Today my 13 year old daughter and I spent the day helping New Hope Cattle Dog Rescue at an adoption event sponsored by HALO Animal Rescue in Phoenix. Labradors, Greyhounds, Cattle Dogs, Chihuahuas, Papillons, Beagles, and countless adorable mixed breed dogs of all ages and sizes were represented by animal rescue groups from all over the valley. Most of the dogs at today's event live temporarily with foster families until a permanent home can be found. It can take months for that perfect home to be found by the loving volunteers of rescue groups and shelters.
These volunteers do not get paid; and this unpaid work is not easy. It takes a special kind of person to give the tremendous amount of time it takes to foster a dog. These volunteers make every effort to help rehabilitate and socialize abused dogs, or raise and socialize orphaned, rambunctious puppies or makes certain that an injured dog receive medical attention. Rescue group and shelter volunteers are dedicated, selfless and have an unwavering belief that the greatest reward for this thankless job is the honor of finding a permanent and loving home for these precious, innocent animals.
As a veterinarian I don't know any other group of people who are so wholly dedicated and compassionate to the plight, safety and care of homeless animals. It is nothing short of inspirational.
PLEASE consider adopting your first or next pet from a rescue group or shelter. There are plenty of pure-bred dogs and adorable mixed breed dogs needing a home without making a purchase from a pet store or backyard breeder.
Kindest wishes,
Dr. Jacquie

Thank you to both of you for helping out at the event. It was great talking to you about your practice and getting to know you. You both were a really big help. We had some foster dogs that were happy to be there and ready to party and some fearful dogs that weren't too sure about it. You both did a great job taking care of them and making sure they got the walks they needed.
Hope to see you again real soon.
Thanks again!

Most of these volunteers make sure you help rehabilitate in addition to play games mistreated canines, or maybe increase in addition to play games orphaned, rambunctious young puppies or maybe can make without doubt a good harmed canine get medical help.Flea Control
