Welcome
Peke N Chin Midwest is a small rescue group made up of volunteers, located throughout the Midwest area, dedicated
to the breeds of Pekingese and Japanese Chin.
Our purpose is to rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned, neglected and surrendered Pekingese and Japanese Chins.
These dogs are provided with the attention, care and medical treatment necessary including spaying/neutering, until a permanent home can be found.
Through the commitment of our volunteers, PNC also focuses on education of the public regarding puppy mills and responsible dog ownership, such as spaying/neutering, training and humane care of Pekingese and Japanese Chins.
Foster homes are truly the lifeblood of our organization. Our foster network of volunteers support and enjoy each other's company.
It is a fun and rewarding experience. Would you like to join us to help make a difference? Please fill out our Volunteer Application.
All PNC Midwest pups are altered when they join our family. This is very important as many have been breeders or are
rescued from shelters. We all must do our part in helping end the misery of the unwanted pets in society today.
Peke N Chin Midwest is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization and we are led by our Constitution (as attached in Adobe Acrobat format).
Please email Regi Goodhall

Animal Rescue Transports Give Hope One Leg at a Time
"It's highly rewarding because without them, these transports would not be possible and more shelter animals would lose their lives."
Animal rescue transport is a mode of free, volunteer-based transportation designed to rescue animals from high kill shelters and abusive/neglectful situations, and transport them to screened and approved rescues and forever homes.
Behind the Scenes - A Closer Look at the Puppy Mill Industry
"The stench of garbage, urine and feces is unbearable. Ammonia hangs heavy in the air and flies are everywhere.
Dim lighting and the constant barking of dogs in distress create a sense of chaos.
Row upon row of stacked cages hold dogs matted with feces - some too sick to move. This is the world of a puppy mill dog."
It's important to know that, in many cases, puppy mills are not illegal. In most states, a breeding kennel can legally keep dozens, even hundreds, of dogs in cages for their entire lives, as long as the dogs are given the basics of food, water, and shelter.
Because most puppy mills are not illegal, we need help from the public to put an end to the consumer demand for their "product." You can help end the suffering and put a stop to puppy mills by getting your next dog from an animal shelter, rescue group, or a humane and responsible breeder that you have carefully screened in person. But most importantly, be informed and pass your knowledge onto others. What is a Puppy Mill?

Blog: Veterinary Rescuer: Dr. Lisa Deppe
Someone once said to me, "There are veterinarians who happen to do some animal rescue. You are not one of those vets. You are an animal rescuer who just happens to be a veterinarian."
Two for the road...
In 2010, Peke N Chin Midwest rescued 25 Pekingese dogs from a commercial breeder who needed to cull her breeding stock because they were no longer profitable to her.
One of the stories in Dr. Lisa Deppe's blog is about two dogs, Gypsie and Frito, that we brought to the Jewell Animal Hospital in September for treatment of severe injuries due to deliberate neglect - an all too common sight and result of the commercial breeding industry.
Peke N Chin Midwest is forever grateful to Dr. Lisa Deppe and her wonderful staff at the Jewell Animal Hospital in Jewell, IA. They have sacrificed time for us on many occassions from their days off, and during busy times of year, to help bring sick
and neglected dogs back to a more compassionate start in life.
Artist to the Rescue
One of the purposes of sharing my photographs is to support pet rescue. There are literally millions of perfectly healthy dogs and cats put down each year that people decide they don't want. Instead of a wonderful rescue dog (we have four), people unthinkingly promote the horrors of puppy mill production by getting a new puppy instead. Please visit Petfinder.com for wonderful vetted pets of any breed in any area.
Please visit my online photo album and contact me for purchase of any of my photos. I can send you hard copy or high resolution electronic files. For payment, all you have to do is make a donation to a registered pet rescue group (you even get a tax receipt!), and once I receive notice from them that you have donated, I will send out your pictures! Please ask the rescue organisation to send me notice of your donation.
I would recommend any group listed on Petfinder, but we have a special relationship with Peke N Chin Midwest of Minnesota, Furry Friends of Brandon Manitoba, and New Beginnings in Minnestota.
Gracie, Finnegan and their buddies say, "thanks for thinking rescue".

The new Lost Souls: FOUND! book is a wonderful compilation full of 60+ stories from people who have fostered and/or adopted dogs. It includes stories of various breeds and mixed-breeds. There is truly something for everyone in this book.
Saving Gracie: How one dog escaped the shadowy world of American puppy mills. It's the compelling true story of one dog's rescue from a Pennsylvania puppy mill and her transformation from a bedraggled animal, worn out from bearing puppies, into a loving, healthy member of her new family. The book also profiles the people who stepped forward to save her along the way.
Critics praise Gracie for its no-holds-barred look at the dark side of dog-breeding. People magazine calls it a "scorching investigation" and gives it four stars. Readers are sharing stories of their own puppy mill rescues. You can find them throughout Carol's website.
