Last week, we welcomed in beautiful 3 year old Frances (DOB 5/9/2021) who came to us as a breeder release, and she has now undergone her full intake vetting.

14.6 pound Frances’s heartworm and tick borne illness test is negative, f***l test is negative, urinalysis is normal, and bloodwork is normal. She has been cleared for her spay surgery and dental cleaning which is scheduled for next week. Her eyes, knees, hips, and heart were found to be clear and congenitally sound at this time. She has a skin lesion on her neck under her chin that we are treating both topically and with oral antibiotics. Otherwise, she checked out a healthy girl!

Sweet Frances is being fostered in Fort Payne, Alabama and is thoroughly enjoying her new way of life - especially all the TLC 💕

SUMMER
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

⏰ Low alone hours/ plenty of opportunity for activity
🌱 Safe, well maintained yard; fenced preferred
🐶 Young canine playmate of similar size & temperament
💜 Older (8+), gentle children okay

🛑 If you do not check ALL of the above requirements, your application will not pass the screening process for consideration. We do not compromise on these requirements as we feel they are essential to a successful adoption with Summer.

🛑 Before applying to adopt, please be sure that the entire family is on board and committed, and that great consideration is given to the time, effort, and funds involved in properly and responsibly raising a puppy. Summer will be ready to go home on September 5-7. Please only apply if you are able to travel to Birmingham to finalize the adoption at that time.

MEET SUMMER 🐶
Precious Summer is a 9 week old pup (DOB 6/21/2024) who was born in our care just 11 days after her mom was rescued out of a puppy mill. We are delighted she never experienced the horrors of puppy mill life and that instead she has had the opportunity to grow and experience this world surrounded by an abundance of love and care. We are just thrilled that she now has the opportunity to live out a long, happy life full of love with her furever family.

MEDICAL 🩺
On 8/23, at 9 weeks of age, Summer had a puppy vet check where she tipped the scales at a healthy 4.2 pounds and was deemed a healthy pup! She received a physical exam, her first distemper/parvo puppy vaccine, her microchip, had a negative f***l test, and started on monthly heartworm preventative.. Her exam revealed that she is congenitally sound at this time with clear eyes, knees, hips, and heart. She will be due for her next distemper/parvo puppy vaccines on 9/13 and again on 10/4. Her rabies vaccine is due at 6 months of age (December 2024), and she will need to be spayed when age appropriate, per our adoption agreement between 6 and 12 months of age.

FOOD & POTTY HABITS 🥘
Baby Summer loves to eat! She is enjoying her 2 times a day puppy kibble meals as well as special treats throughout the day for being the good pup that she is! She should continue her puppy food until she is a year old and then can transition to an adult formula. She will go home with a bag of her puppy food and favorite treats.

Summer has just started her potty training and has been very good about going potty when taken outside. Puppies have very tiny bladders and need to be taken out very frequently - first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and every hour throughout the day including right after meals and immediately after waking up from naps, to ensure continued potty training success. Her new family will need to take her to a well maintained, safe, and secured area outside to continue her potty training. We will ask that an xpen be used in the yard to limit her space, for safety reasons, until she is older and bigger. She also has access to piddle pads indoors in her area to use when she needs to, and is reliable much of the time. Please understand that Summer is not potty trained and that potty training will be required and ongoing for quite some time. There will be accidents.

PERSONALITY 💕
Summer is full of joy! It’s apparent as she hops around from toy to person, to each other, to toys, to human, repeat, repeat, repeat! This angel is a typical pup who is very happy, sweet, affectionate, and playful - she feels great, and it shows! She enjoys playing with her people, furry friends, and also plays well by herself. Wrestling, playing with toys, tug of war, chewing on nylabones, and being mischievous is all part of the fun - every waking moment is a puppy party! She will go home with several of her favorite puppy toys and chews. She is also very loving and snuggly, especially when she is tired. She loves to snuggle up for TV time on the couch and get lots of cuddles and kisses. We encourage her new family to give her lots of attention, interaction, and affection to build that special, everlasting bond.

ROUTINE ⏰
Mornings start with being taken out to potty and then back in for breakfast. Her foster family is home most of the time, and so she enjoys leisurely days playing and napping wherever her foster family is hanging out. Whenever she cannot be directly supervised or for the short periods of time when no humans are home, she is put in her "condo" which is an area made safe by an xpen - this keeps her safe from being tempted to chew things she shouldn't and get into any potential trouble or dangers. In her condo she has a soft bed, Jakey Blankey, toys, and piddle pads for pottying. She does well left for short periods of time, but of course she is happiest being with her people and having lots of opportunity for activity, attention, and play and so we are seeking a family where someone is able to be with her much of the day and where she will have low alone time.

In the evenings after dinner, she plays and plays until she has worn herself out and then enjoys cuddling and snuggling up close with her humans. When it is time for bed, she is taken out for final pottying, gets her bedtime "cookie", and then goes into her condo to snooze. Once she is large enough, she would certainly love to sleep in the big bed with her family and we are seeking a family who will invite her up with them.

SOCIALIZATION 💜
This sweet angel loves human attention and is friendly, outgoing, and will happily greet you for some love, play, and attention. She loves to be held, snuggled, and cuddled by all, and will offer abundant love to anyone who will accept it. She is not afraid to “ask” for attention and will make it known that she wants to be picked up and held for kisses. She would do well in an adult only home or a home with older (age 8+), well behaved children with dog experience who know how to love and engage with the puppy appropriately and gently and know to keep their things out of puppy reach (please do not apply if you have younger children in the home as your application will not pass screening).

Positive human interactions and experiences are crucial at this time for her socialization and she should have plenty of opportunities to meet and interact with people. When age appropriate and fully vaccinated, we encourage her family to introduce a leash and practice gentle leash training so that she can get out and about and expand on her socialization. For now, a carrier is recommended to tote her around when needed, like to her puppy vet appointments, and to outings where she is able to be included.

Summer is used to having canine companionship and furry playmates. She gets along great with her Cavalier foster siblings and plays hard - she can dish it out as well as take it and loves lots of activity and play! She will be happiest and do best with another young, playful, active Cavalier or other dog of similar size and temperament in the home. The resident dog should be welcoming, tolerant of typical puppy antics, and engage in play and activity with her. An older or senior dog is not a good match. She has not been exposed to cats, but we feel she would do fine with a canine-friendly playful cat.

IDEAL HOME & FAMILY 🏡
Most importantly, this sweetheart needs a family who will shower her with love and attention and make her an included and an important member of her family. She wants nothing more than to be with you. Because puppies need a lot of stimulation, attention, engagement, and activity, we are looking for family with an adult who is able to be with her most of the day to allow for plenty of opportunity for activity, socialization, and successful potty training. While we are not requiring a fenced yard in the home, we are requiring a safe, well maintained yard directly off the home where an xpen (or two) can be kept up and used for her to have a safe outdoor space for pottying. Even if there is a fenced yard in the home, we will still ask that you use an xpen outside until she is older and bigger and can safely have more freedom and space. Fences that are not “privacy” will need to be secured and reinforced as she can fit through narrow spaces.

In addition to an appropriate and safe outdoor area for going potty and play, we will also be looking for a very "puppy proofed" home as puppies will be puppies and will get into everything she can. Anything within reach of the pup is up for grabs and so ensuring that the yard and inside of the home can and will be well maintained for her safety is imperative. Lastly, she is a tiny puppy and will need to be protected from stairs, as well as any railings that she may be able to squeeze through. Puppies are fearless and will not understand dangers, so her new family must be diligent to keep her safe. Equipment like gates and x-pens will need to be utilized.

HOW TO APPLY 💻
Summer is a happy, sweet, precious pup who loves her humans, treats, toys and other furry friends. If you are up for the adventures of puppyhood, feel you’re a great match for Summer, and meet ALL of her requirements, please fill out an adoption application found on our website, TheCavalierRescue.org, then email us at [email protected] to express your interest, *letting us know why you feel you are a match!* Summer is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and travel there is required. She will be ready to go home during September 5-7th. Please only apply if you are a great match and are able to travel to Birmingham to finalize the adoption at that time. Her requested adoption donation is $650.

Yesterday, cute little Baxter visited with our ophthalmologist in Mandeville, Louisiana regarding his pr*****ed gland and secondary “dry eye”.

LANCELOT | ST SIMONS ISLAND, GEORGIA
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

⏰ Low alone hours/plenty of opportunity for activity
🌱 Safe & secure fenced yard
🐶 Playful canine companion of similar size & temperament
💜 Gentle, dog savvy children okay
🚘 Driving distance to a vet ophthalmologist

🛑 If you do not check ALL of the above requirements, your application will not pass the screening process for consideration. We do not compromise on these requirements as we feel they are essential to a successful adoption with Lancelot.

🛑 Before applying to adopt, please be sure that the entire family is on board and committed, and that great consideration is given to the time, effort, and funds involved in properly and responsibly raising a puppy.

MEET LANCE 🐶
Back in June, little Lancelot was rescued out of a filthy, hot Alabama puppy mill. We were not provided any records or information on the dogs so we do not know his exact date of birth, but believe he was about 4 months old when rescued, and is now about 6-7 months of age. Lance is so lucky to have been rescued at a young age and now has the amazing opportunity at a healthy, happy, and long furever after! He has already figured out how to live his best puppy life in foster care and is now ready to find his perfect furever family of his very own!

MEDICAL 🩺
Little Lance now weighs 9 pounds and is filling out nicely with excellent care and groceries. He is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives. Lance will need to be neutered when age appropriate, which per our adoption agreement is by 12 months of age (by February 2025). He was treated for parasites, eye infections, and ear infections in our care. His f***l test and heartworm and tick borne illness test is negative and his bloodwork reflects normal puppy 'wonkiness'. Lance's knees, hips, and heart are clear and congenitally sound but he arrived into our care with low tear production. He has been under the care of our ophthalmologist and his tear production is now within normal limits. He will likely need to remain on his twice a day tear stimulant eye drop medication for life to maintain this adequate tear production and should continue to be monitored by an ophthalmologist. Otherwise, Lance is a healthy young boy!

FOOD & POTTY HABITS 🥘
Lance is a great eater and always licks his bowl clean! He enjoys his three times a day Fromm puppy kibble meals and plenty of healthy treats throughout the day for being the wonderful puppy that he is - he loves apples, bananas, and peaches! Supervision is needed at mealtime to ensure everyone stays at their own bowl. Lance should continue on his puppy kibble through 12 months of age and then can transition to an adult recipe. We will send him home with a bag of his puppy food and favorite treats.

Lance is a typical pup learning potty training and has been very good about going potty outside when taken out. Puppies have very tiny bladders and need to be taken out very frequently - first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and every hour or so throughout the day including right after meals and immediately after waking up from naps, to ensure continued potty training success. He isn't having an overnight accidents, but does need to be rushed outside first thing when he wakes up. Lance is being let out into a safe and secured fenced yard for pottying and will need a home with a well maintained, safe, and secured fenced yard. Because he is very food motivated, a special high value treat immediately following good potty behavior will be excellent reward and reinforcement for him as he continues to learn what is expected of him. Please understand that continued potty training will be required and ongoing for quite some time. There will be accidents, especially initially as he learns a whole new environment and routine.

PERSONALITY 💕
Lance's foster family describe him as a pistol - he is spunky, playful, and adventurous! They say, "he has a ton of energy and can quickly go from playing chase with another dog, to chewing on a bone, to leaping on the couch for some TLC!" He also loves being outside in the yard where he will independently explore and search for the perfect stick or leaf to play with. He is a lover of toys, ice cubes, roughhousing with the other boys in the house, and is a known shoe thief (flip flops are his favorite!) He is a typical puppy in that he will play and play until he wears himself out and then naps and recharges for the next round. When he's tired, he becomes a snuggly puppy and loves a good cuddle with you!

ROUTINE ⏰
Lance's day starts with a trip outside in the yard for pottying, then back inside for breakfast, then back out for play! He loves to be outside running, exploring, and hunting for sticks and squirrels! He spends much of the day with his foster family where it's eat, play, nap, on repeat throughout the day! He goes outside every hour or so for pottying, play, fresh air, and sunshine in the fenced yard. During the short periods of time when no humans are home, Lance stays in a puppy proofed gated off area of the home with his Cavalier foster siblings. There he is kept away from being tempted to chew things he shouldn't and safely away from any potential dangers or trouble. He has plenty of space, comforts and companionship. Lance does well left for short periods of time, but is of course happiest being with his people and having lots of opportunity for activity, attention, and play and so we are seeking a family where someone is able to be with him much of the day and where he will have low alone time. Lance has not been crated or otherwise strictly confined since being in our care - he does not need to be and we do not recommend that he is due to his past history of confinement.

After dinner, it's time to go potty and then more play! When it is time for bed, he is taken out for final pottying and then uses pet steps to get onto the big bed. After a full day of fun and play, he sleeps well throughout the night cuddled up close to one of his Cavalier foster siblings. He does not have overnight accidents but must be taken out right before bed and then rushed outside first thing in the morning when he wakes up. We are seeking a family who will continue to allow him into the big bed with them, where every Cavalier belongs.

SOCIALIZATION 💜
Since Lance missed out on socialization the first 4 months of his life, he can still be slightly timid and cautious when meeting new people, but warms up very quickly once shown gentle love. He is very curious about new people and will approach but then startles when reached for. It is best to slowly introduce your hands to him and give him ample time to feel comfortable and safe. Loud noises will also get his attention and startle him but he recovers quickly. He is getting more and more comfortable with people, noises, and the world around him every day! We feel he would do well in an active adult only home or a home with gentle, well behaved children with dog experience who know how to love and engage with puppies appropriately and gently and know to keep their things out of puppy reach.

Positive human interactions and experiences are crucial at this time for his socialization and so he should have plenty of opportunities to meet and interact with people. He is not yet leash trained as he has had the freedom of a securely fenced yard, and so we will encourage his family to start gentle leash training so that he can get out and about and have more opportunities to expand his little world. For now, a carrier is recommended to tote him around to outings where he is able to be included. - he would love to be able to tag along with you whenever possible! He travels very well in the car in his Snoozer boosted car seat where he is safe and comfortable - we will ask that his family get one for him.

Lance loves his Cavalier foster siblings and gets along with them very well. He looks to them to know what to do, where to go, how to behave, and follows their lead. In addition to the leadership they provide for him, they also provide him with the canine companionship that he longs for. He very much needs another young, active, playful canine furiend in his furever home who will welcome him silly puppy antics and engage in play with him. His ideal match would be another young Cavalier or other dog of similar size and temperament who enjoys playing and sharing toys, romping, wrestling, and playing chase and tug of war with him. When he has run out of steam, he can be found cuddled up close to his furry furiends. He has not been exposed to any cats while in our care so we are unsure how he would do living with a cat in the home.

IDEAL HOME & FAMILY 🏡
Most importantly, Lance needs a family who will shower him with so much love and attention and make him an included and important member of their family. He needs a patient, loving family to help teach and guide him on how to be the best puppy he can be, and who has the time to love and train him. Because puppies need a lot of stimulation, attention, engagement, and activity, we are looking for a family who is able to be with him much of the day to allow for plenty of opportunity for activity, socialization, and for staying the course with his potty training. He needs a playful canine furiend for both leadership and companionship, and needs a home with a well maintained yard and safe and secured fence for pottying and so that he can continue to enjoy his outdoor freedom. He loves to be outside and would love to find a family who would also enjoy spending time outdoors with him. Please understand that he is tiny at 9 pounds and fences that are not “privacy” will need to be secured and reinforced as he can fit through narrow spaces.

In addition to a safe outdoor area for pottying and play, we will also be looking for a very "puppy proofed" home as puppies will be puppies and will get into everything they can. Anything within reach of the pup is up for grabs and so ensuring that the yard and inside of the home can and will be well maintained for his safety is imperative. He will also need to be protected from any railings that he may be able to squeeze through. Puppies are fearless and will not understand dangers, so his new family must be diligent to keep him safe. We will also ask that there are pet steps to the furniture so that he can safely get on and off. Lastly, his family should live within reasonable driving distance to a veterinary ophthalmologist as Lance's eyes should be monitored to ensure he is continuing to respond well to his tear stimulant drop and that his tears are remaining within normal limits.

Wild Friday night at Cliff & Samantha’s foster home 🤪

Cliff & Samantha are located in Hoover, Alabama, and just became available for adoption today! See the post below this one ⬇️ to learn all about them 💜

23/08/2024

CLIFF & SAMANTHA | BIRMINGHAM, AL
BONDED PAIR | AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

⏰ Low alone hours/plenty of opportunity for activity
🌱 Safe & secure fenced yard
💜 Older (8+), gentle children okay
🚘 Driving distance to a vet ophthalmologist

🛑 If you do not check ALL of the above requirements, your application will not pass the screening process for consideration. We do not compromise on these requirements as we feel they are essential to a successful adoption with Cliff & Samantha.

🛑 Before applying to adopt, please be sure that the entire family is on board and committed, and that great consideration is given to the time, effort, and funds involved in properly and responsibly raising a puppy.

MEET CLIFF 🐶 & SAMANTHA 🐶
Cliff (ruby male) & Samantha (blenheim female) are 6 month old littermates who we rescued out of a filthy, hot Alabama puppy mill when they were 4 months old. The poor babies had a seriously rough start to life and were sick, malnourished, neglected, and pathetic when they were rescued. After 2 months of abundant love and care, they are now strong, healthy, happy, thriving babies who have left puppy mill life far behind and are now living their best puppy lives! There is just one thing missing now - their furever family...

MEDICAL 🩺
Cliff & Samantha are small in size weighing between 7-8 pounds each and are filling out nicely now with excellent care and groceries. They are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives. Samantha has been treated for parasites and ear infections in our care and also recently underwent her spay surgery which she has now fully recovered and healed from. Samantha is congenitally sound with clear eyes, knees, hips, and heart. Her heartworm and tick borne illness test is negative and her bloodwork is normal for a puppy. Her f***l test still reflects a positive giardia antigen which can remain positive for quite some time after treatment. Samantha is not on any medication and does not require any additional vetting outside of regular wellness checks at this time.

Cliff will need to be neutered when age appropriate, which per our adoption agreement is by 12 months of age (by February 2025). We treated Cliff for parasites and ear infections in our care. His heartworm and tick borne illness test is negative and his bloodwork is normal for a puppy. His f***l test also still reflects a positive giardia antigen which can remain positive for quite some time after treatment. Cliff's knees, hips, and heart are clear and congenitally sound but unlike Samantha, he has low tear production. Thankfully he was rescued so young and so this condition was able to be diagnosed and addressed early on before any secondary changes. He has been under the care of our ophthalmologist and his tear production is now within normal limits. He will likely need to remain on his twice a day tear stimulant eye drop medication for life to maintain this adequate tear production and should continue to be monitored by an ophthalmologist. Cliff isn't crazy about the eye drops, but he is getting better with them.

FOOD & POTTY HABITS 🥘
Now that Cliff & Samantha are off medications and feeling great, they have become much more enthusiastic eaters and enjoying their twice a day meals and plenty of treats. These silly puppies have discovered the vegetable garden in the yard and will sneak about and help themselves to a treat right off the vine! They will need supervision at mealtime to ensure that they stay at their own bowl and each get their appropriate amount of food. They should continue on their puppy kibble through 12 months of age and then can transition to an adult recipe. We will send them home with a bag of their puppy food and their favorite treats.

Cliff & Sam are learning potty training and have been very good about going potty outside when they are taken out. Puppies have very tiny bladders and need to be taken out very frequently - first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and every hour or so throughout the day including right after meals and immediately after waking up from naps, to ensure continued potty training success. They are being let out into a safe and secured fenced yard for pottying and will need a home with a well maintained, safe, and secured fenced yard. Because they love treats, a special high value treat immediately following good potty behavior will be excellent reinforcement for them as they are continuing to learn what is expected of them. When they cannot be directly supervised, they have access to piddle pads in their xpen to use when they need to. Please understand that continued potty training will be required and ongoing for quite some time. There will be accidents.

PERSONALITY 💕
Cliff & Sam's foster family describe them as fun, sweet, playful, and snuggly! It has warmed our hearts to see them go from cautious, timid, and fearful puppies to now happy, energetic, outgoing and fearless! They are typical puppies in that they will play and play until they wear themselves and then nap and recharge for the next round! They love toys and playing with each other as well as with their other spaniel foster siblings. When they are tired, they become super sweet snuggly puppies and love a good cuddle with you!

ROUTINE ⏰
Cliff & Sam are up bright and early and their day starts with a trip outside in the yard for pottying then back inside for breakfast. When their foster family works from home, they stay with them in their home office where they mostly snooze on the job on a comfy dog bed! They are taken outside in the yard frequently throughout the day for pottying, play, fresh air, and sunshine. On days where they are left for a few hours at home without a human, they hang out in a spacious x-pen where they can be safely kept away from being tempted to chew things they shouldn’t and get into any potential trouble or dangers. In their xpen they have a soft bed, Jakey Blankey, toys, and piddle pads for pottying, and of course each other to keep them entertained. They do well left for short periods of time, but of course they are happiest being with their people and having lots of opportunity for activity, attention, and play and so we are seeking families where someone is able to be with them much of the day and where they will have low alone time.

They will let you know that it's time for dinner at about 5:30pm. After dinner, it's time to go potty and then play play play until they have worn themselves out, and then enjoy cuddling and snuggling up close with their humans on the couch. When it is time for bed, they are taken out for final pottying and then go into their xpen to snooze. Once they are bigger and more reliably potty trained, they would certainly love to sleep in the big bed with you and so we are seeking a family who will invite them up with them.

SOCIALIZATION 💜
Since Cliff & Sam missed out on socialization the first 4 months of their lives, they can still be slightly timid when meeting new people, but they warm up very quickly once shown gentle love. It does not take them long before they start giving out kisses and curling up in laps! They love human attention and affection and are sweet, snuggly, cuddly pups. They would do well in an active adult only home or a home with older (age 8+), well behaved children with dog experience who know how to love and engage with puppies appropriately and gently and know to keep their things out of puppy reach (please do not apply if you have younger children in the home as your application will not pass screening).

Positive human interactions and experiences are crucial at this time for their socialization and the puppies should have plenty of opportunity to meet and interact with people. They are not yet leash trained as they have the freedom of a securely fenced yard, and so we will encourage their families to start gentle leash training with them so they can get out and about and have more opportunities to expand their little world. For now, a carrier is recommended to tote them around to outings where they are able to be included. Their small size makes them very "portable" and so it is easy to include them. We do expect they will be small as adults as well.

Cliff & Sam have only known being together and have gone through some pretty tough times depending on each other - now they get to enjoy the good life together! They get along very well and make a wonderful pairing! One of the biggest benefits of adopting a pair of puppies is that they have a playmate in each other which keeps them both busy, entertained, and out of trouble. They play hard with each other and with their other spaniel foster siblings where they will run, wrestle, and romp! Because they have each other, we are not requiring another canine companion in the home, but they also would do very well with and enjoy another playful furiend who is welcoming and tolerant of typical puppy antics. Their ideal canine companion would be another cavalier or other dog of similar size and temperament who would engage in play with them. They not been exposed to cats in our care, so we are unsure how they would respond to a cat in the home.

IDEAL HOME & FAMILY 🏡
Most importantly, Cliff & Sam need a family who can shower them with love and attention and make them included and important members of their family. They need a patient, loving family to help teach and guide them on how to be the best puppies they can be and have the time to love them and train them. They want nothing more than to be with you. Because puppies need a lot of stimulation, attention, engagement, and activity, we are looking for a family with an adult who can be with them most of the day to allow for plenty of opportunity for activity, socialization, and for successful potty training. They need a home with a well maintained yard and safe and secured fence for pottying and so they can continue to enjoy their outdoor freedom. Please understand that they are very tiny at 7-8 pounds and fences that are not “privacy” will need to be secured and reinforced as they can fit through narrow spaces.

In addition to an appropriate and safe outdoor area for pottying and play, we will also be looking for a very "puppy proofed" home as puppies will be puppies and will get into everything they can. Anything within reach of the pup is up for grabs and so ensuring that the yard and inside of the home can and will be well maintained for their safety is imperative. They are tiny and need to be protected from stairs, as well as any railings that they may be able to squeeze through, in their new home. Puppies are fearless and will not understand dangers, so their new family must be diligent to keep them safe. Equipment like gates and xpens will need to be utilized. We will also ask that there are pet steps to the furniture so that they can safely get on and off. Lastly, their family should live within reasonable driving distance to a veterinary ophthalmologist as Cliff's eyes should be monitored to ensure he is continuing to respond well to his tear stimulant drop and that his tear production remains within normal limits.

HOW TO APPLY 💻
Cliff & Sam are happy, sweet, silly, precious pups who love their humans, treats, each other, and other furry friends. If you are up for the adventures of puppyhood, feel you’re a great match for this bonded pair, and meet ALL of their requirements, please fill out an adoption application found on our website, TheCavalierRescue.org, then email us at [email protected] to express your interest, *letting us know why you feel you are a match!* Cliff & Sam are located in Hoover, Alabama, and travel there is required. Cliff has proven to get car sick and so we are requiring that the adopting family get them a Snoozer boosted car seat which helps mitigate this. He will also have an anti-nausea medication on board for his trip home. Cliff & Sam are ready to go home now, so please only apply if you are a great match, and are able to travel to Hoover, AL to finalize the adoption at this time. Their requested adoption donation is $650 each ($1300).

Happy New Year 🎉 Before we jump all the way into 2024, let’s take one last look back at 2023 and remember all the amazing Cavaliers that came through our rescue 💜 Because of your support, we were able to be there for them 💕

Look who is feeling better! 🪿🩵🪿🩵 In addition to his 2 pound weight gain, we got his labwork results in, and all of his values are trending in the right direction 🙌🏼 His fecal tests is now negative for parasites, his white blood count has improved from a very high 46 to an almost normal 20, and his hematocrit (anemia) has improved from 21 to 27.5, well working its way to a normal 37 which takes some time 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We did detect some yeast in his ears and so we’ve added an antifungal ear medication to his regimen and he continues on his probiotics and iron supplement. In 2 weeks we will recheck his ears, get an updated weight, and run another CBC to continue to monitor his values. As long as he continues to make good progress, we will hopefully be able to look to scheduling his neuter and dental in the near future. Looking like 2024 is going to be the year of the GOOSE! 💙

Recently adopted Ajax (black & tan) and his new brother Rusty put a whole new meaning on becoming “fast furiends” 💨 It was a perfect match! 💕 #Pupdate #RescueAlum
