Why the website when they is already a gazillion on the
Internet about dogs?
And why us?
We've "been in rescue" in one form or
fashion for most of our adult life - either finding a home for a
dog needing rescue or rescuing a dog ourselves. Throughout our wonderful journey in life with
dogs, we've seen dogs improperly identified and/or then adopted
into human lifestyles that just don't mix well. We've
encountered rescues made by people who didn't look at all
aspects of what owning a dog requires - that it was an impulse
decision later regretted. Or we've seen countless dogs
given up to shelters and rescue organizations because they were
either too much of an inconvenience, too hard to handle or had
"behavioral problems."
With euthanasia of over eight million dogs year in the United
States alone, we felt we had to do something - and as we can't
adopt them all, we hoped that by gathering enough information
and offering it up to anyone considering rescuing a dog along
with our own knowledge and experience, possibly we'd make a
small, tiny dent in the massive amounts of dogs being put down.
