Champlain Valley Canine Rescue - We are a small rescue, dependent on volunteers and foster homes. Several times a year, we rescue dogs from the puppy mills in Ohio. Many of these dogs are purebred dogs who have lived their lives in cages. We are forever surprised by their resilience and ability to transition to being happy dogs despite how poorly they have been treated by humans. Throughout the year, we get dogs and cats from the high-kill shelters in the south. CVCR will also accept into rescue any puppy/dog who is living with an owner who can no longer supply care. Regardless of age or medical condition, we will provide them love, food, shelter, human companionship, medical care, and spay-neuter services through local veterinarians until permanent placement is secured into a prescreened, loving home.
Potential owners are screened very thoroughly by the Champlain Valley Canine Rescue. They are required to fill out an application and provide Vet references along with information on the animals living conditions. A volunteer will call the Vet to be sure that potential owners have properly cared for their pets in the past and that all current pets have been spayed or neutered and are up-to-date on vaccinations. Please fill out the application form and email to the address provided. We are a volunteer organization, so please be patient while we process your application.
