Preventing the flow STARTS with spaying and neutering your pets (check this great link for important info!, and promoting rescue over purchasing from breeders. Those two things alone will make a huge difference!
Beyond that are some many factors related to pet parenting situations that can land a pet in the rescue system.

The Bond
This image is so poetic in a number of ways. We saw it first on a fb post and it touched our heart, not only for the picture, but the accompanying message spoke to hoping the dog knew how much she means to her dad. We reached out to learn more about their story, knowing that dad is not only a loving dog owner, but works in a city shelter helping so many homeless pets every day. He told us: “Abbey is a 10 1/2 year old that I adopted from the animal shelter where i have worked for 11 years. She’s been with me for 9 1/2 years and has been a very valued companion. I want people to value dogs more. And, if they see a dog who needs help, to help if they can. I’m an animal welfare advocate teacher/trainer and help dogs in need in the community.”
Every animal deserves the love that Abbey receives and is shared with dog dad Brian. Whether it’s a pit bull type dog (that tragically is the source of so much discrimination), or any other mixed or purebred dog, or type of cat, WE must be responsible to provide the care, training, and love they deserve.
This site is on a quest to help educate animal lovers and pet owners alike about the issues, and tools/initiatives towards achieving that goal.
