DONATE.
​
CCHDR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on generous donations from people like you to help the dogs in our care with spay/neuter, current vaccinations, medical care, micro-chipping, feeding, and more while they await forever homes.
2026 CALENDAR FUNDRAISER.
​
FINALLY – HERE WE GO AGAIN! Due to the influx of dogs, and the lack of hands, we had to furlough the 2025 Calendar. But we had so many requests, we are making a big effort to bring one out for this year! We’re ready to get started on the 2026 CCHD Rescue Calendar!
​
The pages will again feature some of our favorite photos from the last year and (if we can fit) submissions from our adopters and supporters. All proceeds from our calendar will directly benefit CCHD's Medical Fund. This is our ONLY fundraiser, and your support helps us continue taking care of and placing our dogs into loving, forever homes. Medical bills keep getting more expensive with some as high as $6,000 to do what’s needed. But it’s worth it when we see these dogs flourish in their forever homes!
In addition, dogs are fed a high-quality food and regularly treated for fleas/ticks - as well as vaccinated and microchipped. It all adds up quickly! You can support our Medical Fund in two ways:
​
Purchase the 2026 CCHDR Calendar for $30 includes shipping
-
Place an order by clicking the "Donate" button under PayPal or Venmo links above
-
Denote “2026 Calendar” in the memo section
We are accepting orders now through December 1st or until we run out! Calendars will ship early/mid Dec, arriving in plenty of time for the holidays
​
