FEBRUARY FUNDRAISER: If you've been thinking of making a donation, now is the time!
As a thank you for donating, you will be entered into a drawing for this spectacular, one-of-a-kind
Crested doll. Hand-sewn by Laura of No Hair's Ark in Australia, she is made of 100% custom-dyed
Australian Merino wool. Each strand of hair is individually sewn in, and she even has a "tattoo" in
her ear indicating how Aussies show that a dog has been spayed/neutered! Each doll takes 10-15
hours to make and retails for $120. She is ready to sit on a couch or shelf with her jointed legs.
For each dollar you donate, one entry will be placed into the drawing for her, so don't miss out on
your chance to bring this beautiful girl into your life!
DONATE HERE:

Our popular pajamas are restocked regularly, but be sure to check back frequently,
as they sell VERY quickly! Check out our store for other clothes and gifts as well.
Every penny goes toward the care of our foster dogs.
The volunteer who sews our pajamas now has an Etsy store with lots more pajamas (featuring
exclusive Crested and Xolo fabrics not available anywhere else) and other fun hairless dog gifts.
Mention Bare Paws when ordering and the shop owner will donate a portion of the proceeds to us!
We are a completely foster home-based rescue, covering the eastern half of the US. As such,
we do not
have a shelter to visit. We adopt only to the eastern US. Please
visit our Adoption pages
for all the information
on our adoption process.

Meet Amy, our Bare Paws Rescue mascot. She is the reason we started the group.
This beautiful girl 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 or online, the best way to put an end to
puppy mills is to stop buying puppies at pet stores and research breeders carefully.
You are not "rescuing" that pet store puppy, you are creating a larger market for the
puppy millers. Please consider rescue. Amy was one of the lucky ones-she got out.
Her days were finally filled with sunshine. Please help others who haven't been so lucky-yet.
Amy sadly went to the Rainbow Bridge on 1/19/16. She enjoyed over 9 years in her
loving forever home and treasured every moment of her new life.

Mission Statement
We are a group of individuals who are dedicated to the rescue, care and re-homing
of Chinese Cresteds and other hairless breeds 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 breeds so that there maybe fewer Chinese Cresteds and other hairless breeds
needing to come into rescue.
