Big Dog Rescue is based in Sonoma County, California and works to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and other tough situations. Before adoption, the dogs are taught social skills and basic obedience as well as getting microchipped, vaccinated and neutered.
Why does it appeal to me?
Big Dog Rescue is where my sister Emily got her one-of-a-kind dog Honey. She's a labradoodle but looks like a wolf terrier. [Happy birthday, Emily!]
Honey the magnificent
They have a big ranch and rescue dogs from life threatening situations. What more can you ask for in a rescue organization? Oh, that 100% of donations going to taking care of the dogs. That's pretty great. And oh my goodness do they have some adorable adoptable dogs.

I just learned about the Rescue Pledge, have you made it? It shows your support for rescue dogs, your intent to avoid breeders and "pet store puppies" and your commitment to report animal abuse. I'm in! But only 4,000 people have pledged. That should be 4 million! Let's spread the word.

Did this series prompt you to donate to any of the organizations featured, or look for other organizations that accept microdonations, contribute in another way or volunteer? I would love to know in the comments (which you can access even if not registered user).
