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

Charlee, 2 yrs old in Richmond KY...

25/11/2025

Are you interested in a Cairn who likes to sit on you or by you? Meet two yr old Charlee, she's a little girl in Richmond KY, who has lots of personality. She doesn't like bigger dogs and if you have a dog in your home, a slow meet 'n greet is necessary. She sleeps in her crate, her "room", at night because if startled, she growls/snaps or may bite, per her former parents. She doesn't like vacuum cleaner either! Her parents had to give her up due to health reasons. I think no small children would be in her best interest. Cats? No idea. Personally, I'd say no. She is housetrained and p*e pads trained.

Interested in adopting, please complete our application.

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.
