From the Dog Food Adviser
Dog Lovers - Regarding the FDA's ongoing investigation of arsenic in rice, the Agency now warns consumers to "eat a balanced diet... to minimize any potential consequences from consuming any one particular food". And to "diversify your grain consumption to include grains other than rice". That's what the FDA says to us humans. But what about our dogs? Many of our pets DO eat the same rice-based recipe, meal after meal, 365 days a year. Are you concerned about this? For more on this controversial issue, please visit this link. http://

Our announcement.
Because we have two wonderful dogs
for adoption, one for over a year, the other four months plus, we are no longer
taking in dogs.
How could this be?
It is because of the numerous shelters and rescues in the Spokane/CDA areas that are importing dogs from as far away as California. Yes, any nut case can adopt one from the shelter, and some rescues, with no questions asked. We don’t do that. The dogs in our rescue depend on us to find them forever-wonderful loving homes.

Because of the ease of bringing
them in from out of area, the small cute dogs, that have no problems that they
know of, it’s easy to adopt them quickly.
The trouble with this is that many
great small rescues can no longer take dogs, for they are rescues, not
sanctuaries.
The rescues and shelters will take
the brunt of these dogs. Maybe they
have health, house training, or personality issues. All of which can be fixed, with time and proper training. It is the issues of ( (I WANT A DOG NOW AND
I WANT THE DOG TO BE PERFECT!) with no questions asked of the adopters, that is
hurting the already over saturation of small dogs in this area, that is causing
this burden on SCRAPS and on rescues.
We will continue our other work,
of transport, networking, answering questions and doing everything we can,
including this newsletter, to help make every dogs life better!
Sometimes the Universe directs
thing in ways that we don’t understand.
Please adopt LOCAL DOGS!
So another Mothers Day is upon us. To you, an heartfelt thank you to all of you Pet Mom's AND Dad's for caring for and loving the helpless!
