It is with a happy heart we announce there is no longer a need to help shelters in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area deal with an overwhelming number of abandoned Dalmatians. It was always our desire that we could eventually go out of business for lack of demand, and that time has come. CCDAL is grateful for all of the individuals and organizations who volunteered, contributed their time, and money over the past 40 years. Your support allowed us to rescue, medically treat, and successfully (and appropriately) re-home hundreds of Dalmatians.
