- 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

Xena went to vet this morning. Her bloodwork, etc was $201.00. Please donate and thank you!
Meet Miss Xena, around 8 yrs old, in Richmond KY. Miss Xena has to go to the vet tomorrow trying to figure out if she has IBS and she going to need a dental. Will you please support Xena's vetting by donating toward her vet care? Or go to our PayPal account: https://cairnrescueusa.com/donate/
Xena is sweet as pie. Gets along with the fosters in the house too. She will not be available for adoption just yet.

MISSOURI/ILLINOIS PEOPLE...
Need to move a Cairn from New London, Missouri to Springfield, Illinois. Day negotiable but would like to get done as soon as possible

Congratulations to two families who welcomed CRUSA terriers into their lives this past week.
Cara O'Rourke of Savannah GA flew to Arizona to adopt Bella, a little owner surrendered Westie. The two girls had lots of time to get acquainted on the loooong car ride home.
And just yesterday, Patty Jay and her hubby Jeff made the trek from their home in Missouri to Sycamore, Illinois, to finalize their adoption of Bridget.
Bridget and a 15-year-old Cairn were both breeders in a Missouri kennel and when the kennel owner died, his wife took the dogs to animal control. Luckily a local rescue stepped in and thanks to the intervention of our rescue friend Holly Crotty, both dogs eventually made their way to CRUSA.
A big thanks to foster moms Sue Stoughton and Becky Spooner...to Carolyn McComb and Mary Noll for expediting the reference checks and home inspections...to Valerie Kleine for handling the intake of all three dogs... and to those who assisted with transportation.

CAIRN FRIENDS...PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE (EMPHASIS ON "ENTIRE") POST BEFORE FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION OR ASKING QUESTIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO DRIVE TO PICK UP THE DOG THEN HE WOULD NOT BE A GOOD MATCH FOR YOU. THANKS! WE APPRECIATE IT.
MIKEY FROM CAIRN RESCUE USA IS LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME - FOSTERED IN SPRINGFIELD, IL.
Mikey (AKA Mickey) joined the CRUSA family on May 26, 2024. This handsome 4-year-old purebred Cairn was surrendered by a breeder in Missouri who was downsizing. Mikey is ready for adoption, and he has a few “requirements” he wants to tell you about. But first he needs to tell everyone how wonderful he is, hehe!
Says Mikey, “Here’s what makes me incredibly perfect - and it must be understood, I am NOT a couch potato. I will sit on the couch next to you if you insist but I’d rather that we both share some adventures like hiking, or walking briskly ‘round the neighborhood or playing ball in the backyard. I simply love water, and I love to run (fenced in yard works best for active guys like me but I also want lots of leashed walks). I have my own kiddie (er, doggie) pool, and I go crazy with excitement when someone throws a ball for me or fills my pool. Foster Mom also suggests agility or barn hunt for a high energy fella like me.
I love all animals and kids over 7. No toddlers, please. Show some respect!
My foster mom says I won’t poo in the house, but just to err on the safe side, she takes me out every 2-3 hours, and I wear a belly band when inside.
I have a nice hearty appetite, and I love my frozen Kong with peanut butter and yogurt. What a treat for a good boy like me! Oh, and I sleep all night and take an afternoon nap in a crate without a p*ep.
I’m fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, tutored (er, do I mean neutered?) and I’ve had a dental. I have gone to doggie daycare and am thrilled by the canine companionship and extra playtime that gives me. I know the sit command but am just learning about leased walks and how to potty while on leash. I am a fast learner, and I would love to finish up my training in a forever home!
In summary, I would really thrive with an active family or single who will commit to taking me through formal obedience training, give me lots of outdoors playtime, and walks through the neighborhood with new adventures thrown in every few days. A “mostly at home” owner is a must, as is a fenced yard and a good supply of balls.
If you can give me what I ask for, and you’re a previous adopter please email Shell Lewis at [email protected]. If you have not adopted from CRUSA before, please fill out our adoption application HERE: https://cairnrescueusa.com/adoption-application.”
Remember that you will need to pick up Mikey via car from his foster home in Illinois if you are selected to be his very own person or family. Mikey is waiting to hear from YOU!

BEAUTIFUL 8-YEAR-YOUNG BRIDGET IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN ILLINOIS
Please take a few minutes to watch the entire video and if you have questions, post in comments and I will reply. Bridget is fully vetted and has received an excellent bill of health. She is available to an adult home that meets the criteria outlined in the video.
Bridget was a breeding bitch in a MIssouri kennel. When the kennel owner passed away she was released to a kill shelter but was eventually sent to a downstate Illinois rescue group who contacted CRUSA. She is NOT reliable in the housekeeping department and will require time and patience to fine tune her habits (although she does use p*e pads). She has whelped 2 litters in her lifetime and now it's her turn to be the baby of the family. Interested in adopting Bridget? If you've already filled out an application with CRUSA or have previously adopted from us, just comment below. If you have not previously worked with our organization you'll need to fill out our application at www.cairnrescueusa.com

UPDATE: Well the news is awesome! Miss Natalie, aka Talie, heart has been compensating so long she doesn't need surgery!!! At this time she doesn't need meds either!! So, she can be spayed now. Thank you everyone for sending the good vibes, zen, prayers or whatever ya done, I thank you!
Also, a big thanks to her foster mom Becky for driving us to Cincy today! And a big thank you to Buddy for taking care of our brats today while I was gone all day.
With Talie, send her good vibes!!

UPDATE ON ECHOCARDIOGRAM on Natalie. She has to go to a Cardiologist in Cincinnati OH. She goes this Thursday, your donations are very much appreciated. This visit is $925.00. If she has to have surgery the cost is between $6,000 -$7000.00. .
Now to the explanation: she has mild mitral regurgitation; her mitral valve is not sealing properly allowing blood to flow backwards. This can lead to heart enlargement and heart failure. It is a disease seen commonly in small breed dogs.
The ultrasonographer is concerned she may also have a small patent ductus arteriosis (PDA) and possible mild aortic stenosis. These are both heart defects she would have been born with. The PDA is often repairable with surgery, especially if severe enough.
She will be at a higher risk for anesthetic complications because of her heart defect(s). The ultrasonographer recommended a workup with a cardiologist to confirm PDA and aortic stenosis.

Mickey in Missouri!
Gorgeous 4-year-young Mickey is a purebred Cairn that was released from a breeder to "Cairn Rescue USA". Now that his stud duties are behind him, he is ready to join a younger, active family! Mickey is a loveable, busy boy who loves to play ball and frolick in the water. He would be a great candidate for a performance sport such as earth dog, agility or barn hunt. He would NOT be a good fit for a home that is looking for a quieter, laid-back companion. A fenced yard is an absolute must. A family with older, respectful children could also be a good match. Mickey would do fine with another smaller dog. He is completely up-to-date on all vetting and has been neutered. His new family should be patient with him as he fine-tunes his housekeeping habits. Mickey is being fostered in Columbia MO and travel to the foster home to complete the adoption is required.
If you have not previously adopted from Cairn Rescue USA , an adoption application is a must. You will find it at: https://cairnrescueusa.com/adoption-application/
If you've previously adopted or fostered for us, comment below or email Shell Lewis @ [email protected].

UPDATE AFTER THE VET VISIT. Thank you Dr. Sarah Crank and team for all your care and love! Now on to Tootsie, Natalie, Taffy and Tabitha in Richmond KY results. The girls explored, played and got into stuff, lol. You'll see the pix!
Tootsie is now matched.
She's current on shots and needs her spay and a badly needed dental.
Taffy, gets spayed Thursday with a badly needed dental. She wasn't very enthusiastic about shots and stuff either. Lol
Natalie, has a grade 3-4, (leans more toward the 4) heart murmur. Trying to get her into to receive an echo.
Tabitha, has an ear infection, which was treated. You can see in one of the pictures of the damage done to her ear because non treatment. Dr. Crank wants to give her time before giving her shots, spay and dental after our scare yesterday! She is the youngest and needs a dental just as much as Tootsie the oldest!
Enjoy the pix!
Interested in one of my girls, make sure to apply. But be aware you must come to Kentucky to pick up once approved, etc

A video of Elvis, aka Eli, he's doing great! He is in Richmond KY and two yrs old. Enjoy the video.
Alvin goes home!!
UPDATE: BEANS IS MATCHED We can't believe that there have been no serious inquiries for "Beans"! This gorgeous 6-year-old retired breeder is a truly wonderful boy and watching him discover all the wonders of being part of a family has been a true joy for his foster parents. In rescue, a frequently heard comment is "I wish I didn't live so far". But what are a couple of days on the road compared to a decade with a wonderful companion like Beans? Beans is located in Loveland, Colorado and yes...it's the responsibility of the adopting family, once approved, to travel within a couple of hours of the foster home. For a full description of Beans, scroll down to read our post from last week.
"CRUSA Midwest" welcomes Gracie... Gracie will be fostered in NW Indiana. She is not available for adoption at this time but we will post again when she is.
Sawyer in Richmond KY. I really would like to get another foster home or Foster to Adopt home for him, he needs a quiter home, who has more time than I do at this time to work with him. He gets along with my own Cairns, can tear up a ball really quick. He came in as a stray so I know virtually nothing about him. You must drive to Richmond KY. Apply at https://cairnrescueusa.com/adopt/
Introducing "Buddy" - New Intakes in Midwest - Please know that at this time Buddy is not available for adoption and may be adopted by his foster parent. Updates will be provided.
