In
August 2013 Cavalier Rescue responded to a request from a newly founded group
'Cavaliers In Need' based in Northern Ireland whose local council had asked for
help in the rescue of 26 cavaliers from various backgrounds living in
horrendous conditions. Cavalier rescue provided £1500 towards mounting
veterinary bills. Further information from

Over the
last 30+ years Cavalier Rescue has helped re home over 3000 Cavaliers, we are
often the first point of contact by local Dog Wardens and have considerable
success with re homing older adult Cavaliers.
The funds
to enable this to happen were built up over the years by Companion Dog shows
(formerly exemption shows), Raffles and a stand at Crufts with the infamous tea
set raffle.
On
average there are 60 to 70 people looking to help re-home a cavalier at any one
time, many of them who have had dogs from us in the past. Luckily there are
always more people willing to help than dogs available. We also assist Social
Services, often when an elderly person needs respite care there is no one to
look after their Cavalier. Our charity will take on that responsibility until
such times as the dog can be returned to it's owner or a decision is made that
the Cavalier needs a new home.
In June
2004 we became a charity and our number is 1104112 We have had a lot of
requests from people asking how to leave some money to the rescue in their
wills. At the moment we are working on bequest forms to be posted with their
solicitors but if you need any information please contact us.
Things
have been going along quite smoothly on the rescue front, and liaison between
us and the other rescue services is going well. Don't forget help is only a
phone call away or just the click of a mouse. Please don't hesitate. That is
what we are here for
