Take Care
Pets are commitments for life.
And although most people would probably theoretically agree with that statement, so many people give up on their dogs because they are not prepared to handle the nuances of interaction & communication with another species. If you or someone you know is having a bit of a rough time-- check out these books for some really great advice.

If you are new to the Internet or just new to this site, are looking to adopt a dog, find a lost pet, find a home for a rescue dog, or want information about how you can start your own local rescue, please visit the Rescue Center Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to properly use this site to maximize your rescue efforts.
National Mega-Directories/Special Needs & Senior Dog Rescue Info US Animal Shelter Web Sites by Geographic Location Dog Rescue Lists & Discussion Forums Canine Health & Veterinary Center While this resource is quite substantial, it is not meant to be 100% complete, as it only lists shelters with highly active web sites supervised by someone directly connected with the shelter! So, if you don't find what you need, please look in the National Directories, which list more shelters, including those who have yet to establish a web presence. |

Francis works his little paws to the bone to bring you links to shelter sites in the US that contain a significant number of on-line resources, have email access, etc. but do you know how hard it is to type with your paws? So have patience. And please report any site errors (citing the URL of the page the error was on) to cstaff@caryn.com.
