It has now been almost a year since I had a very bad experience with a local puppy mill dog rescue. You’ll also want to budget for dog bowls for food and water, a leash and collar or harness, pet id tag, toys, doggie dental necessities like toothbrush and toothpaste, brush, shampoo, nail clipper and any vitamins or other grooming supplies your particular breed may require.

This will reduce the stress on overpopulated dog shelters and help reduce the number of unwanted dogs that are euthanized annually. The aim of the event is to provides a meeting a bonding venue for dog lovers in the greater Los Angeles area, while raising funds to support rescue, care and adoption outreach efforts.

Not only can you find a great puppy or adult through this type of organization, but you can also rescue one who might otherwise end up in a shelter. These lively, happy dogs love playing and being with their family. Dog rescue not only rescue abused or neglected dogs but also the homeless and abandoned dogs out there.

Shelters rarely have exotic and feral animals such as wildcats living there. The majority of dogs live in family environments, and the companionship they provide is well worth the effort involved in taking care of a dog. 1. Some animals end up in shelters without any background history.

BlueDogs Rescue is also a featured charity for the Austin Marathon and participates in the 26 Miles for 26 Charities program, with local runners raising money to support BlueDog animal rescue efforts. These dogs are a part of a little known group that are available for adoption.
