LUCKY STAR
CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL RESCUE
Until there are none....rescue one!

We are all familiar with the puppies in pet stores. Most of these puppies are sold to these stores through wholesalers who purchase their "stock" from people who mass-produce many different breeds of puppies for profit. In an effort to provide happier, healthier lives for the "breeders" who have spent all of theirs so far in filthy cages...and to help limit the chances of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies ending up in pet stores, a fund was created to purchase any breeding age CKCS that may come up in auction sales, which are held throughout the United States.

Our first "rescue" from such a sale was a female named Classic Star. After her purchase at an auction in Oklahoma a young boy came up to pet the dog. He asked what her name was and upon hearing the name Classic Star he said he thought her name should be "Lucky" because she was Lucky that we bought her! We loved the name and it stuck with both the doggie, Lucky, who now lives with a wonderful family in Missouri, and with this organization.

Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue has since rescued over 800 Cavaliers. Became incorporated on January 6, 2000, and were granted the IRS status of a nonprofit charitable organization - 501(C)(3). Our mission is to rescue and protect the breed which we all so dearly love. Donations are always welcomed and will be used to purchase Cavaliers and provide health care. The dogs are given the proper veterinary care and are then placed in foster homes to assess their individual personalities. Once we are certain we understand the needs of a particular dog, we then begin looking for a permanent home that is just right for him/her!

PUPPIES

Please, if you are looking for a Cavalier puppy, we do strongly recommend working with a reputable, responsible breeder, who truly care about CKCS.

Cavalier puppies do come through rescue, especially since CKCS are often a breed exploited by puppy mills. Altough adopting a cavalier puppy may seem ideal and a cheaper way to bring one home, potential adopters should know they are taking a risk. When a young puppy is in need of rescue IT DID NOT COME FROM HEALTHY SOUND PARENTS OR A REPUTABLE BREEDER. If they had they would not be in need of a rescue but would still be with their caring breeder. ALL good breeders take their dogs back, and most have it stated in their contract. The CKCS has many health concerns...and most are genetic.
If you feel you must have a puppy then we strongly suggest looking for a reputable. Not answer an add in the paper, or a pet store. And please also stay clear of the "designer dog" breeders, mixing Cavaliers with other breeds and claiming they are healthier etc.
