Gerri - I wish our list was as long as yours. We work solely with a PB All Breed Rescue Network. Most breeds are listed and many are not. I have to agree with Gerri, we do not receive as much support from rescue as we would like. I remember waiting for days to hear back from a rescue group on a 3 month old puppy with irreversible behavioral damage from a puppy mill. We never heard back from them after repeated attempts to reach them. Like you, we see more mixed breeds that purebreds; however, that is changing. We have seen an increasing number of PB puppies and young adults, from pet stores and breeders. We are in one of the richest counties in our state and with that comes owners with disposable incomes and "disposable" animals. Good news, is we have YET to see a Cavalier. We have had a few Cavalier mixes though. Sadly, this will change. I have seen more ads for Cavaliers in the paper and puppies in pet stores these past few months, which is never good. I think many of you would be surprised to hear the heartbreaking stories we get, when someone relinquishes a pet. Unfortunately, our shelter has not yet been able to locate an All Breed Rescue that will take our mixed breeds.

Of all those listed, there are only a handful of purebred rescues that will come consistently when called. Off the top of my head, I can think of only 4 (Golden Retriever Rescue, Doxie Rescue, Min Pin Rescue and Bassett Hound Rescue) that come every single time we call, no questions asked, and will take the dog regardless of age, health, or temperament. Cavalier Rescue is wonderful, but lets face it, how many Cavaliers end up routinely in animal shelters??!! From a rescue standpoint, far more mixed breed dogs and puppies leave my shelter with volunteers from the 2 local "All Breed" rescues than all the purebred rescues combined.
