WTCARES was formed as a committee of the Welsh Terrier Club of America in the early 1980’s. Its purpose was to rescue Welsh terriers in need and to rehome them. WTCARES became a charitable trust established by the WTCA in 2007 with its own trustees and treasury. Welshes come to WTCARES for many reasons. Perhaps an owner has moved and cannot take their dog with them or the owner has become ill and is unable to look after their Welsh any longer. We do take Welshes from shelters and those turned over from commercial breeders. At times people have gotten their dog from a breeder who, unlike our WTCA breeders, has not screened the home to see that they are aware of the personality and activity level of the Welsh. The dog is not bad nor are the owners but it was a bad match. For whatever reason, a Welsh terrier or its people has WTCARES for safety net when needed.

Rescues are fostered by volunteers and evaluated to determine their temperament, training, and suitability for placement. Our application process, interviewing of prospective matches, and home visits help us match the right dog to family. We continue to have contact with and support of family and dog through the years. All rescues are up to date on shots, have been spayed or neutered, and any health issues, testing, and treatment done before placement.
