Rescue

Chesapeake Kennel Club is an all breed dog club. As such, it does not provide rescue services for any one particular breed of dog.

Many of the club's members participate in rescue programs for their particular breed of dog. Members of our club are very sensitive to the proper placement of dogs into homes that have the right environment for their breed. We understand that sometimes a dog doesn't work out in a home for many different reasons.

If you have a purebred dog that you believe needs to be placed in another home, we recommend that you first attempt to contact the Breed Rescue Group in your area for your particular breed or contact a National Rescue Group. A list of National Breed Rescue Groups can be found on the AKC website by clicking here. They can refer you to a local contact.

If you cannot find a contact by the above means, Chesapeake Kennel Club will be glad to assist you in finding the local contact for your breed. You can email to the club rescue coordinator by clicking here and explain your situation.

If your dog is not a purebreed, we recommend that you contact one of the many animal rescue organizations that exist for that purpose.
