| 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. |
| Welcome to Bare Paws Chinese Crested Rescue. We hope you enjoy your visit and will consider becoming a volunteer or donating to help these wonderful little dogs. Every little bit of your time and/or money will be greatly appreciated by them and us! If you have any questions about the breed, need assistance with training issues or just want more information, please contact us. |
| 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. |
Volunteers and Foster Homes are always needed!

PLEASE PREVENT HEARTWORM DISEASE
Elvis was a beautiful, joyous little dog. He had spent his
entire life, 3 years, in a hoarder's backyard in a little cage.
One day he was lucky enough to get out and was turned
over to our rescue, and his happy new life began. He
learned about toys, which he absolutely loved, and soft
beds. His days were filled with running around exploring
all the wonders of his new life of freedom. You couldn't
find a happier little soul.
Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heartworm disease
from being unprotected for those 3 years. Heartworm
treatment is extremely difficult and painful, but Elvis faced
it like a trooper. Sadly, treatment is also very dangerous,
and Elvis tragically lost his battle against the disease.
Heartworm disease is painful and nearly always fatal, yet it
are all it takes to protect your dog. PLEASE don't let your
dog face the dangers of heartworm-keep them on
heartworm preventative. Elvis's death will not be in vain if
people can learn about the dangers of the disease and
make sure they protect their dogs because of his story.
And that would make Elvis very happy indeed.
