All over our country, there are rescue shelters who need our help to continue their efforts to house homeless pets and give them a chance for a future filled with love. There are many ways we can help our rescue shelters: Adopt a rescue shelter dog; donate money, time or resources; foster a rescued dog; shop at the many online rescue shelter stores where a portion of the sales go toward the cost of feeding, housing and providing medical care for the dogs.Click on the links below for information about each rescue shelter and the many ways you can help:A Better Place Rescue: MI Adopt A Dog: Greenwich, CT Animal Care Society: Louisville, KY Animal Farm Foundation: Bangall, NY Animal Rescue League of El Paso: El Paso, TX  BAD RAP: Oakland, CA  Best Friends Animal Sanctuary : Kanab, UT Big Apple Bullies: NY Friends of Retired Greyhounds: CO Give a Dog a Bone: San Francisco, CA Great Plains Mastiff Rescue: OK Heart and Soul Animal Sanctuary: Glorieta, NM Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus Kindred Spirits: Santa Fe, NM Mike’s Dog House: FL Mississippi Valley German Shepherd Dog Rescue Muttville: San Francisco, CA Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue: GA Paws in the City Animal Rescue: Dallas, TX Posh Pets Rescue
