Bella and I think that this is a very good idea! Most of you live in large countries with a zillion breeders, kennels and rescue organizations and it must be a confusing task to identify the good ones! Here, in itty-bitty Denmark there are only a few rescue organizations most of them are commonly known to people who care for animals.

I am totally in favour of the idea of obtaining one's new pet from a shelter or rescue home! But I would like to contribute another thought - that one should always keep in mind one's own situation (space-, time- & moneywise) when rescuing an animal from a shelter! Otherwise one may inadvertedly turn a less than optimal situation for the animal into something worse... Or in other words: Don't let your good heart talk you into acquiring more pets than you can care for properly....! I don't think good rescue homes ever do that!

Lots of love,
Sus and Bella
