JCCARE Japanese Chin Rescue accepts all donations no matter how large or small.

With our veterinary and associated costs in the thousands of dollars any amount is appreciated. You can make a tax deductible donation on-line with your American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover via Paypal by simply clicking the button below.

CAUTION:
It has recently come to our attention that certain kennels are claiming to be placing "rescued" dogs.  Please be advised that JCCARE, Inc. does not place Chin for sale with kennels, nor do we place Chin who have not been altered.  The same is true of most other legitimate rescue organizations.  If you see a kennel advertising "rescue" dogs, extreme caution is warranted. 

  Additionally, if you are in contact with anyone claiming to be with JCCARE and the adoption fee is more than the currently listed fee on our website (plus the $50 health fee, if applicable), please contact Dana Baldinger (superula@comcast.net) to verify that the available Chin is or is not a JCCARE Chin.
