We seek applications for and provide screening of prospective adoptive homes and educate the public about responsible Terrier care and ownership.”
What we do. Who we Help: www.cairnrescue.com for much information on what we do. Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network is a national, non-profit 501c3 rescue organization. Dogs are home-fostered, We NEED foster homes, and volunteers that can help us transport, foster and provide other tasks in communication to support our goals of rescue and rehoming Terrier dogs in need. There are links on the website for information and to volunteer. CPCRN has rescued/rehomed almost 6,000 dogs in just over 20 years of effort; but we cannot do what we do without volunteers. Is that you? Will you help?

We cannot provide that if we don’t have the foster home, or the dollars for the care. Sometimes we are the last chance for that dog. Would you be willing to help??
How we use your Monetary Donations: Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network is all volunteer, no paid personnel at all! All funds are for the care of the dogs we take into the Rescue, for vetting: all vaccinations, spays/neuters, bloodwork, heartworm tests, fecals checking for internal parasites, dentals, sometimes emergency care/surgery; heartworm preventatives, flea/tick preventatives, food and appropriate medications when needed.
