River City Chihuahua Rescue

About

In August, 2006, we branched off from a long association with Chihuahua Rescue and Transport in order to have a more local focus. We love CRT and are modeling ourselves after the high standards of that wonderful organization. You may have noticed that we have also branched out from chihuahuas. As we were doing shelter pulls, it became harder and harder to pull chihuahuas for rescue and leave behind other small breed dogs that we knew were highly adoptable. So we started taking them also. Chihuahuas are first in our hearts but we have been very successful in finding wonderful homes for doxies, miniature pinschers and various terriers. If we have the means, the desire and the drive to rescue them as well, how could we not? I guess we should start calling ourselves River City Canine Rescue. River City Chihuahua Rescue is a non-profit organization in the state of Missouri with 501(c)3 status as granted by the Internal Revenue Service. We have no paid employees. We are a local, internet-based organization dedicated to the rescue, medical care and adoption of stray and homeless small breed dogs in need. We help control the growing overpopulation by spaying and neutering all dogs in our care. We provide all necessary veterinary treatment and place them in foster homes until they are adopted into forever homes. Whenever possible, RCCR also raises public awareness regarding the abuse and neglect of small breed dogs as well as overpopulation caused by not spaying and neutering.
