Reading your comments makes me sooooo happy!!

PGAA has received many comments about our web site and our rescue, adoption and pet information services since our inception in 1998. We thought it may be a good idea to share some of these. I hope you agree. This page was last updated on July 2, 2008.

Regarding finding a new home for a Bernese Mountain Dog. You are wonderful! Thank you for your help! Sandie and Sam in Florida

Regarding finding a American Bulldog Breeder in Maryland. Ron, Thank you so much for your help. I'm going to look into these options and see what comes of it. I'm afraid to even try a pet store, so this should help. Thanks again! Isaiah in Maryland

Regarding saving a Chow/Shepherd mix. Thank you so very much for your response. You have given me a lot of good ideas and information. It will really help me to try and save this dog. thanks again, Jeanne from Pennsylvania

Regarding placing of an American Foxhound. Ron. Thank you so much for your support and your assistance. And for being an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Colleen in Washington State

Regarding use of photos in breed profile. Dear Ron, Thank you for considering my pictures for the Pet Guardian web site. I would be glad to let you use them. Also, congratulations for creating such an excellent idea as the PGAA! Marsha in Colorado and Texas

Regarding help in finding a missing Jack Russell. Thanks SO MUCH for all of this good information… I will get on these things right away. Shelly in Tennessee

Regarding finding a home for an abandoned Ridgeback. Dear Ron, I thought I would let you know that our son (who also has two ridgebacks) found a home for Chaco this weekend. The new owner and Chaco hit it off right away and we are very happy with the match! Thank you for your willingness to help us! Blessings, Joan in Georgia

Regarding finding owners of or new homes for stray dogs. Hi Ron, Good news! I found the owner for the two Aussie/Border Collies. Thanks to the sign on a main road and running into a bicycle rider who knew the owner as I walked the dogs! We also have a "Lost Dog Registry" at 816-333-0020. The owner used only that resource to look for her dogs so I eventually would have connected through them. Thought you might want to add this info to your list. Your information was so helpful and now I feel more confident to handle this type of situation in the future. Thanks again! Cherie from Kansas City, MO

Regarding finding a rescue for 2 MinPins.
Wow, thank you so much for all of the information. I now have much more info to reach out to people that may be able to help. The information you provided is very much appreciated. Thanks again, Lisa
Hi Ron, Just wanted to let you know that Rocky was adopted by a nice family from Longmeadow last night. I wanted to thank you for all of your help. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to find a good family for him and given his age if he had went into a shelter he may not have been adopted. Thanks you for all of your help! ~Lisa

Regarding assistance to a Florida Pig Sanctuary destroyed by fire. Thank you Ron, pigs aren't a big draw for support of any kind. And yet as i sit here typing to you covered in a big pigs ( farm pigs) wet kisses all over my clothes i am feeling perfectly content hahaha. Thank you for helping us help them and for loving them all. Janice in Canada

Regarding the listing of a rescue agency in Arizona. Ron, Thank you so much for your quick actions. Even though I am the ONLY rescue in Az listed on The Dachshund Rescue Web Page, and others are listed in multiple areas, I just picked up a rescue that was advertised as a stray on Craigslist. I contacted the family who had taken him in and offered to help if I could. This very intelligent gentleman told me that he had looked for many hours in efforts to find a no kill shelter for dachshunds who would accept a private surrender. I was right here all along, but search engines generate such a variety of anything that has anything to do with what you're looking for, its hard to see the forest for the trees. Every link to no kill shelters is an important one. You bet I will link to you on my site...just gotta send this over to the nice volunteer who is building it for me, and get her to teach me how to add links at later dates too, Ron, YOURS will be there the day the site hits the web. Thanks again. Linda in Arizona

Regarding their assistance for a PGAA breed profile. Thank you for asking to use our photos and also giving us credit for them. It is very rare in todays world that this happens, my sincerest thanks to you for this and also for the service you provide. We too are against the use of puppy mills and internet puppy traders, I was happy to see you are not shy about speaking out about this as we also do on our website. Kudos to your organization! Celeste and Péter in Hungry.
