Rescue & Rehoming
Rescue Cavaliers
Our rescued Cavaliers are very special to us. For various reasons, such as divorce, illness, or relocation, owners may be required to give up their beloved Cavaliers. These companions may come from a home with children, from Seniors, a single person, or a home with cats, or other dogs. The Mandate of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of B.C. is to place these dogs into a home similar to their previous home.
The Club is registered with the SPCA and many pounds. Should a purebred Cavalier be unfortunate enough to end up in one of these facilities, we will perform all necessary veterinary checks, including spaying and neutering. We will then evaluate the personality before placing the dog with its new family. |
Rehoming
Breeders may on occasion, have Cavaliers which are either past their breeding ages or older puppies which were retained as potential show dogs but for one reason or another, did not mature into a promising hopeful. These Cavaliers require rehoming. They are healthy dogs who just need people to love.
The breeder will be able to supply you with all the necessary health information, personality, etc. Rehomed Cavaliers will be more expensive than ‘rescue’ Cavaliers.

How to adoptFortunately, the club has not received any Cavaliers for rehoming for many years, so right now we will not be accepting any applications to adopt. This is great news for Cavaliers, as clearly their owners love them very much!
We encourage you to reach out to breeders for a puppy or a retired adult if you are interested in obtaining a Cavalier. Beware of buying puppies produced by puppy mills, "backyard breeders" and breeders offering many breeds. These businesses produce a large number of dogs so human contact is severely limited. The resulting puppies are not socialized. Puppy mills are often the source of dogs sold through pet shops. They usually do not screen for health problems and will be unable to produce health clearances written by board-certified specialists (cardiologists, ophthalmologists and neurologists) for their breeding stock. Always visit the breeder before buying the puppy. Make sure the mother is on the premises and available for you to see. Confirm the Canadian Kennel Club registration of the parents and the puppy you are about to purchase. It is against the law for a breeder to sell an unregistered dog as purebred or to offer one at a lower price without registration papers. In addition, "breeders" who breed Cavaliers and mixed-breed dogs such as Cavapoos or Beagliers are NEVER reputable breeders.
