“Rescue Dogs” are dogs that for one reason or another don’t have a home, or are being mistreated where they are, and are rescued from the situation, and fostered by kind people until a nice person comes along and takes them home with them as a companion.

Before I moved in here, my owner was looking for a dog that needed a home, and used a popular site called Petfinder.  They have dogs from all over the United States that need homes.  We live in NJ, to find dogs that need homes in our state you go to this link.  You can go to the home page from there and see if you can search for homeless pets in your area.

In most towns, there is an animal shelter, we have a very active one in our town.  That may be the best place to start your search.  It’s sad to think of how many dogs have to spend their lives living in small enclosures or cages, isn’t it?

Before you decide to own a dog, or any pet, make sure you have given it a lot of thought, and planned well.  Too many animals end up in shelters because people find out that taking care of a pet is a lot more work than they thought.

My friend, Copper, has a new picture sent to me by his owner, Betty Lynch. Copper is a rescue dog, and is settling in to his new home nicely, according to Betty…who may be sitting next to him at her laptop?

You met Copper before, but this is a new picture, and a new reminder to us how important it is to consider adopting a pet. There are many sites to help you with this, start local, though, almost every town has an animal shelter, I know ours does. If your town doesn’t, check nearby towns. There are SOOO many pets that need homes, or just someone to visit them at the shelter and take them for a walk, maybe your shelter needs volunteers.

I hope all my animal and people friends are doing well today!

My owner received an important email from a friend, and her friend checked it out, all appears to be legit, so read on, and see how simple it is to help our animal friends:

“Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple… Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here’s the web site! Pass this info along to people you know.

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS !!!
