Everyday, thousands of dogs are neglected, abused and abandoned. Hopefully, with the assistance and support of local dog shelters, breed rescues and caring individuals, these animals can be salvaged and go on to lead productive and happy lives. Please support your local animal shelter and consider adoption of a dog needing a good home.Mary D.

If you know anything at all about the current pet overpopulation crisis in the country, then you are already planning to adopt a homeless animal rather than buy from a pet store or a breeder. You already know that incredible pets can often be found at animal shelters and breed specific rescue centers. By doing your homework and learning all you can about different dog breeds, you have enough

Animals wind up in rescue for any number of reasons. Most dogs in rescues were found hungry on the streets. Often, the dogs are turned in because their owners can no longer care for them, but love them too much to have them put down. Sometimes the dogs come in with a fantastic rescue story. Sometimes these dogs simply come up to the rescue operators in the grocery store parking lot. Every

The saying, adopt a dog, save a life has never embodied a more urgent a plea. Across the fruited plain, in cities, towns and hamlets, upscale, downscale and no scale communities, dogs are being abandoned and too often forgotten.

German Shepherd rescue organizations are an important alternative to the dog pound for owners of purebred German Shepherd dogs who, for whatever reason, must give up their dogs. They may have gotten their German Shepherds with good intentions, but life brings changes, and many purebred German Shepherd dogs end up homeless because of deaths, marriages, moves, or children. Since the German Shepherd
