If you are interested in Fostering or Adopting a rescued Cavalier, please   submit a Foster/Adoption Application (see www.gccavalierrescue.org). 

Your answers to the following questions will help us match your interests and skills to a volunteer assignment.

How many and what kind of dogs have you owned?  Do you have any dogs now?  What breed(s)?  Male or female?  How old? 

Have you ever completed an obedience course with a dog?  What level?  Are you involved in any dog sports, dog-assisted therapy, or other activities involving dogs?

Do you have any training or experience that would enable you to test or evaluate a rescued dog's temperament?

If you are willing to check with your local shelter(s) regularly for Cavaliers and to establish a working relationship with shelter staff, please tell us which shelter(s).

Do you feel competent to identify a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, that is, to determine whether a stray dog is a Cavalier as opposed to a Cavalier-mix or other breed?

Would you be willing to transport a rescued dog?  If so, how far would you be willing to travel (each way)?  Is your vehicle large enough to accommodate a Cavalier-size crate (approx. 18 x 24)?   

   

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving mistreatment of animals?  Have you ever been denied privileges by the American Kennel Club,  Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club USA, or any other all-breed or breed-specific registry club?  If so, explain.

Some volunteer assistance requires specialized skills, such as Internet access/savvy computer/word processing, bookkeeping/tax work, or fundraising/marketing experience.  What skills would you like to donate?
