Information Shelters,Release,Mentoring

For the same reasons as any dog might need rescue. Families sometimes need to re-home their Cavaliers because of financial concerns, human health problems, lack of time to care for their dogs, etc., etc. Animal control officers sometimes find Cavaliers as strays or under conditions of neglect, as with hoarders or disreputable breeders. Many puppy mills have been pumping out and selling Cavalier puppies for years, and now in tough economic times they are discarding/killing their breeders.

 

Likely you’re doing a great job, and are under very difficult demands. GCCR is simply here to help. If you aren’t sure that a dog is a Cavalier, call us; we’ll come over and give you an opinion. If you come upon a Cavalier that is difficult to place, because of age, illness, behavior, or whatever…. call us. If you release a Cavalier to us we will have it examined for genetic illnesses that plague the breed, get appropriate care and treatment for medical needs, work with any behavior problems in foster homes, and find a forever home that understands what might lie ahead in loving and helping a needy Cavalier.

 

Yes, to a maximum of $150, or GCCR can reimburse documented, reasonable veterinary costs.

 

Sorry, we cannot. Our Bylaws require that we take only purebreds.

GCCR is a local breed rescue; our volunteers, fosters, and adopters all live in the greater Chicago area, which means we’re near your location. We have over 100 volunteers and fosters who are knowledgeable about and committed to helping the breed. If you call someone who can’t respond to your requests, someone else will.
