At the beginning of 2026 we are redirecting our business of breeding Cavalier King Charles spaniels to rescuing them.
Best Life Rescue 
Over the years we have learned many things, and that is that there are many people seeking mature dogs, and or rescues of any age. Especially as our community here in Florida whether it be the large retirement community or young families, Cavaliers among other small dogs are preferred for their lifestyle and personal preferences.
Due to the innumerable “puppy mills”, a side effect of their existence are older dogs that were not purchased as well as Parent dogs that have not been found suitable or have out matured their ability to be “productive”.
Little did I know this when I began simply wanting a beautiful pup for my mother who is recovering from a stroke. I as many had purchased a dog online due to the fact that there were no local breeders. It wasn’t until I was several years into breeding did I start to unravel the whole reality of the business side of dog breeding and dog breeding standards nationwide.
Just as in many things in life, we have to work within a system that is legal that we may not agree with.
Best Life rescue will work within the guidelines of a 501(c)(3). One important thing to note is that our rescues cannot be adopted outside of Florida. Video and in person visits, and events around the state will help us in both receiving in and adopting out. Living in this large retirement community there are times that a senior who has passed has a small dog that will need to be rehomed.
All dogs will be screened, vaccinated etc by our veterinarian here in Leesburg. We will make every effort to obtain any previous medical records or any other personal history to try to give you the best information possible about your new family number.
Adoption fees will be based on age, health, breed, and all operational costs. The prices will vary from as low as $300 to several thousand dollars. Although we are able to accept donations, at least at the beginning, such funds will be used for paying transporters, dog food, medications, utilities.
Understanding the laws of supply and demand also must be taken into consideration. Today if you walk into a local shelter, the majority of the available dogs are large breeds. Large breeds, apparently are not neutered or spayed in the frequency of small dogs. Although it is a problem that seems endless finding these large dogs homes. they are not suitable for everyone.
Complete our short application, providing information, including your past or present veterinarians name and email address. There is a nonrefundable $20 fee that may be applied to the adoption of your chosen dog. That is good for one year from the date of application. Our application will allow you to apply for a specific dog and or a specific breed giving three options.
Once approved, you’ll be contacted immediately and informed of your options of available dogs. Ideally a virtual visit would be conducted as soon as possible and then a 50% deposit applied to your chosen dog. For those with the ability to come to us, we can arrange in person visits, join us at a meet up, etc. Please note that if you do not have a deposit your first choice and so on may already be gone. Please confirm with us the availability before you plan to come.
No, Dog will be held for more than five consecutive days from deposit. Delivery is available at the cost of $1.50 per mile. As stated previously, you’ll be provided with health records, however there are no guarantees. Any unneutered on spayed animal will have a legally required hold of an additional $500 to the cost of the dog that is fully refundable when proof of neutering/spaying is completed.
