Pet Network, San Francisco Bay Area
Pet Network writes: "All our dogs are spayed or neutered and current on all shots. Almost all live in nurturing foster homes and are socialized with people, children and other pets. Some of our foster parents are dog trainers, so often there is the extra benefit of some obedience training while in the foster home. The dogs come to us many times due to situations and living conditions caused by abusive or irresponsible owners. Mainly they suffer from that 'most terrible disease,' in the words of Mother Teresa, 'of being unwanted.' "

Most of our dogs come from animal shelters all over central California, where thousands of dogs are euthanized every month. Because the shelters are oftentimes very full, many loving, adoptable dogs are euthanized. After the dogs are rescued, we place them in foster homes until we can find them a permanent home. Because we have already placed them in a home environment, we can tell you about their habits and house manners and whether they get along well with other dogs, cats, and children. Our dogs also have a thorough check up by our veterinarians before being placed and are bathed, groomed and have flea treatments to get them ready for their new home. For more information, please check the Small Dog Rescue website.
