Foster Application and Questionnaire

If you are interested in fostering for the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club of Greater San Diego, please fill out the foster application and contact the Rescue Chairperson at ckcssandiegorescue@yahool.com 

Strong preference is given to people who already have or have had a Cavalier, and the process of becoming a volunteer includes an application, vet reference, discussion with the regional chairperson, and a home visit. 

A key role in volunteering is fostering.  You don’t have to be a dog expert to foster, but you do have to have time and love to give, and to be able to balance your heart and head. Parting with the foster dog can be difficult, but is a necessary part of volunteering. While foster families do occasionally adopt their foster dog, this isn't the purpose of volunteering, and some dogs tend to be older or special needs dogs for whom placement outside of the rescue team is more difficult.

The foster family’s role is to bring the Cavalier into their home, get needed medical care completed, assess the dog to determine the best type of new family for the foster Cavalier, and work with the regional representatives to place the Cavalier into a loving and appropriate new family. This work isn’t always easy, but is almost always tremendously rewarding.
