Be aware that  animals, regardless of species, should be current on their Rabies vaccinations.This will avoid quarantine if any of your animals or live stock have been exposed to the virus. Wildlife that have been infected with the rabies virus can travel far and wide, and the Colorado Front Range Area needs to be aware that the rabies virus is out there.   http://blogs.douglas.co.us/newsroom/2010/03/18/rabies-confirmed-in-douglas-county-skunk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please spay and neuter your pets. It's healthier for your pets and prevents the needless euthanasia of animals. The fact is, there are more pets being born than there are people to adopt them. It's the right thing to do. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The economy has affected nonprofits nationwide. Our donations are down, but the number of dogs in need is up. All Breed Rescue Network is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your donations are welcome and tax deductible. Thank you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  FOSTER HOMES ARE URGENTLY NEEDED! Most rescue dogs (surrendered by owners or transferred to us from animal shelters) are placed in a foster home prior to adoption. Most of the rescue groups are inundated with dogs right now and sometimes have to turn away dogs because there is no place for them to go (unlike animal shelters, we do not have a brick and mortar facility in which to temporarily kennel dogs). Besides, the foster home can help with housetraining, if needed, and observe the dog's personality and behavior to help match the dog with the most appropriate home. If you would like to foster, please contact the rescue group for the breed(s) of dogs you are most interested in and offer your services. Foster homes are urgently needed! For more information, please go to the "How You Can Help" page. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“He is your friend, your partner,
your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true,
to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy
of such devotion.”  Unknown
