                                                                          OUR ORGANIZATION

Chesapeake Rescue of WI is a group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing Chesapeake Retrievers and finding them loving forever homes. We rescue adoptable purebred or mixed Chesapeake Retrievers from shelters, strays, and
from owners who can no longer care for their dogs. We are staunch promoters of spaying and neutering, and no dog is placed by our organization without this being done before placement.
We also want to educate potential adopters about the breed to make sure a Chesapeake is the right dog for their family.

RESCUE PROCESS

We are not a shelter or a kennel-all of our dogs are in foster homes, where they are evaluated for temperament and training needs, and are given proper medical attention. We usually keep a dog for at least 2 -3 weeks to give us
the best knowledge of their needs.

Owners wanting to surrender their dog will be asked to have them spayed or neutered and brought up to date on their vaccinations. Owners must also sign a form giving us all rights to the dog at time of surrender, as well as a release to obtain all of the dog's medical files.

ADOPTION PROCESS

Adopters will be asked to fill out an application. We will then do a phone interview and set up a home visit. From there we will begin the process of matching a dog to the needs of that particular family. After a successful
match is found, adopter will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee, which will cover the spay or neuter, updating all vaccinations and HW testing and shelter release fee, if applicable.
 
"Our organization does not adopt to homes with electric underground fencing."
 
"Aggressive, highly excitable dogs or dogs with a high prey drive  (Chessies), may be so intent on chasing after a squirrel or another dog that they bolt right through the shock zone, and, once on the other side and possibly trying to return home are reluctant to cross back over the boundary.
 
There is also the possibility of another dog entering and attacking your dog. Add to that scenario a child wandering into the yard during this attack.  And there is also no protection  if someone wants to take your dog from your yard while it is unattended."  Many dogs are being taken for fighting bait, as well as sold to medical research.

We are always in need of Chesapeake knowledgeable volunteers who would like to join our group. Some ways to help would be to foster, do home visits, do transports, fund raising, and of course we welcome any kind contributions to help us in our efforts. Gifts may be sent to the address below.
