I thought of a upcoming fundraiser’s that a Chessie Rescue group in WI is having so I thought I would highlight this fundraiser and their group.
CRROWChesapeake Retriever Rescue Of Wisconsin
The Chesapeake Retriever Rescue of WI is a group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and finding them loving forever homes. We rescue adoptable purebred or mixed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers from shelters, strays, and from owners who can no longer care for their dogs. We are staunch promoters of spaying and neutering, and no dog is placed by our organization without this being done before placement. We also educate potential adopters about the breed to make sure a Chesapeake is the right dog for their family.
CRROW volunteers set up a booth at different events, they have fundraisers, they have picnics, they have a website and a facebook page to help spread the word about their organization and to raise money to keep CRROW going.
Right now CRROW has 4 Chesapeakes that need a forever home.
Visit CRROW’s website to see the information on these Chesapeakes.

Great cause to bring attention too. So many people who are attached to a breed (including me) don’t realize there are brand specific rescues ALL OVER. You want a Chessie? You can get one from a rescue!
You sure can and I wish more people would! 🙂
Great cause!
It seems to me that pure-bred rescue associations can sometimes be lost in the mix of all the animals in need of homes, so it’s always good to give them exposure.
Thank you, I think because they are a small rescue group they might get over looked.
That sounds like a great organisation!
Thank you, it is and the ladys heading it are great!
What a great cause! Chessies are awesome, at least we think so! Hope the 4 Chessies find a home. The last one looks like our Ash!
What a great cause and sounds like such a fun event!
Great cause and sounds like they are good at organizing events. I agree with Kate – so important to remind folks that there are breed-specific rescues out there ready and able to help you find the dog of your dreams!
Such a great organization, and a very fun event to raise money and awareness! So glad you highlighted CRROW in Blog the Change.
I can add this to my Fetching Friday’s upcoming events, hopefully it will help!
