Cairn Rescue USA We are incorporated in New York, but thanks to the internet we are able to rescue Cairns nationwide.

Cairn Rescue USA is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing Cairn Terriers dogs like Toto from the WOZ. Cairn Rescue USA is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing Cairn Terriers dogs like Toto from the Wizard of Oz. Our rescue Cairns come from animal shelters and

humane societies; others are released to us by their owners due to changes in family circumstances, the birth of a human child, having to move, divorce. death, illness, financial distress or to the owners realizing that a Cairn is not a good match for them; still others come from puppy mills where they have spent their lives in small wire cages producing the cute puppies that petstores sell. We do not have a shelter or similar facility and depend on a network of volunteers who under our officers guidence rehabilitate our rescue Cairns in their homes. Our rescue Cairns are spayed/neutered, tested and if necessary, treated, for heartworm and other parasites, and brought up-to-date on their vaccines prior to their placement in loving forever homes. To learn more about how you too can become a foster home, to adopt one of our wonderful dogs or to donate to help us continue helping these wonderful dogs, please visit our website at www.CairnRescueUSA.com

Here’s a warm, honest, adoption-friendly bio for Coco in GA:

Meet Coco and she is ready for her new furever home!

Coco is a 5-year-old Cairn Terrier with all the scruffy charm and big personality you’d expect from the breed. She’s loyal, bright, and deeply devoted to “her people.” Once she bonds with you, she’ll follow you anywhere and proudly claim you as her own.

Coco can coexist with one calm, respectful dog in the home, but she prefers a quieter pack and can be a bit territorial when it comes to her humans. She’s not aggressive—she just takes her job of “family protector” seriously and appreciates clear boundaries and structure.

She loves walks, cozy naps, and being near the people she trusts. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart, who will be your funny little shadow and your loyal companion, Coco might be the perfect match.

Coco is ready for a home that understands her Terrier spirit and will give her the guidance—and love—she thrives on.

Coco has a high prey drive, so a no cat home is preferred. Also, because she is stubborn and queen, she doesn’t appreciate things being pulled out of her mouth, so no kids under 15.

She's current on vaccines and spayed. Are you ready for this little girl? If so, go to the application and complete it soon!

UPDATE: WE HAVE A FOSTER HOME. THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO REACHED OUT TO ME

URGENT - CHICAGO AREA FOSTER HOME NEEDED ASAP. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENTING

Seeking a (preferably experienced) Chicago area foster home for a little 2-Year-Old Westie boy who is currently undergoing treatment for Lepto. His owners can not afford the bloodtests and rechecks associated with his care. Here is ALL we know....

* He has been an only dog so we don't know how he is with other dogs. If you have another dog, be prepared to keep separate and make "smart" introductions over an extended period of time. Let's assume he does not get along with cats.

* He has lived with four children and loves kids.

* He is smart and affectionate.

* He is not neutered and once lepto treatment is completed he will be neutered at the rescue's expense.

* Please don't request transport to other parts of the country. You need to be within driving distance of Chicago and be prepared to go the distance.

* If you haven't previously fostered for--or adopted from-- Cairn Rescue USA then you'll need to fill out a foster home application ASAP. You will find it at: https://cairnrescueusa.com/foster-home-application/
If you've fostered for us or adopted from us, simply comment below of your interest.

Finally....we know he's cute. :-) In fact, he's adorable! But please comment ONLY if you have a willingness to foster.

"Dazy" is an energetic and healthy 12-year-old purebred Cairn Terrier (without papers). Her family purchased her from a breeder when she was a puppy and they decided to surrender her to CRUSA instead of taking her on a move to a new city with them. She came to live in a foster home in Wisconsin and has now been there for several weeks and her personality has really come out. She is bossy and likes to play-fight over her toys but there is no “bite” in her “bark”, as they say. She gets along great with her 3 foster brothers and she sleeps right next to “Mom’s” side of the bed on her pillow. She came to rescue a bit overweight, but through frequent dog park visits and less cheese at bedtime, she is losing weight already which is making her much more mobile. We have identified no medical issues, she is good in the bath, she likes to sit with her people. She is 100% potty trained and is not destructive. She listens well and stays with us when off-leash at the fenced dog park and she is a real sweetheart. Still a dignified Terrier at heart, she is a great companion dog and would make someone a lovely friend. She deserves to spend the rest of her days as the pampered queen she is accustomed to.
Please note that it will be the responsibility of the adopting family to arrange transportation to the suburban Milwaukee area to pick up Dazy.
To fill out an application to adopt Dazy, please go to our website: https://cairnrescueusa.com/adoption-application/

CALL FOR FOSTER HOME: "Sugar" is a 5 yr old Cairn/Chihuahua mix in Chicago whose family is moving out of the country on October 15th. She is friendly, housebroken, good with children and UTD on vaccinations. She is good with other dogs. Afraid of scooters, bicycles, vehicles (like many terriers). She'll need some help with crate training. This sweet little girl needs your help! Please fill out our foster home application at https://cairnrescueusa.com/foster-home-application/ or contact our Midwest Placement Director at [email protected]. You'll receive a prompt response. If you've previously fostered for-- or adopted from--Cairn Rescue USA-- an application is not necessary. Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: Sugar has found her foster home! We will keep you abreast of her progress and when she is available for adoption.
