This is a playful and purposeful journey through the world of purebred dog rescue. Through hilarious and sometimes touching stories recounted by an experienced breed rescuer, the reader discovers how to avoid the pitfalls of giving one's new dog an awful and obvious name. Adoption of dogs through private non-profit groups dedicated to one breed has not been well-known, yet is a great source for acquiring a purebred at a fraction of the cost of a puppy. The book shows where to find these groups; why their commitment is a guarantee of a great match; and how to tell if a certain breed fits their lifestyle.
