Help a Chessie in Need by Honoring

Every year CBRR&R helps hundreds of Chessies in need. Sometimes these dogs need a little extra help. They might suffer from injuries or chronic illnesses, or have been badly abused or neglected. They may need special medical treatments, behavioral training or nurturing before they can find their own ‘forever’ homes.

Donations in excess of a specific dogs need will be used for our other dogs in need. Remember every donation counts and is tax deductible.
