2016 Cavalier Alliance Ornaments

The 2016 Cavalier Alliance ornament is now available for pre-order! This year our ornament was again designed by the talented Lauren Hamelin, and each one will be custom made for us.

This year’s ornament features a sweet cavalier with a matte gold bow, dark red ribbon and a small gold heart charm. Each ornament is approximately 3″ high and almost 2″ wide.

The ordering period will close soon to allow for plenty of time in manufacturing and shipping.

A New Start for Lulu

We are so pleased to announce that Lulu was recently adopted. For those of you following this story, she’s recovered well from her surgeries and is just the sweetest gal. In the video below you can see how her right ear has healed and just how happy she is is.

We wish she and her new family many years of happiness together. Thanks again for all the care by her foster family and all the donors who made this happy ending possible!

Honey Sees Her Buddies

We are so excited to share this update with you! HONEY CAN SEE!

Honey, the sweet blenheim with severe cataracts, came to the Cavalier Alliance several weeks ago. She struggled with pneumonia, severe dental disease, and was basically frozen in place due to her blindness. Her cataracts were almost 1/2″ thick.

In this early photo you can see the cataracts on her eyes:

And just look at the post-surgical difference:

And the best part of all? After two days of hospitalization, she returns to her foster home and sees her four-legged buddies for the very first time. Her tail hasn’t stopped wagging! Click on the line below to see the short video:

Honey Sees Her Buddies

Many many thanks to Deb Glottman, Honey’s foster mom, the amazing team at Vermont Veterinary Eye Care including surgeon Sarah Stone Hoy and techs Angi and Ashlie, and all all of our wonderful supporters and donors who made sight possible for this deserving Cavalier.

Welcome Lucy & Zoey

These two sweet pups came to the Cavalier Alliance as a transfer from another group for specialist care. Their initial vet did a great job of getting them stabilized and we will continue that care. Lucy has ulcers on her right eye that need reviewed by a specialist and Zoey will need help with a back leg that keeps slipping out of place.

Duncan Recovers from Cushing’s Disease

We thought you all might enjoying seeing the before & after this boy’s transformation while in foster care. The top picture was taken when he first came into foster care and the outdoor ones were taken last week. His skin infection (a typical complication of untreated Cushing’s disease) has resolved and his fur is growing back. Many thanks to his foster mom for his care and all of you who donated and supported our fundraisers so we could provide the veterinary care and surgeries he needed.
