• The non-refundable adoption fee is currently £525. This only partially covers any veterinary treatment, food, transportation, etc., the dogs have received while in rescue. Cavaliers have a multitude of health problems, and most that come to rescue need extensive veterinary treatment.
• All of our dogs will be vaccinated, microchipped, neutered/spayed, have flea treatment and be wormed before being rehomed (unless there is a medical reason why this cannot take place). They will also receive any other necessary veterinary care, including dentals, heart scans, etc.
• All adopter’s resident dogs must be neutered unless there is a medical reason why this cannot be carried out, we will require a letter from the applicant’s vet if this is the case.
• Once your application form has been completed and returned, you will receive an email to inform you that we have received your application. If you do not receive this email, please contact us at [email protected]. Unfortunately, we cannot inform every unsuccessful candidate.
• If your home fits the dog’s needs then you will be contacted by the application team. A telephone interview with the adoption team will take place if the dog is a suitable match.
• A home check prior to meeting the dog will apply—this must be undertaken within 3 days of your telephone interview. You may also be required to give references, e.g., from your veterinarian. If you work from home, we require a copy of your employment contract stating that you are working from home permanently.
• If your home check is successful, you will then be offered the opportunity to meet the dog with a view to adopting. You and all family members will need to be present for the meet-and-greet, which will take place at the foster home. Meet-and-greets must take place no longer than five days from the home check.
• We will not hold dogs due to holidays or illness etc. Please do not submit an application form until you are ready to commit and have discussed it with all family members.
• Bliss Cavalier Rescue will always be on hand to support you with any questions you may have going forward.
• Our procedures are carried out to ensure the safety and well-being of every rescued and rehomed dog. We will always consider individual circumstances and are more than happy to discuss any concerns you have via email.
• Please do not telephone the rescue regarding applications. We are more than happy to discuss anything via email.
