Chocolate Chip Dalmatian Assistance League

Adopting Homeless Dalmatians in Maryland, Virginia, and DC!

Our Pet List



NEWS

Hello! Thank you for visiting us. We are very pleased to join the Petfinder family, and know you will enjoy meeting our wonderful Dals here. We will update this news area as we have or hear of special events that will be meaningful to adopters and/or rescuers.

At the bottom is a link to our primary home page which has links to other rescue organizations and a large repository of useful information for all pet owners.

MISSION STATEMENT

Chocolate Chip Dalmatian Assistance League is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping unwanted, abandoned, abused, and/or neglected Dalmatians in shelters find loving permanent homes. We evaluate the dogs’ temperaments, foster Dals in our homes, bring them up to date on vet care, spay or neuter, and provide socialization.

We cannot take in owner relinquishments for foster, but will assist the owners in finding a new home by posting their Dal on our web site if they will continue to physically and financially support their dog until an appropriate, permanent home is located.

PRIMARY GOALS

Rescuing pure-bred Dalmatians of good temperament from local shelters before they are euthanized and finding appropriate permanent homes for them,

Educating the public about the Dalmatian breed,

Assisting owners with all aspects of raising a Dalmatian,

Promoting responsible pet ownership,

Advocating spay/neuter as a means of decreasing pet over-population, and

Cooperating with other rescue groups and assisting them whenever possible.

ADOPTION PROCEDURES

CCDAL does not have a shelter. Since all of our pets are fostered in the Washington DC area, we limit our placements to Maryland, DC, and Virginia. Prospective adopters first complete an application, then we contact their vet(s) to verify the care of their current and past animals. If the adopter lives in rented property, we contact the landlord to verify that pets the size of a Dalmatian are allowed. If all goes well to this point, the adopter will be invited to meet the dog (or dogs) that they are interested in taking into their family. We will make a home visit to be sure that the environment is suitable to the dog before final placement. Email jackie.threatte@comcast.net for an application form to get the process started.
