Dogs Hope Rescue

I got my dog, Betsy, from Dogs Hope Rescue. This was before I was involved with the Humane Society in my area. Judith, the woman who runs Dogs Hope goes around to the shelters and pulls dogs who are about to be euthanized. She began saving Pointers and now has a few smaller dogs. I saw Betsy listed on PetFinder and contacted Judith. I wanted to adopt within my county and went out to Dogs Hope to meet Betsy. Judith runs this rescue out of her home. She does this in addition to her full-time job. There's lots of wooded space around and lots of runs for the dogs. Anyway, my other dog, Blue and I went to meet Betsy and got to spend time with her without being rushed. Judith was patient and answered any and all questions. It's obvious she loves these dogs and wants the best for them. The world needs more people like this! Rescuers are a special breed of human :-)

Pros: lots of good dogs to be had here, Judith and her staff are passionate about saving dogs, they want the best owners for their dogs

Cons: a little off the beaten path
