems he may have been abandoned.

This sweet boy is a cuddle bug! He’s incredibly affectionate, loves snuggling, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He’s got a heart of gold, but he does have a bit of a flight risk. He needs a foster home with a secure, fenced yard because he’s a runner when doors are open.

He’s scheduled for his neuter and vet appointment THIS Friday, and will be ready for his foster family to pick him up directly from the vet Scottsdale rd and Acoma.

JW 👑 - Adopted
Tri-Color
5/11/24 - 10 months
Neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped
Genetically Tested

We first introduced you to this wild guy earlier this month. JW is a high-energy Cavalier who will provide endless belly laughs, but he will 100% steal your shoes, socks, and anything he can get into his mouth! Your houseplants, you can kiss them goodbye! He needs a home that can get him out on some serious walks and keep a good eye on him because he will give you a run for your money. He is all puppy and may require some additional obedience training. He has not lived in a home setting, so it’s safe to assume he is not potty trained.

If you’re interested in JW, please EMAIL [email protected] if you have a current adoption application (+ app fee).

PLEASE be prepared to welcome a new dog into your home; your partner knows you applied to adopt and have proper care if you have planned a trip or vacation. Once a Cavalier is ready to be placed, we move quickly to create space in foster homes for more Cavaliers.

HUGE THANK YOU TO for fostering this wild guy!
