Since we are simply advocates of rescue, our slogan is “Don’t Shop – Adopt! With so many puppies and adult dogs that need loving homes that have absolutely nothing wrong with them except starving for the need of love and companionship of an understanding human being, many are sadly euthanized simply because no one adopted them fast enough. What is further heartbreaking is when a pet is surrendered into a county or local shelter; many people do not even ask if that particular shelter is a "kill" or "non-kill" shelter. Fortunately for only approximately a quarter of these puppies and dogs surrendered into these "kill" shelters, they are pulled out right before they are scheduled to be euthanized from supporting non-kill rescue groups that are committed to finding the right home for each of them. With many privately funded and all volunteer groups all over the country, it's almost guaranteed that you can find a specific breed rescue right in your own tri-state area. Therefore, if you have done your research on which breed(s) would be a good fit for you and your lifestyle, we suggest then doing a web search on: (PUT BREED NAME HERE) RESCUE (YOUR STATE HERE) to find a breed specific rescue in your neighborhood. Although, in some cases, the adoption can be a lengthy process, it is, however, a highly rewarding experience because you have now been "matched" up with a great puppy/dog that suits your needs and lifestyle and furthermore, most pets that come from rescues are already up to date on all shots, spayed or neutered, housebroken, and have been temperament tested. For other great places to start your search, especially for a specific breed, age, and by a tri-state area, go to Petfinder.com or visit your local ASPCA/SPCA.
