"While our rescue group does usually have a few dogs available for adoption, our main goal is to provide assistance to folks needing help in finding the right dog to adopt. The rescue world is virtually inaccessible to potential adopters who don't have access to a computer and/or are not computer savvy. Even for those who do find their way to Petfinder, dealing with rescues and various shelters can be very confusing and intimidating. Folks who don't understand the basic operational differences between shelters and rescues may not have any idea what questions to ask or what to expect when contacting a rescue and, consequently, they can easily become discouraged in their search. We assist potential adopters by helping them understand how rescues work, what to expect in dealing with rescue groups, and the advantages and disadvantages of working with a rescue vs. a shelter. By networking with other rescues and shelters, we try to help potential adopters find the best pet for their situation and lifestyle. And, for those who don't have access to a computer, we will surf the net for them and then provide them with various leads to follow up on."
