Our Mission
WLCCAR's mission is to rescue, re-home and prevent the needless
euthanization of healthy dogs due to overburdening of shelters and humane societies. We provide counseling to owners prior to surrendering, and provide shelters and discontinuing breeders an alternative to euthanization or surrendering their dogs to those same shelters and humane societies. We make a lifetime commitment to all the dogs that come into our care and have an active board of directors who are all committed to making a difference in the lives of these dogs and the people who rescue and adopt them.
By working with dedicated volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians and other community resources and organizations, WLCCAR has the ability to rescue dozens of dogs every year and place them in environments that are suitable for their behavioral, physical and psychological needs.

Our Programs
Rescue and Adoption: We take in Chinese Crested dogs of all ages that have been left in animal shelters, posted on Craigslist, from owners who are no longer able to care for them and even from breeders who are closing down forever. All dogs go through a two week evaluation period, have been fully vetted and have been provided with a loving and safe environment. Potential adopters are required to fill out an application to include veterinary and personal references and are screened to ensure that the dog and his/her new family are a good match.
Where we rescue: Our geographic priority is the southern east coast. We do occasionally assist in other states if it is feasible and have done so in the past. As we have more foster homes come on board we will broaden our reach.
Education: WLCCAR aims to provide breed information to those interested in learning more about the Chinese Crested and continuing to support and educate current Chinese Crested owners. We can assist with the proper care, training and nourishment of the Chinese Crested.
Foster Homes: All of our dogs are housed in foster homes where they are treated like family until adoption. Short
biographies and photographs of the dog are made available on our website, as well as our Facebook page and are updated monthly.
Adoption Procedure: As stated above, all potential adopters must complete an adoption application, to include veterinary and personal references, and are interviewed by the foster home at which time the potential adopter can ask any questions that they may have about the dog that they are interested in. We do all of this to ensure the best match possible as we want to place a dog with his/her forever family. All adopters must agree to a video walkthrough or home visit before finalizing an adoption. We do charge an adoption fee that is age and health appropriate, ranging from $200 to $350. Often times our adoption fees do not cover the amount expended by us, this is where donations become very important.
Responsibility: All of our adoptable dogs are deemed healthy after a veterinary screening, unless otherwise noted. They are up to date on vaccinations (as appropriate for age and health), tested for heartworm disease, de-wormed, spayed/neutered (unless otherwise deemed detrimental to their health), have been micro-chipped, dental cleaning and extractions (if needed) and a diagnostic blood panel as deemed appropriate. All recommended medical treatment will be done prior to being placed unless otherwise agreed upon with the adopter.
