Is there anyone in the Riverside area able to do an assessment for a potential Cavalier rescue situation? If so, please message me. Thanks!!

Darling Little Bella Is Looking For a Forever Home . . .

Here is what her foster mom has to say about Bella . . .

Bella is a sweet as can be Cavalier Blenheim a little over a year. She

 is full of energy and will follow you everywhere hoping you give her

 love or play with her. She likes to sit with you on the couch, chair,

 bed, under my desk, or anywhere you are.. She is very sweet, good with

 other dogs. Is not aggressive. Though she is shy around new dogs at

 first. She knows all the basic commands, sit, down, etc.. but she is

 high energy and very bouncy so you must be patient. She enjoys walks,

 rides and likes to be groomed. She is potty trained and spayed. Bella

 needs lots of exercise or another dog in the house to play with. She

 loves playing with toys and even tries to take them to bed with her.

 She has been to the dog park and has learned how to fetch and retrieve

 this week. Did I mention she is also super smart and a total love bug?

 

 Bella was first bought at a puppy store at a mall and then given up on

 craigslist to another family who could not keep her because their

 granddaughter was allergic. She is being fostered by a family (me)

 that has two other cavaliers in Mar Vista in West Los Angeles.

 She just had a visit to the vet and everything checked out great.

 * * * Doesn't she just sound like the perfect puppy?  She just didn't get the right start, coming from a pet store and being on Craigslist.  Please, please do not try to find homes for your precious pets on Craigslist, it might be fine for used furniture, but not the place for our precious pets. * * *

You can contact Bella's foster mom directly at yourlahomegirl@gmail.com
 

Cavaliers Looking For Homes . . .

It seems as if there is an abundance of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels looking for loving homes.  Right now, good things are coming in pairs.  Here are some Cavaliers that are looking to be placed together.

First up is Dexter & Dillon,  five year old, healthy tri colored neutered brothers.  True Cavaliers in that they are affectionate and loving! Unfortunately I do not have a picture that will post, however I can assure you that they are extremely handsome boys! 

UPDATE on the two boys, it looks like their owner has decided to keep them.  I hope all of the challenges in her life have been solved and that she will be able to continue to provide for them, if anything changes, I am here to help.

Next up are two charming 4 1/2 year old girls.  I believe that they are available through the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue USA, or you can contact pmyers3528@yahoo.com for more information.

And in looking at the webpage for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue USA, it looks like they have a boy that is being fostered in Costa Mesa that has been there for awhile, so it is time that he got a permanent home. Meet Bhodi . . .

And just got word that there is going to be another Cavalier posted later today as soon as I get pictures.  She is a 1 1/2 year old girl named Bella . . .
 

 

We Asked The Universe To Help Rescue Chloe ~

thank you to everyone that answered the call.  This lovely little 1 year old Cavalier girl was at the Orange County Animal Shelter.  Found as a stray, she did not have a collar or any other type of identification.

What you did not see from her picture, was that she had a horrific eye condition and was in desperate need of medical attention that was not available at the shelter.  And to make it even harder, is that while we knew she needed care, it could not be provided until she became the property of the shelter. 

So we waited.  She was finally available on Saturday, which is a day that I could not go and get her.  Fortunately Lynn and Mike were able to be there first thing in the morning to bail her out and take her to Dr Duston at Costa Mesa Animal Hospital.

Dr Duston took excellent care of Chloe and on a Saturday (those of you who have pets, know how hard it is to get treatment on a weekend, much less the Saturday before Easter) he removed her eye and spayed her.

Then today, sight unseen, Chloe's new family picked her up and took her home!

Thank you to those who made Chloe's rescue possible, Lynn, Mike, Dr Duston, Mary. Beverly, Nicole, Nathalie and all the others who sent good thoughts, offers of help and unconditional support, it is all very much appreciated.

The rescue of Chloe could not have happened without each one of you.

 
 

OK Universe ~ I am Sending This Out to You!

This weekend, there are two Cavaliers that are scheduled to come into rescue.  The first one is this 1 year old little girl.  What you don't see from the picture is that she has an eye problem that needs further evaluation from a Veterinarian, so that a decision can be made on how to treat it. 

 * * * Just got an update from the shelter, the eye is not savable.  So she will need to have it removed as soon as we are able to get her * * *  If anyone is interested in making a donation,  please contact www.costamesaanimalhospital.com or email me at dogslovemoe@aol.com, Dr. Duston has agreed to care for this wonderful little girl.

The second Cavalier is a 7 year old boy, who's Mom would like to keep him.  However she is working long hours as a flight attendant and lives in an apartment that does not take pets. 

He is good with cats and other dogs.  And like most Cavaliers hates being outside alone.  He needs medication for his MVD, and to avoid stairs due to his hip dysplasia and arthritis in his back.

We are looking to find a foster home that can take care of him for about 3 months.

So Universe, it is in your hands!

Meet A1011253 - Adopted.

 
This cute fella is currently residing at the Orange County Animal Care Center and will be available for adoption on Sunday the 21st.

He is 2 years old, neutered and very sweet.  It looks like he has a yeast infection, and that is very treatable with a visit to the Vet.  All of the rescue Cavaliers that I have been involved in have had one. 

He also needs a grooming and some good loving.

If you can pick this boy up, please let me know.  I will be in San Diego that day and not able to get to him til Monday. 

What A Difference A Week Makes ~

It was just a week ago today that Odie was at the Harbor Animal Control and Care Center in San Pedro. His new owners picked him up first thing in the morning and were able to beat the deluge of rain that followed.

They took Odie in for his vet check, got him microchipped, a collar with an ID tag. He also got a bath and I am sure lots of other wonderful things.

This weekend they got the results from his blood work and other tests, so he was able to meet his extended family Amber and Nina.  Don't they make a wonderful family?

Everyone is learning about Odie, he is a very smart dog and and loves to play fetch. 

They picked last Tuesday as his Birthday and I  think that is very fitting.  It was the first day of the rest of his life.

Thank you so much for taking Odie into your home and hearts. 

News Flash Quennie Is Adopted - He Will Now Be A Part Of Amber & Nina's Family!

He was just picked up Tuesday morning and is on his way to the Veterinarian.  The initial report is "grungy, but fine".  Will keep you all posted.  Hopefully we will have pictures very soon. 

Here is the first picture of Quennie who is now Odie.  Didn't I tell you he was very handsome?

Quennie Needs Your Help . . .

this 4 year old handsome boy is sitting at Harbor Animal Care and Control Center in San Pedro.  He has been there since January 11th, this is a kill shelter so it is imprtant to get him out. The rain it is making it hard to go and get him, so I need to find someone in that area who can either adopt, foster or transport him to a veterinarian for boarding.  Once there is a break in the rain I can come and get him.

If you would like to know more about Quennie, you can call the Care Center at 1-888-452-7381 refer to his ID Number ID#A1086030.  I can be reached at 714-689-3344 or dogslovemoe@aol.com.
