Rescue Links

If you are interested in adopting a dog from a rescue organization, you can almost always find a link to a rescue site. Go to www.google.com or www.yahoo.com and search for "[Breed] Rescue [Area]." Examples would be "Border Collie Rescue Northwest" or "German Shepherd Rescue Northwest". Most dog shelters also have web sites through Petfinders as well.
