Who i am
My name is Emily and this is my Girl Scout Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award that can be earned by a Girl Scout. My project is raising awareness about dogs and dog rescues/shelters in San Diego County. My family fostered several dogs; consequently, I am very passionate about all animals(dogs in particular) finding loving homes.

Adopt don't shop

heart warming stories

Briefly, the phrase adopt don't shop means to adopt dogs from local rescues and shelters instead of pet stores. Many people don't know this, but most pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills; consequently, those dogs are often ridden with diseases.

Even though dogs from shelters are usually not from the unsanitary environment of a puppy mill, they still have their fair share of hardships. There are so many dogs on the streets that have gone though traumatic events and been exposed to deadly(for dogs, not humans) diseases. Many of these dogs have been treated by dog rescues and shelters and made miraculous recoveries.
