Why Support Breed Rescue?

Almost all of the Poodles that come into rescue programs require veterinary care, whether it is for spay and neuter or dental care or to repair broken limbs. Rescued Poodles often need transportation from one location to another to remove them from a shelter or to move them to a new home. It is the rare rescued Poodle that requires no financial support. Every donation to PCARF contributes to the funds necessary to ensure veterinary care and assist with transporting rescued dogs to foster care or loving homes. Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation, Inc. is a 501(C)(3) not-for profit organization made up entirely of volunteers. All donations go directly to the care of needy Poodles and are tax deductible.

The Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation

Established in 1932, Poodle Club of America is one of the oldest breed clubs registered with the AKC. Since its inception, Poodle Club of America has always rescued poodles through their Affiliate clubs. To become an Affiliate Club and to remain an Affiliate club, PCA requires the Club to have a Rescue Chairman. In addition, PCA has a National Chairman overseeing the all the rescue groups. In 2006, PCA decided to make Rescue its own entity and so The Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation, Inc., a 501 (C)(3) corporation was established. Since that time, 17 new rescue groups have been added to the family of already established groups and more are being added each month. We work by networking with all rescue groups to save each and every poodle that we can. PCA Rescue works closely with shelters, Humane Societies and all-breed rescue groups throughout the country.

How does Poodle Rescue work?

Reputable rescue organizations spend time and money on the dogs taken into their programs. Poodles that are rescued are given a full veterinary exam, updated immunizations and are spayed or neutered. The dogs are screened for temperament issues. The dogs are often placed in foster homes for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to evaluate their health and temperament in order to make the best placement possible. Reputable rescue organizations always take back a dog they have placed if the arrangement does not work.

The Importance of Breed Rescue

Dogs are not responsible for their own existence. Dogs exist as a result of either human intervention (planned breeding) or human neglect (accidental breeding.) Many members of this rescue organization are Poodle breeders and feel very strongly that it is their responsibility to help save the lives of abandoned and unwanted Poodles whenever possible. Unfortunately, not everyone who breeds Poodles feels the same way, so PCARF steps in to pick up the pieces of other people's failures. While we respect the good work done by the many all-breed rescue organizations that exist, we believe that as Poodle breeders, we can best care for and find homes for our breed. Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation's mission is to rescue and re-home our Poodles.
