![]() ![]() Many of the rescue dogs are emotionally damaged or have come from breeders so need to learn the most basic things such as living in a home rather than a kennel. Is it fair to blame the rescue centres for this?Įxpectations of late seem to be that taking on a rescue dog will be the same as the experience had with a previous dog that was purchased as a puppy. Clearly that leaves 199 unsuccessful applicants. If we do have a younger dog available for adoption that doesn’t have known health problems, then we can receive 200 applications. When we post their biographies to make them available for adoption we rarely receive a single suitable application because they are a lot to take on. Generally speaking, they are older dogs with multiple, complex health problems and/or serious behavioural problems. We have posted a few times already about the type of Cavaliers that have been surrendered into rescue since the start of the pandemic. Some are even blaming rescue centres for being pushed into buying a puppy from an abhorrent breeder. We have also noticed rescue centres, including ours, being berated on social media as they do not have a rescue dog available for them to adopt. Most UK rescues currently have less dogs than before the pandemic and have many less dogs available than there are adoption enquiries. Breeders are hanging on to their dogs so that they can produce extra litters. We rarely have young, healthy Cavaliers in rescue.ĭue to the substantial rise in the cost of purchasing a Cavalier puppy/younger dog we believe that many are being sold on rather than being relinquished into rescue centres. The vast majority of enquires are from members of the public wanting young, healthy Cavaliers. The number has lessened but rises around the end of each month coinciding with pay day. ![]() If you are interested in adopting Claire, please complete an adoption application and email with any questions.We have had a lot of adoption enquiries recently, well really since the pandemic began. My foster family tells me I am just perfect, they would keep me in a heartbeat, but that would mean they would not be able to foster other dogs in need so instead they are helping me find my perfect family and they can continue to help others. My foster brothers and sisters told me that if I went outside to go potty that that would make mommy happy.I usually try to go outside with my brothers and sisters but now I'm getting so brave I'll even go out by myself.My foster mommy is so proud of me!! My foster mom says that I am now housebroken and that I only ever had two accidents when I first came. I'm an eight year old girl but I look and act much younger. I'm up-to-date on all my vaccines and I was spayed and had a dental. Now my tail never stops wagging and my eyes follow my foster mommy all around to make sure shesees me and sees my happy tail wagging!! One of those Micro pigs just had babies and I love them too!! I give all the animals kisses and I try to make sure everyone is ok. My foster mom says I have been the perfect guest in my foster home and that I get along well with everyone! My Foster mom has three other dogs, bunny rabbits and something called a Micro pig. I never knew love could be so wonderful!!!Īt night time when I think it's getting close to bed time I start running up the steps and look at my foster mom asking her if its time to go to bed cause now I know what it's like to sleep in a big comfy bed with my foster parents and my new cavalier friends.I never dreamed that life could be so good to me!! ![]() ![]() My Foster mom put a blanket on there for me to lay on but there is nothing better then my foster mom sitting on the couch with me so I can snuggle up with her. My foster mom told me, the whole ride home, that my life was going to be wonderful from now on and I would learn so many new things!!īoy, was she right!!! It took me a couple days to learn to go up and down the steps and the height of the couch and my foster moms bed was at a very scary height.But, now I can't keep myself off the couch. I didn't get to socialize and was somewhat shy when my foster mom came and got me. Hi, my name is Claire! I was rescued from a puppy mill situation, where they made me have puppies year after year and kept me in a rabbit cage. ![]()
