But as with any desirable or popular breed, there are some people who care more about making money than they do about the welfare of the dogs. As we have a very small crew relying on 4 or 5 core volunteers, we may not be able to get back to each applicant individually, however, we will post a notice on our Facebook page once a dog has been rehomed.There are many reputable breeders who care deeply and provide the best for their dogs. It may take 2-3 weeks before a dog is matched and rehomed to their new family.
Once you have applied, the process of reviewing applications, conducting phone interviews and carrying out property checks is time consuming and needs to work around both volunteers’ and applicant’s work and personal commitments. If you are seeking to adopt a dog more quickly and are willing to adopt another breed, then you might like to enquire with other rescue groups. Keep in mind that if you are only after a particular colour, sex or age, it may take a little longer before your dog match comes along. Some people have waited up to 12 months for the right dog to come along, yet others have been able to adopt more quickly. When you are ready, allow yourself at least 15-20 minutes to complete the form and provide us with as much detail as possible. Should you wish to proceed, please complete an Expression of Interest application by clicking the button below.Īs we are working with dogs who have been voluntarily surrendered or otherwise rescued, there is no way to predict when we might have a Cavalier that suits your circumstances and preferences. Prior to applying, we recommend that you take some time to read through the Frequently Asked Questions below. We can not predict when we will have a dog that will suit your particular lifestyle and your preferences, so we appreciate your patience. We receive enquiries almost every day from people who are interested in adopting a Cavalier. Each application is assessed on a case by case basis. Not every applicant is suitable for one of our dogs due to their sometimes complex individual needs. The combination of the dogs’ backgrounds, their surrender, the sensitive nature of the breed and of course, their mental and physical well being are all paramount in our selection process. Only those applicants we feel may be suitable for the dog will proceed to an interview, yard check and meet and greet.Īll Expression of Interest applications will be retained on file for future reference (so that you don’t have to fill out the form each time, as it is a purposely comprehensive questionnaire) HOWEVER it is your responsibility to contact us to put your name forward for consideration stating the date of your previous application, if you see a dog become available for adoption that you are interested in. Our rehoming team will assess each application with a view to matching the dogs’ requirements and individual needs. The full Expression of Interest application must be completed online and submitted to us.
We will seek applications from potential adopters who are interested in each particular dog. Notice of dogs available for adoption will be posted on our Facebook Page when they are ready to be rehomed. Dogs generally only become available for adoption once they have had necessary vet work completed and temperament observations provided by their foster carers.
