Dog Rescue OrganizationsThere are a whole host of dog rescue organizations that help the millions of homeless dogs in animal shelters and city pounds across the country (and even world-wide).  These facilities are staffed and run by amazingly dedicated people who spend their lives trying to 'make a difference' in the sad, lonely lives of abandoned, abused, homeless and generally unloved animals. If you're thinking about adding a new dog (or cat, maybe even a small/exotic animal), to your family we'd like to ask you to PLEASE consider adopting a homeless puppy or dog from a local pound or shelter, rather than buying a puppy.
