I'm glad you're involved with the petstore Ash. The thing is, it's so hard to get the spca involved around here. There've been stories on the news and on sites about how our spca went to puppy mills and obviously saw enough to decide to take all the dogs in and help them but they never did. They didn't have clean water, barely any food, malnourished, filthy yet they still didn't close them. Ughhhh

Here's my plan/goal..
I really want to become a dog trainer. After I'm all settled and when I'm taking in enough money, I'm going to try running a little independant rescue. If I can help one dog, that's good enough for me. Since I'll be (hopefully) running a centre with doggie daycare in the morning and obedience classes at the evenings, I can take the dogs with me to work. And I'll have little things that the adoptable dogs wear that say "adopt me". Lol.. So then they have exposure when other dog lovers come by...and they don't have to stay in a kennel or at a home all by themselves. They'll be with me and other dogs. Another great thing I'd like to do is include a set of obedience free when they rescue a dog.
