Anyone who knows me, or even anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis, can tell you, I am a huge advocate of dog rescue.
I absolutely respect, honour, and salute the many dedicated and responsible breeders out there who truly love and therefore strive to better their chosen breed, but the sad truth is that there are far more irresponsible breeders who are only in it for a quick buck. Greed and the Internet have helped this particular “breed” thrive in the past few years, resulting in a plethora of unhealthy canines with both physical and psychological difficulties — and uninformed, unprepared owners who decide a “do over” is in order, dropping these poor unwanted souls off at humane societies, shelters and rescue organizations in record numbers before starting the cycle all over again.
Of course there are other reasons why dogs end up in rescue, but the fact remains that these organizations are unable to keep up with all of those in such dire need, and so many dogs . . . far too many . . . are losing their lives because of it.
That’s why dog rescue is so close to my heart.
That is why I scour local dog rescue organizations each week to choose one dog to feature in The Waggery’s Good Dog Blog in the hopes that someone will see that wonderful, lost soul, feel a connection, and investigate that feeling a little further.
Donating proceeds from The Waggery’s Pampered Paws Dog Treats wasn’t feeling like enough of a contribution either, so I’ve decided that some FREE dog treats are also in order.
Here’s the deal:
If someone adopts one of the The Good Dog Blog’s featured Adoptable Dog of Week, let me know (either comment on that post or email me at The Waggery @ gmail so we can begin a correspondence) and once a month, for six months after the adoption has been successfully completed and verified, you will receive a free bag of The Waggery’s healthy, all-natural Pampered Paws Dog Treats – delivered right to your door!
