Tweet of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, my favourite link I shared goes to an article written by Karen Peak called “Choosing the Rescue Route<\/a>“. \u00a0She suggests that potential adopters be prepared (e.g. do some research on dog breeds), consider whether to go through a kennel rescue or a foster care rescue, ask themselves “Is this really a rescue?”, and avoid rescues that give guilt trips regarding dogs. A valid resource that explains that rescue is not always the ‘right’ option for everyone.<\/p>\n
