Introducing Bonny!!

Ms. Bonny (Bon Bon, or Bonny Bon) is a former commercial breeder being fostered in Smithfield, VA. Bonny is 5 years old. She is easy-going, but still a bit shy and timid, but wants to be your best friend and hang out wherever you are. If so inclined, she loves to share the bed and does not snore or hog! When outside, she enjoys being able to zoom about, and her ears start twirling--which is absolutely adorable.

She is still learning about playing. She will watch the cats and other dogs but does not fully understand. She loves having a small ball rolled towards her, she will jump on it, then not know what to do next. She has access to a crate, but only goes there when there is too much going on. She prefers to be on the couch!

She loves to hang out on the couch, gets along well with the cats and other dogs. She will flinch if you touch her unexpectedly, but there is no snap, she is getting used to being adored. When it is time to go in or out, she will circle. We think it is excitement, but also may be adjusting to the process. No accidents in the house!

She does well at mealtime. Bonny needs to be fed in one of the larger kennels, so the other dogs do not eat her food, her appetite is good, not aggressive. Sometimes she does not eat all that is offered, but her weight is good. She is still unsure of treats and not sure of taking treats from strangers when we are out and about. She is not well trained on her leash but is learning. Definitely need a harness for safety!

She is very quiet, I do not think I have heard her bark yet. Looking forward to hearing her voice and to see her personality shine.

ADOPTION PENDING:

Sammi is a true sweetheart! Rescued from a difficult start in life, she has shown remarkable resilience and is now ready for her forever home. Sammi adores cuddling, snuggling on laps, and is a devoted companion who will follow you wherever you go. She's happy, playful, and brings endless joy to her foster family.

Since her rescue, Sammi has made tremendous progress with trust and confidence. She now enjoys going on walks, especially with a canine friend, and even runs in the yard, sometimes chasing a ball! She’s heart clear, healthy, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and scheduled for spaying on November 11. Housetrained and comfortable sleeping in a crate, she’d also love to curl up in bed with her new family.

Sammi will thrive in a calm, loving home with someone home most of the day. A fenced yard is a must, as is the companionship of a confident, well-balanced dog. Older, respectful children are fine too. If you can be patient and let Sammi explore life at her own pace, she will reward you with boundless love and devotion. She is 1 1/2 years old and 17 pounds. She is being fostered in Jackson Springs, NC.

Could you be the forever family for this gentle, loving Cavalier?

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

We can't believe that there hasn't been any interest in Peyton! Below is her updated profile:

Hi! My name is Peyton, I am a very sweet 4-year-old (DOB 7/19/2020) commercial breeding mama and am currently being fostered near Raleigh NC.

I am a very happy girl who LOVES company. I will follow you everywhere….unless it is a scary place. There are lots of scary places out here in the real world. I want to cuddle more and more, but still figuring that out too.

I still don’t really understand playing, but I am currently living with a 1 year old Cavalier puppy who realllly wants me to figure it out. I do go for walks with him, but there is a ton of new stuff to take in, so I stop quite a bit just to look around, sniff and take it all in.

The puppy keeps me company when my Foster Mommy has to leave the house, and boy, is he a comfort. We hang out in our playpen and cuddle. When I am all alone, I will let you know I am not a fan by barking. If I am in a crate with another dog in sight in a crate, I am much better.

I also have a big Golden Retriever around. She is nice, but reallly scary. I sure wish it was only small, calmer dogs with me.
I had a good check-up at the doctor. I am all up to date with my shots and I got spayed and got rid of those yucky bad teeth and feel all better. They did take a bunch of teeth out, but I still have my canines, so my tongue doesn’t hang out. Phew! I definitely like eating much better now. Now, when it is meal time, I do my circle dance in excitement. This diet is starting to stink now that I like eating more, but I sure love it when I get treats. I do love frozen green beans, blue berries and lots of veggies, so it makes dieting easier.

I have done great with potty training and have only had a couple accidents. Now that my foster Mommy started understanding the signs….I have been VERY good and LOVE to get praised with a small treat.

I would do great in a home on the quiet side with another smallish, calmer dogs. I would like to sleep with my human and do like to go on car rides and adventures, but right now, I prefer to be in a stroller when out in a busy area. I am ready to give tons of love to my forever human(s).

I am really excited to meet my forever home, could it be you?

If you feel that Peyton is a good fit for you, please fill out the online adoption application on the Contact Us page on our website.

Meet Tatum! Fostered in King George VA.
Tatum is a small (15 lb) bundle of toe-tapping energy wrapped in a Cavapoo body. She is quickly learning how to be a regular dog and is making great strides every day.

Tatum gets along wonderfully with all of her foster's dogs and loves to cuddle with them on beds. She is a couch potato at heart and has become quite attached to laying on her Foster dad's lap. At night, she prefers sleeping in the bed, snuggled up to a human, where she feels most secure.

Whether in a home with other dogs or as the only lap dog in the house, Tatum will be content. She coexists peacefully with the foster's two cats, showing no interest in them. Initially a bit shy, Tatum is gradually coming out of her shell and showing her sweet personality.

Tatum has mastered the stairs and is making steady progress with the doggy door and house training, having fewer accidents each day.

If you're looking for a loving, cuddly companion who is eager to continue her journey of learning and growth, Tatum might be the perfect addition to your home!

Contact us today to meet Tatum and see if she’s the right fit for your family!

Meet Rory & R***r: A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home!

Rory (a mostly white Cavachon) and R***r (a Cavalier with adorable auburn ears) are two sweet boys who just need love and stability! They are best friends and must be adopted together. Both are 33 pounds, neutered, and up to date on all vaccines. They could both stand to lose about 5 pounds, but are proportional to their size.

These playful pups are potty trained, love to run around, and are great with other dogs and children. They love bully sticks and it keeps them occupied after playing hard outside. A fenced in yard would be ideal for these boys. They are being fostered in the Richmond, VA area.

Thanks to a generous sponsor, half of their adoption fee is covered if adopted as a pair. Could your home be their forever home?

Reach out today to meet Rory and R***r!

Meet your new cuddle buddy, Candy!

Candy is the sweetest Cavapoo, with irresistible big brown eyes. Candy’s favorite spot is snuggled up with you. So much so, that’s taken to being my husband’s little spoon at night. If you stop petting her, she’ll gently put her paw on your hand to kindly ask for more. Even after all she’s gone through as a commercial breeder, her trust of us was instant, and how amazing is that.

Candy has really come out of her shell and is really learning to “puppy”! She’s learned that treats are delicious, and is starting to play with toys, we’ve even gotten a few happy prances around the yard with our cavapoo boy! While she tolerates him outside, she’s mostly annoyed by his puppy energy, and might do well in a home with a calmer furry sibling. She’s not very vocal, sleeps through the night, and almost has her potty training down!

I have 3 kids ranging from 5-10, and they all love each other! I think because they are still learning to trust people, it might not be best to go with super little kids who would pull their tails or inadvertently hurt them etc. We’ve had to remind my 8 year old boy a few times that they are small, and new to living with a family. I’m sure she’ll be a little shy and unsure at first, but give her a few days, and you’ll have a happy puppy and a lifelong friend!

Candy is small but muscular, strong through and through! She looks like she must have been mixed with a Blenheim cavalier, as she has the most gorgeous golden and honey coloring. My oldest daughter has been calling her Goldie Girl! She has the softest, silkiest ears, I love just rubbing them while she snoozes in my lap. She is truly a treasure.

Candy has been fixed and vetted, and is ready for her forever home! She is being fostered in the Williamsburg, VA area.

If you think Candy is a match for you, please go to our website: cavalierrescuecoalition.org and go to the Contact Us page and fill out our online application.

Phoebe is still working on her potty training and would benefit from a consistent schedule to help her master it. She is spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations, sleeps through the night in the big bed, and knows basic commands.

Meet Priscilla: Fostered in Raleigh NC

Priscilla is a gentle and shy 5 yr. old Cavapoo who is searching for a loving forever home. While she might take a bit of time to warm up, once she trusts you, she’ll be your loyal and constant companion. Her favorite activities include snuggling up in her cozy beanbag and soaking up attention from her foster mom. She also enjoys the company of her furry foster siblings, often laying with them and following them around, making her an ideal match for a home with other dogs.

Priscilla is 85% on trained, so she’ll need a bit of patience and guidance in this area. A home with only older children who can offer gentle love and understanding would be the best fit for Priscilla.

Priscilla has been great on the leash and is doing well with her potty training. She has a quirky habit of hoarding toys, taking them to her beanbag or hiding them on her foster mom’s bed. She also enjoys chasing a ball outside, showing off her playful side. She will also walk gently on the leash outside.

If you’re looking for a wonderful companion who loves to relax, be close to you, and would thrive with another dog, Priscilla is the perfect match. She’s ready to bring her sweet, shy charm into a forever home that will give her the love and patience she deserves.
