[quote=Anonymous]Maybe some people on this thread simply need clarification- it used to be that you could just go to the pound or an animal shelter and get a dog. You can still go that route.  But now there are groups that take dogs from high kill shelters, busted puppy mills, etc.,  either to a facility or to be fostered in volunteers' homes.  These groups are called "Rescues."  The people who adopt those animals aren't just using the word "rescue" to pat themselves on the back; that is the actual name of the kind of group through which they adopted their pet.

Rescues tend to use social media and the internet to "advertise" the animals they are trying to help, moreso than pounds or shelters do.  They take the animals in, spread the word that they need homes, and once the animals are adopted they can take in more from the pound, shelter, etc.  Some rescues are breed specific, so someone doing a web search for a basset hound to adopt will probably come across a basset hound rescue organization.
