Your questions answered about where our rescue pups come from, how you can help donate, resuce, or foster, and much more information on Cavalier Rescue of Florida. Frequently Asked Questions About CRF General FAQ Where Do Our Dogs Come From About Our Application Where do our dogs come from? Most of our dogs come from Florida, but we have, in desperate situations, gone as far as West Virginia to help Cavaliers in need. Florida shelters: Our volunteers comb the websites of Florida shelters looking for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels which we save from being destroyed. (Yes, people do drop them off at shelters when they do not want a dog anymore.) Many times, strays are also a sad reality. CRF also checks craigslist for Cavaliers who need a new home. Puppy Mills: Sadly, some of our dogs come from puppy mill raids. We are contacted by the agency who does the mill busts to take care of the Cavaliers who have been severely neglected. We have also gotten cavaliers who have been dumped at an auction after living their youthful breeding years in horrible puppy mills. Owner Surrenders: We take in dogs from owners who can no longer care for their Cavaliers because of life changes. Some are moving and are not allowed to have pets. For some, job loss has caused financial chaos. One of the saddest reasons Cavaliers come into rescue is they have an elderly owner who is going into a nursing home or has passed away. Vets: Occasionally, we get calls from vets who want us to take in a Cavalier who has been abandoned at his office or dropped off to be euthanized. Breeders: Sometimes breeders will give us their retired Cavaliers to place in loving homes after their breeding years are behind them. How can I adopt a Cavalier? Be ready when they’re ready! The first step is to complete the CRF “adoption application” form. It’s important to read and complete all sections accurately, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through! This is the initial way the Placement Team gets to know you. CRF has a rigorous and specialized program for our custom Cavalier King Charles Spaniels adoptions. We consider ourselves “matchmakers” – the Placement Team matches the dog and their specific needs to a home and family that already offers what that particular dog needs. Though you might be enamored with a certain dog, if you do not have the home or lifestyle that the Cavalier needs, CRF will not match you to that Cavalier. Our mission is to place a Cavalier in a home that meets THEIR needs – we are all about finding that furever, happy place for each dog! It is a very detailed, time-consuming and individualized process. We need to assure a perfect fit for both our pups and our adopter families. This is a big difference between CRF and a shelter, and even some other Rescues. If you are truly interested in adopting, it’s best if you apply to CRF before you even see a Cavalier of interest on our website. If you happen to see a Cavalier that you ARE interested in – who wouldn’t fall in love with their sweet faces – be sure to completely read their bio and understand the implications for you and your lifestyle. If you offer what that specific Cavalier needs for a happy life, then mention their name and your interest in the application. Do you adopt dog to families outside of Florida? We do! The adopting family is required to go to the home where the Cavalier is fostered to pick up their new furbaby. The options are that you drive or fly, but if you fly the Cavalier MUST travel with you in the plane’s cabin. We will NEVER ship a Cavalier or allow one of our Cavaliers to travel in cargo. You don't have to live or be a US citizen to adopt from CRF, but all fees, paperwork and travel requirements are the sole responsibility of the adopter. All requirements must be met prior to taking the dog into your possession. When will I hear back from someone on my application? CRF is an all-volunteer organization. Most of our team have part-time/full-time jobs, families, other obligations, etc. CRF receives hundreds of applications each month and it’s impossible to personally contact each applicant. You will here back from a Placement Team volunteer once we determine a potential match. This is why it’s important to fully complete the application, and to send one in before you see a dog that steals your heart. How long will it be before I can adopt? That’s difficult to answer. Since we customize each adoption--matching a Cavalier according to THEIR needs, we will search through our extensive database of applicants looking for the perfect home for that Cavalier. Some applicants have waited over a year; some have their dreams made true within months. We keep our applications on file for one year. In full transparency, if you have not heard back from us within 30 -60 days, your adoption application most likely did not meet the very exacting standards for our custom adoption protocol for the pups we currently have in rescue at this time. Feel free to apply to our volunteer program and support the many Cavaliers we have in Rescue! https://www.cavrescuefl.org/volunteer-application Where do the dogs come from? CRF is based throughout Florida, we get Cavaliers from across the state through various areas: · Relinquished from prior owners who can no longer care for the dog, for various reasons · Shelters across the state · Newspaper ads and Craig’s List · Breeder releases · Abandonment, as strays · Puppy mill closures and raids · Cavaliers that go to auction are there as castoffs from a puppy mill. They might be no longer “producing” puppies, or are sick, or maybe that puppy mill is closing down. Whatever the reason, CRF has a special donation fund, My Ticket Home, where we pull the funds that enable us to go in and scoop up as many Cavaliers as we can, no matter their condition. Our goal is to stop the inhumane treatment of these dogs and responsibly vet, rehabilitate and place a Cavalier in the best home for each one. My Ticket Home is funded by caring donors, such as you. If you would like to specifically donate to that fund, please click here. What happens to a dog once he/she enters the Rescue? Rescued Cavaliers are immediately placed in a loving foster home. The foster parent is responsible for socializing, ongoing training (when necessary), taking the dog to vet/specialist appointments, and providing a loving interim home. During the time the Cavalier is with their Foster, the foster parent assesses the needs of the Cavalier. It’s important to note that the foster parent has an important role in the adoption process, since they know their rescued Cavalier the best. Where can I go to see a dog I’m interested in adopting? CRF does not have a central shelter facility. Our rescued Cavaliers are in foster homes across the state of Florida, and even beyond – we have Fosters in close by surrounding states. Once a potential adopter is selected for a Cavalier, the adopter is usually encouraged to visit the Cavalier at a planned meet-and-greet at the foster’s home. Do you have a waiting list? Sometimes. Young, Blenheim female pups are the most popular Cavaliers, so we have a waiting list which is influenced by the needs of the individual Cavalier. Otherwise, we do not have formal waiting lists because the Placement Team matches each Cavalier, based on his/her needs, to an adoptive family as a custom adoption. If I volunteer for your Rescue, will I be able to adopt more quickly? We always have a need for more volunteers, but this is NEVER a guarantee. For example, we might have a long-time volunteer that lives in a lovely condo by the beach, without another dog, who might fall in love with the face of a Cavalier that LOVES running around a yard and playing with doggie siblings. The Placement Team would not recommend this match because the Cavalier loves running a yard with doggie friends, neither of which is part of this volunteer’s lifestyle. Why is there an adoption fee? CRF is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and we rely solely on donations and non-paid volunteers for the care of every Cavalier we rescue. Donation fees are far below the costs associated with medical, specialty and dental care, feeding and other related expenses. Your donation goes towards the rescue of TWO Cavaliers – the one you’re adopting, and the next one coming into Rescue. Why are the adoption fees different? The adoption fees are primarily based on age; the higher fees are associated with younger Cavaliers, and they become lower the older the Cavalier. Do you require that I have a fenced in yard? A fenced yard is not always required; it is solely based on the needs of the Cavalier. CRF Rescue Emergency Fund Cavalier Rescue of Florida is constantly rescuing more dogs than last year, often pulling a number of them at once, from neglected puppy mills or deceased owners with little to no notice.

Molly was born to love. All people, other dogs, her two cats, her vets and even the squirrels we fed daily. She was such a happy little girl in spite of her illnesses, surgeries and being given medications around the clock. She was truly loved and will be missed by so many. xo Rest in Beauty, Jasper Rest In Beauty, our most precious Jasper. The sun will always shine on you. xoxo In Loving Memory - Chuck My Chuck passed away on March 2. His love of dogs started many years ago. We have fostered over 500 greyhounds since 1993.

Forever in our hearts. 💕💕 Karen and the guys xo Goodbye Gracie and Shawn We lost our two wonderful Cavies, Gracie & Shawn, within a month of each other. Gracie was a beautiful black and tan carried in her lap by Ingrid Eyler, Smoky Mountain Cavaliers, from Ireland as a puppy. Shawn, a striking ruby Cavalier, was one of Gracie's puppies. He selected Lucille, with a big hug around her neck, when he first met us. They were great travelers and loving companions. We miss them terribly. Rest In Beauty, magnificent Marty Our beautiful Marty was CRF's very first Hart’s Hope pup. In our care for the rest of his days, we couldn’t imagine a worthier pup to start this loving program. Remembering Sweet Lil' Viv We wish we could have spent our lives basking in your sweetness and your boundless energy! What a joy you were--the most vivacious little ten-year-old Cavalier ever known to us. A HUGE spirit in a tiny little body – but you lived so BIG - every moment of your life you lived to the fullest! And though you walked along with us, your adoptive family, for only seven short months, it was a privilege to have you spend what was to be 'the rest of your life' with us. The joy you brought and the memories we made are forever. And the LOVE we have for you is also forever and beyond, our sweet Lil Viv ♥ Until we meet again, sweet soul... xo Remembering Jasmine She Was a Tiny Angel Loved by all who met her. In Loving Memory of Toby Toby was a one-of-a-kind sweet, low-maintenance and chill tricolor who loved taking car rides with his family. The house is so very quiet without his signature snores. He will be forever missed. In Loving Memory of Teddi Bear You changed our world, darling boy. You shared your love equally with us and were happiest when your family were all together. We will love you till the end of time. We miss you sweet Bears. xo Ava was so loved. I said to myself that I'm not going to make her suffer and lose her dignity. With tears in my eyes and her in my arms, I helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I hope there is a Heaven because I want her and our other “kids” to know how much we still love and miss them. xoxoxo Remembering the Angel Gabriel Gabriel’s angelic name was much more than just fitting. He seamlessly worked with Spirit above to perform routine miracles of love. They continue even now, as he’s ever with me. In Loving Memory of Tucker Sweet Tucker was an incredible emotional support Cavalier and true to his nature, wagged his tail until his very last moments. He was truly a one-of-a-kind Cavalier and will forever be in my heart. xo Rest In Paradise, Jimmy Buffet CRF mourns the passing of Jimmy Buffet, not only a wonderful performer, songwriter and human being, but most of all, we cherish his love for Cavaliers! Rest in paradise, Jimmy Buffet, we send so much love to your family and your beach-loving, surfboarding, four-legged parrotheads.

Most people seeking to adopt from our rescue want a young Cavalier—often, the younger, the better. But for many, an older dog is a better choice. Better With Age Most people seeking to adopt from our rescue want a young Cavalier—often, the younger, the better. But for many, an older dog is a better choice. About Senior Dogs Please consider a senior pup… Older dogs are often overlooked by potential adopters at shelters and rescues. However, those who adopt seniors find them to be wonderful companions — they are special, more mellow, better mannered, and quicker to adjust to their new homes than younger pooches. So full of love and joy--they are just grateful to be with you. Whether you have been considering adopting an older pup for a long time or were just recently inspired by the story of one in need, your new, grey-muzzled best friend may be a hop, skip, and a few hugs away. Most shelters and rescue organizations list dogs over seven years of age as "senior." Seniors are special… Although the time you will have with an adopted senior dog may be shorter, your life will be forever enriched and you will have the honor and joy of being part of their final adventures. We’re not crying, you're crying.... Senior Advantage A big advantage to adopting an experienced dog-age 5 or 6 and up—is you are far more likely to be first in line for that dog. Applicants who are open to a seasoned Cavalier often can get matched right away—and for a considerably lower adoption fee. A cavalier’s life span is typically 12- 15 years old and Rescue groups are constantly taking in middle-aged or senior dogs. On those rare occasions when CRF gets rescue pups under a year old, we are deluged with applications. But, many are not prepared for the amount of work a puppy is; puppies are like human babies requiring a lot of time, attention and energy. Benefits of A Senior Dog A mature Cavalier is: Almost always completely housebroken. Infinitely trainable. Yes, you can teach an older dog new tricks! Playful, but easygoing with a lower activity level. Well-mannered in your home. Far less inclined to chew your possessions. Predictable in a good way. More interested in love and companionship than activity. Eager to please and focused on you. Beautiful and dignified. Endearing and easy to love. Old dogs can be a regal sight. Their exuberance settles over the years into a seasoned nobility, their routines become as locked into yours as the quietest and kindest of marriages.” – Gail Caldwell Up

< back to home Camille Donate Adopted! The sun shines brightly on our sweet Camille ... We didn't share many updates on our darling Camille over the summer. Cute-as-a-button Camille is one of our favorite pups and had an adopter waiting in the wings. But sadly, Camille didn’t have a wonderful summer like many of us, she wasn’t frolicking in the yard or splashing on the beach, poor Camille had health setbacks, and her pending adoption was put on hold indefinitely for further vetting and care. Rescued from a shelter, sweet Camille was in rough shape when she arrived and instead of splashing in the pool and nibbling watermelon, she was visiting neurology after suffering several medical crises and seizure episodes. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with cavalier-prone Chiari-like malformation (CM) and syringomyelia (SM). When started on specific medications, she became brighter, more alert, engaged and was following her foster mom around the house. Still an adorable couch potato, Camille is true to her affectionate self, always so sweet and loving. Despite having a “ruff” summer, Camille continues to be enchanting as always. Currently, Camille is doing well (and totally adorable) while we manage her SM, CM and overall wellness. Camille beautifully basks in the sunshine and is ready for forever family AND sweetie-pie Camille is Adoptable again! She is happily enjoying life in her stroller, playing with her fur-siblings and excelling at being the most adorable pup. Her tail swings happily when greeting children, dogs, and cats. We love Camille and as always, we wish for her forever home, which we hope is at the other end of the sunbeams… Let's send her a lot of love and support! xo 🐶 Age: Estimated to be 6 years old. 👍🏻 Weight: 15 lbs. 🐾 Circumstances: Came to CRF via a Humane Society. ❤️ Health: Camille has been vetted.
