Other Dog Rescue and Shelter Links
- Please consider joining Yuwie. It is free, like MySpace, but Yuwie shares their ad revenue with those who join. Many nonprofits are already taking advantage of this opportunity. A Paw Up has recently set up a profile, and now it's just a matter of inviting our friends, family, and other rescues, as a way to increase funds for the dogs. This also helps to strengthen our web presence and increase donations. Thanks for your support.
Food

Dog Food Analysis
Homestyle Select - I'm using this dog food with Copper now (my elderly Dachshund); he loves it, but then again he eats cat litter. Not the used kind although he'd like that - he ate the organic wood chip kind. And some fly bait one day. Threw it all up on both occasions. Anyway he likes this food!!
Training
Green Pups - A training option in the Seattle area. I haven't used them or even heard a review but I've emailed the man and he uses positive training methods.
