| Bare Paws Rescue |

| Mission Statement We are a group of individuals who are dedicated to the rescue, care and re-homing of Chinese Cresteds in need. We provide compassionate aid, veterinary care and loving temporary homes while working on finding the ideal permanent situation for each dog. We also work to educate the public about the breed so that there may be fewer Chinese Cresteds needing to come into rescue. |

| ABOUT PUPPY MILLS This is Amy, a sweet little Chinese Crested girl who spent many years in a puppy mill, producing repeated litters of puppies. She lived in a little cage in a barn with no sunlight, no exercise, and, saddest of all, no affection or love. Fortunately, she was one of the lucky ones who was rescued from her situation. But there are still millions of dogs living hopeless lives in puppy mills. Since the majority of mills sell their puppies to pet stores, the best way to put an end to puppy mills is to stop buying puppies at pet stores. You are not "rescuing" that puppy, you are creating a larger market for the puppy millers. Please consider rescue and help bring an end to the deplorable puppy mill trade. Amy was one of the lucky ones-she got out. Her days are now filled with sunshine. Please help others who haven't been so lucky-yet. |
