Organization Links Others with Common Cause
With the Dallas/Fort Worth Canine Rescues (DFWCARES) people can post contact information for breeds, rescue organizations, coordination of transportation, lists of dogs in shelters needing help, and a meeting place while networking.
The site (dfwcares.org) contains detailed information about rescue resources in and around the Metroplex and is essentially an email group for people and members of canine rescue groups in the area and neighboring locations to help homeless dogs.
Anyone involved in canine rescue now or wanting to be in the future with the member groups to help needy canines may join.
You can apply for membership at the link.

American Brittany Rescue says Brittanys aren’t high maintenance dogs in terms of coat care and medical needs. They are not high-strung and in need of many miles of walking per day but they do require attention daily and obedience training is always recommended. Brittanys usually live 12-14 years so a commitment on the part of the owner is necessary. They are also considered”dual quality” dogs meaning that they’re good for breeding and dog shows. They can compete at many levels in many activities such as tracking and agility tests and junior showmanship (for kids).
In many states there are never enough volunteers to help all the homeless Brittanys.
