Welcome

Registered Charity No 1156641

Established in September 2006, the Chinese Crested Club of Great Britain Rescue initially operated as a club subcommittee with separate funding. After applying for charitable status in October 2013, the organisation appointed four trustees and officially became an independent charity in April 2014.

Our Rescue Philosophy & Process

​At the heart of our mission is a commitment to a true "home-from-home" experience. We do not use kennels. Instead, every dog in our care is welcomed into the private home of an experienced fosterer, living as a cherished member of a family. As a 100% non-profit organisation, our entire team—from our founders to our fosterers—is comprised of unpaid volunteers. This ensures that every donation goes directly toward the welfare of the dogs.

​How We Work

​To ensure the best care, we have appointed dedicated Area Coordinators who manage all enquiries on an individual basis. You can find your local coordinator's details under our Contact Us tab.

• ​Surrendering a Dog: To begin the process, a surrender form can be completed on our website. Please note that because we rely on a small network of private foster homes rather than a facility, we may ask that a dog remains in its current home until a suitable foster space becomes available. While not mandatory, a donation toward running costs is always welcomed when surrendering a dog.

• ​Adoption & Matching: Every potential home is visited by a volunteer to ensure a perfect match based on the dog's unique needs. We ask for a sensible donation from new owners to help cover our ongoing costs, including neutering, which is performed on all dogs unless medical reasons prevent it.

• ​Privacy & Protection: To protect the wellbeing of the dog and the privacy of all parties, there is no direct contact between the previous owners and the new adopters. All communication is handled strictly through our coordinators to prevent any confusion or distress once a dog has settled.

• ​Our Safety Net: Our commitment to our dogs lasts a lifetime. If a dog is unable to settle in its new environment, it MUST be returned to our rescue so we can find a more suitable placement.

• Note: Our priority is always the stability and happiness of the breed we love. By choosing foster-based care, we ensure that every dog is assessed in a real-world environment, making the transition to a forever home as smooth as possible.

Donations are always welcome. Please contact an area coordinator for information on how to donate. If you require any more information please contact us on Tel: 07858 821 957 or email [email protected]
