Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue

ADOPTION / FOSTER APPLICATION

Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue (GCCR) is a not for profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of our breed and is run strictly from donations received from the public. No person is ever paid for his/her efforts expended as part of the GCCR.

The GCCR expects that each adopting family will give the GCCR an adoption fee to be applied to
boarding and veterinary expenses incurred by the organization. If you are adopting, your Cavalier will arrive spayed or neutered (if not medically prohibitive) and up to date on shots. Any known health needs of the Cavalier will be discussed with its foster family and adopting family at the time of placement.

GCCR asks for detailed information with the intent to match each rescued Cavalier with the best home possible.  The GCCR requires references from foster and adopting families. These may include family members not living with you, friends, business associates, etc.  We ask for two personal references plus one from your veterinarian, if you have one (if you do not have a veterinarian, so indicate).

Note:  Field help is given below the field, where appropriated.
