The Health & Rescue Foundation of the PBGVCA supports canine health research for the future of our breed. We are fortunate that the PBGV is a very healthy breed. A critical aspect of maintaining the breed’s health is to educate breeders and owners on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of health issues relevant to the PBGV. At the same time, we are conscious of the need to support research that will lead to future health advances. Here, we partner with the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF).

The Foundation is committed to advancing the health and well-being of the PBGV through targeted health initiatives, research funding, education & proactive programs.

The Foundation supports the goals of the PBGVCA Rescue Committee to
fund the rescue of PBGVs
when they are neglected,
endangered, or orphaned.

The goal of Breed Preservation is to help implement strategies that may increase AKC registered PBGV litters while preserving the health & character of the breed.

The Health & Rescue Foundation of the PBGVCA is an independent 501(c)3 corporation that can accept tax exempt donations. It was formed in large part to support the goals of the PBGV Club of America’s Health Committee and Rescue Committee. Specific objectives of the Foundation are:

1. To receive and administer funds for charitable, scientific or educational purposes through contributions from the general public.
2. To promote, fund and perform research into the health, care and breeding of purebred PBGVs.
3. To fund the rescue of PBGVs when they are neglected or endangered.
4. To promote the proper care of purebred PBGVs through educational means.
5. To promote and fund activities that are directed at preserving the breed.
