Adopt a Rescued Dog
There are several benefits to adopting a rescued dog. Many rescued dogs are mature adults who are
housebroken. Adult dogs are past the stage of chewing on your shoes and furniture. They are loyal to
the hand that feeds them, shelters them, and loves them. Give a loving pet a second chance – adopt.
Listed on the following pages are telephone contacts for individual dog breed rescues. If the
breed you are looking for is not listed, it may be because the contact for that breed has declined
to be in the book or we are not aware of them. Keep in mind when calling these contacts that
in many cases you are calling someone’s home. Most of these people are volunteers who donate
their time for the love of the breed. Be respectful of the hours you call. Also, be aware that it
may take time to get a response to your call.
