Through educational programs for staff and volunteers of animal welfare organizations, we can alleviate the suffering of lost pets and their owners. We can also have a significant effect on pet overpopulation by returning lost dogs and cats to their owner so they never become strays, and never end up in overcrowded shelters facing an uncertain fate.

I have alot of background in dog training and behaviour. Also, I have helped saved many dogs from being euthanized at various animal shelters by taking the time they may not have had, and researching and finding new homes for the "hard to place" dogs at shelters and pounds. I have been certified in dog training school but it goes way beyond the "basic training". In my experience the dogs that really needed saving and rehab for placement are the ones that the shelters would not adopt out for as they say "liability" reasons. In other words, not to blame them, they need to protect their organizations, but the dogs need to be socialized and retrained or rehabbed and they are understaffed and volunteers have to abide by their rules. I have a circle of experienced dog loving people who have found each other through the same concerns and venues. Trying to help the so called "impossible dog" to place in just any homes. The dogs have failed the infamous" temp tests" that are OFTEN times given by inexperienced shelter staff and their "trainers"! Many dogs I have seen be destroyed because they gave the "whale eye" to a "trainer" who then would fail the dog, and therefore, well, the dog was put down because he may have been misjudged by an inexperienced person. I am not saying that all tests are bad I am just saying that you canot predict a dogs behaviour all the time, so why not consider the circumstances and give the dog another chance? I realize that this is a debate that could go on forever. So, I would rather help by helping people who need help with dogs, and dogs that need help with their people. If I am not qualified I will not pretend to know all, I will simply direct you to who may help you. MY intention is to help keep people from making the devasating decision to surrender their beloved pet to a shelter or vice-versa, have pets get adopted and then go back to the shelter just to be bounced around or worse "yes worse" euthanized.

Italian Greyhound Rescue is an organization that receives Italian Greyhounds who have been turned in for various reasons with housebreaking issues and "not knowing the breed" being at the top. Italian Greyhounds are typically, very sensitive and 'needy', they want to connect to their owners and be part of their lives....if the dog is unhappy and misunderstood, the owner will also be unhappy.

The purpose of the Las Vegas Weimaraner Club Rescue Program is to take Weims in need of homes, rehabilitate them, and find loving new homes for these wonderful dogs. Our goal is to give as many lost, neglected and abandoned Weims as possible a second chance at a good life. Often through no fault of their own, Weimaraners are turned over to us because of lifestyle changes of their owners. The owners divorce, move to an apartment, have a baby, etc. and can no longer care for their Weimaraner. Also animal shelters throughout the state receive Weimaraners for various reasons also. These shelters know of our Rescue Program and call us when they get a Weimaraner. Sometimes Weims are found running loose and are turned over to us. Why adopt an adult dog? Weimaraner puppies, as cute as they are, are notorious for causing havoc as they go through the housebreaking, chewing, and basic learning stages. Rescued Weims make wonderful companions. They seem grateful for a new life. How do I adopt a Weimaraner? In order to adopt a dog from our Rescue Program, an adoption application must be completed. This application can be found on our website under the Rescue Section. How long does it take to adopt a Weimaraner? The length of the adoption process depends on the availability of dogs in our Rescue Program that meet your particular needs. Some Rescue dogs are placed within weeks of being received in our program. Others stay in the program for months as they recover from previous neglect or abuse. Whatever time the dog needs to be rehabilitated is determined by the individual dog. A donation of $250 is requested for each adopted Weimaraner. The donation will go to help pay for Vet & Boarding bills for the weims in rescue and to help with saving future weims.

The only rescue in the State of New Jersey dedicated to English Bulldogs, HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue is a volunteer group of bulldog lovers whose mission is to re-home bulldogs who are surrendered by their owners or find themselves otherwise without homes, landing in animal shelters or wandering the streets as strays. Volunteers provide foster care, veterinary care and rehabilitation for these needy dogs, ultimately finding them forever homes. While HeavenSent places rescued bulldogs primarily with families in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, bulldogs from the surrounding areas are rescued as well, including those in New York, Delaware, and Maryland. In 2006, HeavenSent rescued and placed more than 50 bulldogs. HeavenSent is not a shelter facility! Foster care for bulldogs in transition is provided in the private homes of HeavenSent's volunteers, who receive no compensation for their time. Many volunteers, by choice, spend their own money to provide toys, treats, food, grooming and beds for the dogs entrusted to their care. HeavenSent is not a paid network, is not affiliated (see our non-affiliation statement below) with any purebred dog club or other for-profit organization, and does not operate under any type of charitable program providing funds for veterinary care. HeavenSent relies solely on donations and fundraisers to finance veterinary exams, inoculations, medications, and surgical procedures including routine spaying/neutering as well as life-enhancing and, sometimes, life-saving surgery. Donations also help pay for food, bedding, grooming supplies, bowls, vitamins and other supplements. HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and a New Jersey Nonprofit corporation.

We Are a No-Kill Sanctuary. Currently our efforts are focused on dogs, who live safe and free here while they recover physical health and emotional harmony. All are spayed or neutered, receive appropriate veterinary care, and excellent nutrition. No cages, no chains. They have 35 snugly fenced acres on which to run and play. They are occasionally separated in large shady enclosures as may seem prudent for the safety and comfort of both the newcomers and the old-timers - an adjustment period that is usually brief, since most dogs are so fond of other dogs. As needed, they receive homeopathic and herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, and western medicines to address acute or chronic physical or behavioral symptoms. When they are ready, we help them to join new human families. Occasionally an unexpected condition such as cancer is revealed during the initial veterinary exam. Or a traumatized animal who functions joyfully in this "free" environment cannot adjust to the requirements of life as a "pet" and is considered "unadoptable." We do everything possible to help those animals achieve comfort and happiness and they live out their lives with us.

Greyhound Outreach helps move these dogs up the Eastern Seaboard and into loving homes in upstate New York. Greyhound Outreach is also dedicated to educating the public about what wonderful pet these dogs make! Affectionate, gentle, and clean, the loving greyhound is a fantastic companion. If you are interesting in adopting a greyhound, learning more about the breed, or would like to find out about our local events and/or volunteer, we invite you to explore our new website and contact us! G.O. also is extremely thankful for any donations coming into the group. Everything is for the benefit and promotion of these extraordinary dogs!

The Canine Development Center is an exciting place, where the first steps are taken toward producing a successful guide dog team: breeding, birthing, socializing, screening and placing high- potential puppies in loving, nurturing puppy raising homes. The puppies are bred to maximize the qualities required in a working guide dog and minimize any health problems that would disrupt or shorten a guide dog's working years. These are very special puppies - the result of many generations of selective breeding. Approximately half of the puppies go on to be working guide dogs. However, every pup is valued and goes on to find his or her place in the world; as a guide dog or another type of service dog, or as a loving pet in a carefully screened home.

Ohio Dog-Friendly Organizations
Greyhound Adoption of Ohio is the largest (based on number of dogs placed) and oldest (based on incorporation date) greyhound adoption organization in the state of Ohio. At the time of our inception, in 1993, greyhounds were rarely seen in Ohio. Today, you'll see greyhounds nearly everywhere you go! The word is out! Greyhounds make WONDERFUL pets! GAO receives dogs from numerous tracks around the country, but primarily from Florida , Wisconsin and Kansas . We generally have 25-30 dogs awaiting placement at any given time. Upon arrival at GAO, each dog is neutered, vaccinated, checked for parasites, heartworm tested, microchipped and has a complete dental cleaning. Anything else the future pet may need is done prior to placement. Occasionally, GAO will receive a dog with a fractured leg, an injury that is quite common in the world of greyhound racing. These dogs receive excellent care through Ohio State University 's orthopedic surgery center. Our goal, at GAO, is to place our greyhounds with loving, committed families where they will live safe and secure for the rest of their lives. To that end, GAO offers support to help your dog transition into his or her new life and throughout the life of your pet. We welcome you to the wonderful world of retired racing greyhounds! May it be as rewarding for you as it is for us!

North Coast Greyhound Connection has entered it's 3rd year and is going strong! One of our specialties is taking in special needs greyhounds. We have special foster families who care for these dogs, mostly broken limbs, until they are healed then NCGC finds them their forever home. It is very rewarding work. We also take in a large percentage of senior dogs (7 yrs. and over) to find homes for. Since a Greyhounds life span is 12-15 yrs there is still plenty of time to enjoy with these special Greys, and boy do they deserve it. There are also plenty of youngsters to be found at NCGC too! Some come straight off the track while others have been in the "Second Chance at Life" program, which is a prison training program. Once they have graduated they know "sit", "down", "shake" and other commands. Please consider adopting a Greyhound today.

I am the organizer of The Centex Great Dane Meetup, a group of Great Dane lovers who get together once or twice a month to socialize, provide advice and training and most importantly, raise money to support Great Dane rescue. I am an American Kennel Club certified dog trainer, group organizer and rescue coordinator which keeps me very busy. Recently we've conducted our monthly Meetups at the Red Bud Isle dog park which has been absolutely perfect. We handed out plastic bags for people to clean up after their dogs, we gave away tennis balls and introduced ourselves to the community, it's been fantastic. The American Kennel Club's National Responsible Dog Ownership day is coming up and the Canine Good Citizen training and test go hand in hand with the "holiday". As a certified AKC trainer I am qualified to conduct this prestigious test that promotes socially acceptable dogs. We have set up a training table to provide this beneficial community training in exchange for rescue donations! My group sells hand made dog treats, tennis balls and bottled water while I conduct several 30 minute training sessions to visiting dogs and owners. Most dog owners know about this test as many apartment complexes and pet friendly hotels require the certification before a dog can stay. We set up a discrete table, and offer our services without soliciting. We clean up after ourselves and our dogs and continue to offer the pooper scoop bags to park visitors.
