Leash manners and house breaking are progressing nicely. Young Fuji is a champion eater, and he loves to steal socks. Silly boy! However, Fuji can be anxious around young children. Sleeping in a crate and car rides are not on Fuji’s list of favorite things to do. Frisky Fuji enjoys having fun with his foster brother (a CRF alum). Fuji’s sweet face is kissed with a few freckles.

Cavalier Rescue of Florida saves these sweet pups and will provide love, foster/home environments, food, human companionship, medical care, grooming and spay/neuter services for Cavaliers until a permanent placement in a pre-screened, suitable, permanent home is found that best suit the needs of the dog. About Cavalier Rescue of Florida Please consider supporting Cavalier Rescue of Florida in order to give our dogs a second chance. Your generous gift will give hope to those who have none. Contact us at adoptions@CavRescueFL.org Is Rescue Right For You? The bond you have with a rescue dog is truly special. Once they learn to trust and love you, rescue dogs are known for being fiercely loyal. Rescue pups are not perfect and many experience anxieties from having been abandoned, neglected, abused or suffered in puppy mills. Many times, rescued pups have lacked consistent medical care and arrive with health issues and sickness, further adding their stress and fear. Cavalier Rescue of Florida saves these sweet pups and provides love, home environments, food, socialization, medical care, grooming and spay/neutering for Cavaliers until a “furever” home placement is determined. Our custom adoption process is very thorough and best suits the needs of the dog. Our foster families have Cavaliers of their own, and love and understand the breed. Our fosters learn and evaluate their behavior and habits of the pup before CRF places them with adopters. Patience and love are always a prerequisite for caring and loving a rescue animal; a thorough understanding of this breed is essential in adopting from CRF. Contact us at adoptions@CavRescueFL.org Adoption Application Is Rescuing a Cavalier Right For You? It is very important to do research on this special breed! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, especially rescues, can range in weight and size; not all Cavaliers are small. CRF does not guarantee their genetic history. Cavaliers are extremely people-oriented, social and very affectionate. They need to be with their family. Some people find them to be overly affectionate, so if you are not a person who likes a dog to kiss you on the lips, lick your ear, lie in your lap, lounge on furniture, or share your bed, a Cavalier may not be the dog for you. Their greatest joy is to be with you. CRF does not place our rescued pups in homes where they would be left alone a lot. Ideally a family member or other dogs would be home most of the day. Cavies generally get along well with other dogs and also cats. Keep in mind, small spaniels have fairly strong hunting instincts; so lizards, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters or birds, may not be safe Contact us at adoptions@CavRescueFL.org Adoption Application What Does It Take To Adopt a Cavalier From Us? After doing your research on a Cavalier rescue pup and you live or will travel to the state of Florida, we would love to find the right Cavalier for you. We do custom adoptions based on each pup’s specific needs, best interest and well-being. This is not a first apply, first to adopt process. We assess the dogs needs and requirements match to an applicant's home, lifestyle, etc. Since we have fewer dogs than we do applicants, we encourage you to complete our online Adoption Application and get pre-approved. You will need to provide personal and vet references in the form. Steps of adoption: Submitted application be to the wait listed for review. If you're an ideal candidate for one of our dogs, our Adoptions Placement Team will contact you. Next step, references will be checked and our CRF team will visit your home to meet with you and everyone living there. CRF will also check your home , garage, and yard to make sure you can provide a safe environment for a Cavalier. The adoption fee is paid when you pick up your rescue Cavalier. Adoption fees are based on the health and the age of a rescued Cavalier. The lowest cost of owning a pet is typically their adoption fee. Please consider the long term costs associated with owning a pet--food, ID tags, collars, leashes, veterinary care - including specialists, vaccines, emergency medical costs, professional dog trainers. When you adopt a rescue dog, you are agreeing to care for the pet's well-being for the duration of his or her life. xo Completing an application does not guarantee approval for adoption.

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
