Please view our current listing available to dogs for adoption. Once you find a dog you’re interested in adopting, submit the Adoption Application. A member of our team will review your application and contact you directly to set up a time to discuss, in order to determine fit, as well as the next steps. If approved, we’ll provide you with our China Rescue Dogs Adoption Agreement, which will be reviewed, approved/signed by us and forwarded back for your records.
The fact that you're thinking about adopting one of our incredible survivors means you're a responsible and caring person. Before you embark on this journey, take some time to consider the following questions: decision to bring a furry friend into your life, take a moment to think over these questions:
All of our adopters must agree to provide all necessary veterinary care, including vaccinations, to include a yearly preventative for heartworm, fleas and ticks, as well as any other necessary treatments to ensure the dog’s health, as advised by their veterinarian.
Additionally, the adopter must agree to never relinquish ownership of the dog without the consent of China Rescue Dogs (CRD). If the adopter relinquishes custody, the dog must immediately be returned to CRD.
We never say no to any dog – mixed breeds, banned breeds, disabled dogs and seniors. We try to rescue them all. Unfortunately, we cannot do that without the public’s continued support. Please consider donating today, so can continue our rescue efforts and save these beautiful souls from a horrific life and brutal slaughter.
It is shocking and heart wrenching how dogs are transported and sold within the Chinese meat trade. The dogs are boiled alive, beaten to death, burned to death -- all to increase the amount of adrenaline in their body so their meat tastes better. They eat Golden Retriever’s because they believe it brings them wisdom. They eat black labs (and black dogs) because they believe it keeps evil spirits away. They eat all kinds of dogs at the Yulin Dog Meat Festival on the summer solstice because they believe it keeps them cooler during the hot summer months. The stories are terrible and endless. The International Humane Society estimates that 10 to 20 million dogs are slaughtered in China, every year - this is why we do what we do! To be a voice for the voiceless, and save as many as we can, with your help.
We hope that through our rescue efforts, we also shine a light on the dog meat trade in China and other countries and, thereby, encourage others to advocate for the end of the dog meat trade and speak up for those who have no voice.
