Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E. is the organization that actually "rescues" the dogs and cats from the pound. The pound now recognizes the value of the work R.E.S.C.U.E. does and gives R.E.S.C.U.E. all the animals that they can take care of. For more information about Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E., please see their website. R.E.S.C.U.E. at ASU. is the on-campus affiliate of Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E. We fundraise for Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E.

We are a basset hound rescue organization located in the metro Phoenix area of Arizona. Through our network of volunteers, we are able to provide adoptions to the entire state. Rescue means finding new homes for homeless dogs. Rescued bassets are from pounds/shelters, strays whose owners cannot be found, and those given up directly by owners who no longer want them for various reasons.

You can join R.E.S.C.U.E. at ASU by coming to one of our meetings (see the Meeting Schedule on our homepage) and filling out a Member Info form. Or if you can't make it to our next meeting, (you can volunteer without coming to our meetings), email our Vice President, Sarrah Mueller, at Sarrah.Mueller@asu.edu and tell her that you want to join.

mentioned above, the Colonial Schipperke Club is very active in finding homes for "pre-owned" Schipperkes. These are Schips who for reasons normally not of their making, have lost their people. They may be lost or stolen dogs, dogs who suffer from the deaths or divorces of their owners, or dogs who are given up for a variety of reasons by their original owners. Colonial members often provide foster care or brokering services to match up these dogs with new owners.

First of all, you will not be rescuing a Bearded Collie unless you are actually out visiting shelters or searching dog pounds. More likely you will be adopting from Bearded Collie Rescue or another organization that has rescued the dog in some manner (from kill shelters, abandoned, or even from people who advise they are taking the dog to a shelter and offering Rescue a chance to take it before they do).

ArizOTA is a professional membership organization dedicated to supporting and enhancing the occupational performance of the residents of Arizona.

the time you adopt one of our rescue Cairns, you will be asked to make a donation to CPCRN. This donation helps defray shelter fees and other costs paid to procure our Rescues, the cost of transporting them to our foster homes, the costs of providing them with food and appropriate veterinary care, including spay/neuter, immunizations, heartworm testing and prevention, and other medical and/or grooming needs as are required by the particular dogs in our program.

Researchers are trying to find out exactly why ozone has an impact on asthma and what to do about it. There's an on-site testing technique for exercise-induced asthma that screens athletes while in their natural environment. Many suffering from asthma also suffer from acid reflux. Research is underway to see if treating the GERD will ease the asthma. A theory suggests that early exposure to environmental allergens boosts the immune system and reduces the risk for asthma.

The Tibetan Terrier is a rare, mid-sized (20-25 lbs.) shaggy dog which comes in a wide variety of colors including black, white, silver, cream, golden and sable in solid, parti-color, and tri-color combinations. He is small enough to live comfortably in an apartment and share your bed or chair, yet large enough to enjoy a long hike or romp with kids. Owners often describe them as a large dog in a small dog's body.

We're a group of volunteers forming an organization whose sole purpose is to try to find homes for as many of the thousands of lost or abandoned dogs found in the Metro Atlanta county animal shelters as we can possibly manage before they are put to death. We have virtually no assets and do not solicit donations, although we are a charitable organization recognized by IRS under section 501(c)3 of the US Tax Code.

Because you are a good and caring person who wants to do something good for a dog. You are willing to open you home to a dog in need and spend time getting that dog adjusted to his new home. And you will provide that dog with love, companionship, shelter, food and take care of his or her health needs. Many people approach rescue saying that they want to do something good for dogs. There are too many dogs already and taking a rescue into their home is a way of helping.

Quite honestly, Rescue first determines if you should have any sort of dog. Then determines if a Bearded Collie is the right dog for you. Have you read our section reasons you may not want to own one ? Just as with a breeder, Rescue wants the Beardie to have a good home. They don't want to find it at the shelter again. Many of these dogs came into rescue because they ran away in the first place.

Some approach rescue as an alternative to going to a Breeder, and happily tell the rescue person or fill in an application saying "I want a rescue puppy." You should know that very rarely does rescue get a puppy under a year old. It happens of course, but with Bearded Collies it may be a years between rescue puppies. Owners tend to keep puppies inside and watch them carefully. Puppies don't have the urge to run like some adults do.

A8. Absolutely! Goldens shed a little all year round and twice a year they lose most of their coat. Anyone intent on a "hair free" home, should reconsider getting a Golden. Their coat requires brushing of at least once a week. Their hair can be long and can become matted if it isn't properly cared for. A thorough grooming to trim the hair on the paws, tail, and around the ears needs to be done on a monthly basis.
