Questions
about retired guide dogs? Check out the GDA website for more
information on the after-service adoption program. Although they are not
currently accepting applications (the list is too long!), they can refer you to
some other wonderful agencies with dogs that need homes!
Looking
to adopt a pet? There are thousands of terrific dogs (and other
animals) in shelters across the country waiting and hoping to be adopted by a
loving family. Rather than buying a pet from a store or breeder, please
consider reviewing nationwide animal shelter links to find your new best friend.
There are several that we recommend.....
PetBond and PetFinder, are just two of them. These databases search shelters, rescue organizations and foster care
homes to find YOU the perfect pet! Search by animal type,
breed, age, size, sex or color. Save a life - ADOPT A PET!

Animal
Heros .... We loved this story about prison inmates becoming puppy
raisers. Not only are these puppies being raised to be good guide dogs,
but the inmates who raise them benefit too. Learn more about this
interesting program at the Puppies
Behind Bars.website.
 Dogs
With Jobs is a fantastic book about all kinds of working dogs - guide
dogs, service dogs, sled dogs, rescue dogs, show dogs, racing dogs & more. It made me laugh,
it made me cry..... sometimes both at once. It is available to order online through
Amazon
(new, and used for less),
where it received an average 5 star reader rating. Click the
photo at left or the Amazon link above to read the reviews and order
this super book. A must have for every dog lover's coffee table! |
