This isn't one of those changes that can save the world. But it will save a deserving animal -- which could make a world of difference to its life, and to yours. In the United States alone, about seven million unwanted dogs and cats are euthanised each year. Can you open your heart and your home to just one? Read how at Lighter Footstep.

Google your breed!

Not long ago we were looking for a miniature Schnauzer for a friend. Someone told me there was a rescue shelter near our home. When I Googled "miniature Schnauzer rescue" there were hundreds of shelters listed! I narrowed to North Carolina and had quite a few. There was one within a 1/2 hour of our house. I would bet you can do the same with just about any breed.
If you want a pet, please

If you want a pet, please don't spend lots of money on one when there are so many lovely pets in shelters. Even if you want a particular breed, you could probably make a couple of phone calls and get just what you want.
Joy of Adopting a Pet
Our last two dogs were both adopted from families who couldn't keep them anymore. It was a wonderful experience to save these dogs and a blessing to our family to have them!
