How Your Donations Help

Donations allow us to cover the many costs associated with rescuing and caring for our dogs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, transportation, veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, dental procedures, microchipping, administrative costs, and ongoing medical needs.

Transportation alone averages $150 per dog to bring them safely to Arizona. On average, a healthy dog with minimal medical needs costs our rescue up to $1,400 from intake through adoption.

Our rescue is unique in that we pay to remove dogs from the Midwestern commercial breeding system and breeder releases, allowing them the opportunity to transition into loving homes. In addition, owner surrenders often require extensive and costly medical, dental, and behavioral care, frequently costing our rescue thousands of dollars per dog.

Cavalier Rescue Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) charitable organization. No one receives a salary—every dollar donated goes directly toward the care and placement of our dogs. Thank you for supporting rescue and for helping us change lives, one Cavalier at a time.
