You're right about some of the rescues knowing and working with each other. Associating/networking with other rescues has many benefits. I've transported dogs for cavalier rescue, cairn terrier rescue, an all breed rescue and other rescues have transported for yorkie rescue. I know one Pom rescue person that anytime she comes across a breeder surrender yorkie will call me.
I can't agree with you more the Lone Star State has some of the very best rescues, very hardworking, dedicated people! |
I just wanted to add too that I live in NJ and I know that are rescue does pull dogs from shelters, but it is usually the dogs that are very sick and or unadoptable. The shelter does not have the $$ to vet to the extent that the dogs need and that is why rescue will pull them.
