Cavachons are small, cheerful dogs with soft, fluffy coats and hearts full of love. They combine the cuddliness of the cavalier King Charles spaniel and the bichon frise. These dogs are great for first-time owners and do especially well in close, family-centered homes.
Cavachons don’t like being alone for long. They crave your attention and will often follow you from room to room. In Hawaii, where the pace of life can be slower and more relaxed, that level of closeness works well.
Adopting instead of buying helps give a dog a second chance at life. It’s a meaningful way to make a difference. Let’s take a look at how to adopt a cavachon in Hawaii now.
Cavachon Adoption in Hawaii
Adopting a cavachon in Hawaii usually starts with filling out a detailed application. Many adoption centers want to know about your living space, your schedule, and your experience with dogs. If you’re renting in Honolulu or Hilo, be prepared, as landlords can be strict. You’ll often need to pay a pet deposit and might lose it when you move due to cleaning fees.
Once approved, next comes the meet-and-greet. Cavachons are usually outgoing, so if they seem shy, give them a little time. In a state where outdoor living is common, it’s good to check if the cavachon’s temperament aligns with your lifestyle. Ask plenty of questions during the adoption process to know exactly what to expect about the cavachon you’re seeing.
Once matched with the right cavachon to adopt, you’ll sign an adoption agreement and pay the necessary adoption fees for your new four-legged best friend. After all these, you will take them to your Hawaii home and begin this next chapter in your life with a cavachon by your side.

How Much Does It Cost to Adopt a Cavachon in Hawaii?Adoption fees for cavachons in Hawaii can range from $250 to $500. This usually includes vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter surgery. Compared to buying from a breeder, which can run over $5,000, it’s a much more affordable way to welcome a cavachon into your life. |
How Should I Train a Cavachon?Cavachons are eager to please, which makes them fun to train. However, they can also be a bit stubborn, especially with potty training. During training, cavachons respond well to praise, treats, and fun games. Avoid harsh corrections, as these dogs are gentle and can become anxious if scolded too much. If you’re short on time or not sure where to start, we recommend exploring our online training programs. If you live near dog-friendly hiking trails or parks like Koko Crater Trail or Pali Lookout, use those as training spots. Cavachons enjoy a change of scenery, and walking outside helps burn off energy. Ensure they don’t overheat in the sun; early mornings or shaded paths are best. |

Find the Right Cavachon in Hawaii for You
Not all cavachons are the same. Some are more laid-back, others have high energy and need miles of walking every day. If you work from home and enjoy relaxing on the couch, a calmer dog can be a great companion. If you’re active and spend time on Oahu’s trails or Big Island hikes, a more energetic pup will keep up with you.
If you live in a condo, it’s worth finding a dog that’s already used to smaller spaces. Hawaii is a beautiful place to raise a cavachon, if you know what to expect. The heat, housing rules, and island lifestyle all play a role. With the right training and patience (and finding the right cavachon to adopt), this loving, playful dog can be your perfect companion under the Hawaiian sun.
