If your heart's in the right place, you understand the value of
adopting rather than buying a pet. But what if that same heart is set
on a particular breed?
"People are surprised to hear 25 percent of pets in shelters are
purebred," says Betsy Saul, founder of Petfinder.com.
It may seem like the odds of finding a particular breed in a shelter
are low, but most breeds have groups devoted to their rescue. In fact,
shelters often transfer purebreds to such groups to free up space in
their facilities.
On Petfinder.com, you can search shelters and rescue groups for 241
breeds of pet ? for the most popular dog breeds, generally thousands
are available nationwide. The American Kennel Club site lists rescue
contacts for all but seven of their 161 recognized breeds.
