Rescue Dogs and Groups
I have worked with many great rescue
groups and have some favorites since I have a working relationship with
them. But I have learned that most people involved with saving animals
from shelters are wonderful people with great big hearts. I am going to
share information and stories from the groups that I work with. It
doesn’t mean the group or breed are the best, it is just what I have
been able to experience first hand. For every story and animal I have
helped rescue, there are thousands and thousands just like it.

I have grown to love
English Springer Spaniels, along with a lot of other
breeds, since I began working with rescue groups.
Charlie is my Springer that I adopted from our local
shelter. He was very sick and no one seemed to want a
barking, crazy 8 month old male Springer. He was as cute
as can be, but full of Springer energy. Field bred
Springers are born to run all day and run all night. We
were going to only foster Charlie, but he quickly became
part of our family when it became difficult to find the
right home for him. Sometimes it takes months and years
to find a rescued dog living in a foster home a forever
permanent loving home. So I started to work with English
Springer Rescue of America. It is a wonderful
group of extremely dedicated people who try find every
Springer in a shelter a home. Not easy to do, but
that is their goal. Most rescue groups have the
same purpose – to save their favorite breed of dog from
being euthanized at shelters and dog pounds.

If you
are thinking of buy a new puppy or dog, please consider
adopting from a shelter or a rescue group that works
with your favorite breed. If you don’t know where to
find a rescue group, just use your favorite Search
Engine and do a search similar to this “springer
rescue group Ohio” Specify the breed
you want and the state you live in.
You will be amazed how many groups are close
to you.

Rescue Groups
Dogs that are adopted from shelters or
rescue groups are extremely loyal. Somehow
they know that you have saved them.
