There are a lot of rescues that deal with dogs and/or cats locally. These 'smaller' rescues (as opposed to placed like Best Friends, Pet Finder, shelters) sometimes are known at their own vets. When I worked at a vet people ALWAYS asked if we knew of anyone with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, etc. We had a rolodex for rescues in the area.
Going to your vet, wherever you live, is a great way to help rescues!!
A lot of rescues will contact vets and put up fliers. This is a great way for them to find homes for their rescues.
PetCo and PetSmart and like stores also have weekend rescue "fairs"....this is an excellent way to find a critter to love.
GREAT idea, Karen. You'd be surprised at how many people DON'T have any idea how to get a rescued or quality bred animal.
