Rescue
HEARTWORM TREATMENT: Since we live in Florida, and the mosquito problem is year round, a lot of our dogs are coming in heartworm positive. There is now a new non- invasive/inexpensive treatment for this. It is giving the Heartguard tablets with some courses of antibiotics (that are free from Publix/Walmart). So don’t let that stop you from considering a dog with this, as it will be cleared up with this treatment with no harm to the dog or your pocketbook. We can give you additional information.

Nicky
Nicky is about 3yrs old, weighing 14lbs which is just right. His foster mom says he loves everyone he meets and is very good with his 3 foster brothers and 1 sister. Nicky lost his right eye, but clearly sees the good in everyone and all the good life has to hold with his remaining eye. Nicky chased his foster mom’s cat since it seemed like fun, and may have to be tried again around cats. It’s not known how he is with kids yet; since he hasn’t seen any since his recent arrival. He is good about baths, grooming, ear cleaning, and leash walking. Nicky likes to cuddle, but likes to play with toys too. He is potty trained and knows how to use a doggy door! (WOW) Nicky’s a terrific, carefree boy, just waiting for you to come and give him a furever home. His foster mom says whoever gets him is going to get a sweet, special, happy-go-lucky boy.

Faith
Faith has come a long way in the few weeks I have had her. She was very thin but is now at her proper weight and looks great. She is a beautiful shade of red along with white . She is shy and still need to be where she feels safe, in her kennel or on the couch. She still need extra love and gentle care. She is continuing to grow in confidence with every passing day. She likes to walk outside but still doesn’t like the leash, but we are working on that. She is good with her potty training, just maybe a few extra trips outside. Due to no dental care and bad food she has lost quite a few of her teeth. She can eat the small kibble just fine but I still moisten it because I think it’s easier for her. Faith’s fur was cut short because it was all matted, but is growing back quickly with her great diet. She is getting feathers now and with her gorgeous coloring she will be a beautiful dog. She has the softest eyes and just fair warning, they melt your heart.

Annabelle- ADOPTED
Sophie- Cavalier with a sprinkle of Australian Shepherd- Adoption Pending
In helping out another rescue organization we have come across beautiful 1 year old Sophie. She is a sweet, kind and loving Cavalier with a little Australian Sheppard mixed in. So you are getting the best of both breeds; the sweet loving nature of a Cavalier and the playfulness of the Australian Sheppard. She has some Blue Merling on her back mixed in with the black and is absolutely stunning looking. She is a small girl who weighs in at 17 pounds. She is up to date on all her shots, spayed and heart worm negative. She is great with kids, loves to ride in the car and is very smart. The foster mom said she learned to use the dog door after only showing her one time how it worked. She is easy to groom and is a low maintenance girl. Her adoption fee is only $200 since she is a mixed breed.
Chauncey- Adopted
Hi, my name is Chauncey my foster mom calls me Mr. Lovable. I am a mature 8 yr old lovable boy who loves food and treats so my mom helps me watch my diet so in time and with help I will return to my boyish figure. My foster brother, sister and I love to go outside and run around and snuggle next to mom. Sometimes I bark at the animals on TV or if I see them outside, but mostly I enjoy laying on the couch getting my belly rubbed. My foster mom tells me I am very special and will make someone a great companion as I give her 120% love back in return.
Hope
Hope is around 6 years old, is enjoying great food, warm baths and being groomed to bring a shine back to her coat. She is almost there on her potty training, is also has learned how to walk on a leash and gets 2 walks a day. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to snuggle and will always greet you with a beautiful smile and a wagging tail. She is easy to fall in love with because she will give it right back and her foster mom says she’s a real character who often makes her laugh with her shenanigans. Her coat was shaved, but is growing back in nicely. She is being treated for a minor infection of heartworm and will continue with her treatment over the next 5-6 months.

Jacob and Lilly- Adopted
From Jacob & Lily’s foster mother: These are the Cavaliers you’ve always dreamed of owning. Jacob & Lily are brother and sister, approximately 3 years old. They came in great condition from a loving home. Unfortunately their owner became ill and turned them over to Cavalier Rescue when she could no longer care for them. Lily has huge dark eyes and a beautiful long, straight shiny coat. She has a perfect Cavalier head and breaks your heart when she lovingly gazes up at you. Jacob also has beautiful eyes & is adorable – taller than Lilly, a perfect weight with white hairs that want to stand straight up on his head. They are crated separately for meal times since Lily eats her food quickly & is always up for seconds. She says she’d like to lose a few pounds but is always hungry. We totally understand. They love their raw food and have had no digestive upsets in the transition from kibble. Lily is the ultimate lap dog. When not lap hopping she makes us laugh. She loves her squeaky toys & proudly carries one around taunting the other dogs. Jacob is a sweetheart & will put his head on your shoulder & sleep there. Both dogs love their foster father as well as mom. Both love going for walks and adore each new person and dog they meet. Since they have been together since birth they will only be placed together in a loving home. These are our first foster dogs and we love them dearly. We will cry our eyes out when they find their permanent home!

Angel- ADOPTION PENDING
THIS PHOTO OF ‘ANGEL” WAS TAKEN RIGHT AFTER PILOT N PAWS, A GREAT ORGANIZATION THAT TRANSPORTS RESCUE DOGS AT NO COST, FLEW HER TO US.
Angel fits her name to a tee and has made excellent progress since her arrival two weeks ago. She is learning to walk with a leash, how to enjoy “doggie cookies,” and is making great strides with housebreaking. She gets along fine with other dogs and cats and has spent time with several people, from young children to adults; she is very socially adjusted. When she came into rescue, her vision was poor, she had a yeast infection in her ears, she was quite thin (suffering from anemia), and desperately in need of teeth cleaning. With a good diet (including liver in addition to puppy food), her vision has improved to a point where you wouldn’t even know she had a problem. Her ears are being treated and once we “fatten her up” a little more, she will have her teeth cleaned and will be spayed. She was also diagnosed with Dry Eye so is now on daily drops. We’re not sure of her age, but guesstimate is 8. She does have a slight heart murmur. Angel has the sweetest disposition and will be a wonderful friend to someone who appreciates the typical Cavalier traits that she so lovingly displays.

Finnegan- ADOPTION PENDING
Finnegan is such a warm, loving and outgoing sweetheart that if you are not careful, you will forget he is essentially blind. Although his vision is limited to extreme light/dark shadows his attitude is ‘what’s new out there that I have not found yet’. He absolutely loves all people and animals and can’t wait to be held and petted, or to play.
He came to us with some barking issues and potty training challenges. He is so smart, it didn’t take long to determine that the barking issues was a very smart man who had learned that if he barked he got held. HE LOVES TO BE HELD!!! Barking is also the only way he has of letting you know he is there, so a quick comment to let him know you see him quickly resolves most barking, LOL except when you are fixing his meals. The potty training is a continuing work in progress. He will go outside, you just have to be patient while he checks out the whole yard before he decides to do his business. So… he needs someone who can look past the blindness to see the very intelligent man within otherwise he will bark the roost, so to speak.
He is in the process of growing back all of his beautiful hair which had to be shaved off due to neglect at the puppy mill. Finnegan still needs to be neutered and have some work done on his teeth, but surgery has been held until he is further recovered from the heart worms and the damage they were doing on his heart. Once neutered we are hoping his need to mark everything will disappear, but in the meantime the belly band does not bother him or stop him from playing and enjoying life. Finnegan may be one of the older dogs in age,10 years, but in his heart and attitude, he is as young and lively as they come. He will make a wonderful addition to a family that understands blind doesn’t mean handicapped. Walks can be accomplished on leash by clicking, or talking to him so he knows where you are. Playing in the back yard off leash is easily accomplished, just be sure you have your pool gated off because he loves to swim and will not hesitate to jump in the water.
