Yikes.... I have been uber lazy with my blog posts! As I sit here in South Florida enjoying 83 degree weather in January with my two golden kids, I am also wondering about all of those new puppies that were given as Christmas presents. You know, the ones that will end up in some shelter come September or October when the people find that having a puppy is tough work (no kidding!)... or they didnt realize their dog was going to shed.. or they just dont have time for the pup. It boggles my mind that people dont take the time to consider any of these things before they get a dog. So if you know of anyone in this situation... PLEASE suggest they find a rescue group instead of taking the dog to any shelter. There are thousands of rescue groups... breed specific groups... big dog groups... little dog groups... senior dog groups.. just mutt groups.. really... so many. These groups are run by tireless volunteers that find the pups foster homes until they can find their forever homes. A search on Google will locate many of them. www.petfinder.com is a great site for rescues... you can view pets in need of homes, but also get the names of rescues that post these pets. There is also www.bestfriends.org My favorite animal sanctuary! One of these days I will get to southern Utah to volunteer for the week... and if my dreams every come true.. I will be able to run my own animal sanctuary one day!
Anyway.... my new year's resolution will be to do a better job with my tailwagger blog! Life is short... play with your dog....
