Canine Health Education and Welfare (CHEW) is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing abandoned dogs, dogs scheduled for euthanasia due to overcrowding and other dogs who need us. We often rescue dogs from local shelters in Washington as well as working alongside partners to rescue dogs from "dumping grounds" in nearby regions, specializing in smaller dogs, generally under 30 pounds. We focus on placing dogs into vetted foster homes, providing medical care and finding permanent forever homes.
