Meet the lucky Cairn Terriers brought into the Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network in 2009. This is our fifth year to have a comprehensive listing of all terriers accepted by our rescue group. Our ability to rescue this tremendous amount of Cairns is ONLY due to the hard but rewarding work of our many Volunteers as well as your financial support of our Cairn Rescue Mall, Corporate Affiliate Programs, Grandparent and Guardian Angel Programs as well as the many Direct Donations with which you have been so generous. Thank you from all of us. IMPORTANT - The dogs on this page are not necessarily available for adoption. If you have applied to adopt a cairn from CPCRN, ONLY the dogs listed on the AVAILABLE CAIRNS page are currently available for adoption. This foster dog pictorial is to show ALL dogs that passed through CPCRN this year. It DOES NOT show Cairns available for adoption on any particular date. While all of our foster dogs for the current year will be listed here, many may not be available for adoption immediately OR AT ALL. Some will be in the process of being adopted, many will be already adopted, and others may be in our "FOSTER TO ADOPT" program. CPCRN evaluates the temperament and health of our dogs prior to any adoption availability and brings them current on their medical needs. Sadly some dogs we take in will NEVER be adopted because of health or temperament issues. PLEASE check the Available Cairns page to check on AVAILABLE dogs. Also, since this is a yearly listing, many on this list may have already been adopted. | |

Fabrics to Keep You Warm
Imagine living outside in a small wire hutch. No warm, soft bedding, nothing to keep your feet from freezing to the wire beneath you. Many puppy mills cull stock this time of year. Col Potter was asked to help although we lack sufficient foster homes. But these dogs needed us and we have taken EIGHT Cairns, including a pregnant female, knowing our members would step forward.
Please welcome the Fabrics to Keep You Warm group!

Please help in anyway you can |

|
|
Col Potter has rescued an incredible 63 Cairns this month. There are many more Cairns still awaiting their chance at freedom. Please think how you can help. Volunteer as a transporter or a foster parent or in another capacity. Sponsor a fostered Cairn. Become a guardian angel for a Cairn in medical need. Donate what funds you can, shop in our mall, donate items for our auctions. Please help a Cairn. Saving one Cairn won't change the world, but it will change the world for that Cairn. There are always more at the door. |

ADOPT AN OLDER DOG!
|
|
Why? Because what you see is what you get, they are easy to train, super-loving, settle in quickly, and are lower maintenance. Besides, you'll be a hero. Oh, did I mention that they are CUTE! |

Welcome Edward & Bella Swan! |
|
Edward and Bella Swan, have joined our clan, pulled from a shelter where their time was running out due to space issues.
These are two stunning cairns- and this is before grooming!
In a short amount of time- the fear will leave their eyes, and they will know the good life! |

Welcome Jemma & McEos!
|
|
Two sweet older cairns found themselves in need of a new home due to extreme life changes for their owner. While it broke the owner's heart to find a new home for them, she had to do what was in their best interest. Luckily for Jemma and McEos, she contacted CP and we were able to help. They moved to their foster homes and are adjusting well. Thanks CP for helping these kids!

Welcome the OH DEER! Cairns 
|
|
It was dark as the rescue chariot carrying 5 Cairns traveled along the country roads. OH DEER, the rescue chariot didn't see it until it was too late and couldn't avoid hitting the deer. The impact left its passengers shaken and bruised but otherwise fine. The road to freedom is not smooth and sometimes there are some major bumps -or deer - in their path.

The Sky's the Limit! |
|
For those Cairns that are lucky enough to find their way into Col. Potter, truly The Sky's the Limit! But now consider what those "limits" are. Col. Potter can only help as many Cairns as we have resources for. Those resources are money most definitely, foster homes of course, but also volunteers to work on the various teams that make up CP. This may sound like a broken record, but the need is great. It is unbelievably difficult to turn down a Cairn from coming into CP because we don't have the resources available.
Welcome two Cairns who did make their way into CP and for whom "The Sky's the Limit." They were helped as a result of the Name a PM Program. With the holidays fast approaching, what a wonderful gift for someone who has everything, a dog lover on your list, or a special remembrance of someone gone. Plus, it is a quick easy way to facilitate your holiday shopping and help CP continue to offer "The Sky's the Limit" to so many Cairns.

| Silk Has Her Pups! |

More puppies! This is truly a bountiful autumn!
Silk gave birth to four beautiful puppies. One little fellow sadly didn't make it but the other 3 are strong and wriggling. Of course, they have FABRIC names since Silk is one of the Fabric Group rescued in October by CPCRN.

| IMPORTANT - If you have applied to adopt a cairn from CPCRN, ONLY the dogs listed on the AVAILABLE CAIRNS page are currently available for adoption. You can view all Cairns currently available for adoption here: Available Cairns This foster dog pictorial is to show ALL dogs that passed through CPCRN this year. It DOES NOT show Cairns available for adoption on any particular date. While all of our foster dogs for the current year will be listed here, many may not be available for adoption immediately OR AT ALL. Some will be in the process of being adopted, many will be already adopted, and others may be in our "FOSTER TO ADOPT" program. CPCRN evaluates the temperament and health of our dogs prior to any adoption availability and brings them current on their medical needs. Sadly some dogs we take in will NEVER be adopted because of health or temperament issues. PLEASE check the website for the current status and availability. Again, the Available Cairns page is the place to check on AVAILABLE dogs. |
