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!
