Colorado Papillon Rescue (CPR) was established in 1994 by Tracy Burdick as the
statewide contact to assist homeless Papillons via membership in the All-Breed Rescue
Network (ABRN) of Colorado. CPR accepts Papillons from shelters or
owners, places them in foster care, provides necessary veterinary
care (including vaccinations and spay/neuter), and
screens and selects adoptive homes. During 1995-2003, we were affiliated
with the Papillon Club of America Rescue and operated under PCA's
guidelines. We currently operate as a private rescue group under ABRN
guidelines.
If you are
interested in adopting a rescue Papillon, please note the following:
- All rescue Papillons are
spayed or neutered and vaccinated prior to
adoption.
- An adoption fee is required (rescue efforts and veterinary care is funded in part
from the adoption fees).
- Adoptive persons must sign
an adoption agreement.
- The age, background, and
medical history of these dogs could be unknown.
- Adoptions are always on a
trial basis to ensure compatibility of the dog and
adoptive family.
- The average age of a
rescued Papillon is 3-5 years (if known).
- The adoption process begins
with completion of an adoption application and also involves a home visit
and reference checks.

A tribute to the
many rescued Papillons which have shared my home...
I Do Come With
Baggage
Author unknown
Now that I am
home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed,
I'd like to open my baggage, least I forget,
There is so much to carry...
So much to regret.
Hmm...yes there
is, right on top,
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache, and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame,
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave,
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the
others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough, for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things...
And take me right back?
Do you have time
to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do...I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage,
So will you still want me?
