Thank you for the email about Maddie's new home, Phred. That's a great idea for her new owners to know that Maddie has many friends across north america & overseas.
That's a good phrase...'Rescue on the Net'. I'm so proud of my wonderful fellow Pet Talkers who are always ready to help dogs down on their luck.

Just out of interest, I'm part of a network of rescuers in Australia called OzDogRescue. People volunteer to be listed with the ways they can help with transport of rescue dogs. Go to this site & click on listing of volunteers (I'd tend to keep this info offline for privacy)

People knowing a dog needing rescue can locate a rescuer by breed, by state or by organization at the main OzDogRescue site. Go to this site & click on 'Rescue people to contact.'

All the people who are involved in rescue talk with each other on an OzDogRescue mailing list. It's necessary to apply to the Co-ordinator of the OzDogRescue site in order to be part of this list. This gives privacy & focus to what's discussed on the list.
Many dogs owe their lives to this network & list.
