B. Animal Rescue
Each year, millions of animals who need a forever home end up in rescue groups and shelters, including kill shelters, across the country. But you can make a difference. Adopt your next dog or cat; don't buy one, especially not from a pet store that is supplied by a puppy mill. Many rescues offer transport from one location to another, so don't let distance stand in the way of your new best friend. The fees are more than reasonable and usually include a full vet check, medical treatment, and spaying or neutering.
You may be able to tell that I love dachshunds just as Willow McQuade and Jackson Spade do! I grew up with a dachshund named Snipsi and love them madly. In 2015, my elderly dachshund Holmes died, and I dedicate this book to him.
Today, both of my dachshunds, Wallander, six, and Murdoch, six months, came from a wonderful organization called All American Dachshund Rescue (
www.allamericandachshundrescue.org
). If you are interested in a particular breed, you can find any dog you'd like to adopt. Just put the breed of dog you are interested in in your search engine and include the word
rescue
. Or look for a breed rescue in your area. Mutts make wonderful pets, too, and so do cats and many other animals.
Remember that when you adopt a rescue, you are saving two lives, that of the pet you adopt and that of the new animal you make a space for to be rescued and given a better tomorrow.
