American Brittany Rescue
In honor of my Brittany Spaniel, Speckles, a portion of the proceeds from this book will go to American Brittany Rescue.
American Brittany Rescue was formed in 1991 as a cooperative effort of Brittany owners, breeders, trialers and fanciers who believed they have a responsibility not only for their own dogs and the dogs they produce, but for the breed as a whole. Because many rescue dogs can be traced one to three generations back to a recognized breeder, American Brittany Rescue believes that all breeders should take it upon themselves to assist Brittanys in need, in any way they can.
The purpose of American Brittany Rescue is to take in stray, abandoned, surrendered and/or impounded purebred Brittanys, provide them with foster care, health and temperament screening, offer an opportunity for rehabilitation if necessary, assure their health and place them in new homes.
Initially, American Brittany Rescue began with about eight volunteers nationwide. In 2009, the organization noted 907 volunteers in 49 states and in Canada.
In the beginning, all volunteers had to pay for expenses for dogs in foster care and be reimbursed from the dog’s adoption donation. Today, ABR works hard to find ways to help take the financial burden of fostering away from foster families.
Years ago, volunteers had to find adopters for dogs on their own.
With the creation of the Web site, www.americanbrittanyrescue.org, networking to find new homes for Brittanys became more efficient.
Volunteers now have a swift way to advertise their foster dogs and screen applicants.
Each year, American Brittany Rescue takes in about 1,000 Brittanys.
Over the years, American Brittany Rescue has added elements that enhance their rescue mission, including: Brittany Express that helps transport dogs from where they are (when there is no one available to foster them) to safety in another state, a Senior Companion Program, a Buddy Program, an Extended Family Tree and a Senior Retreat.
Brittanys make wonderful family dogs and excel in many areas, but they are not for everyone. They are loving, active, playful, energetic dogs that require personal attention every day. If you'd like to learn whether a Brittany is a good choice for you, your family and/or your lifestyle, please see the American Brittany Rescue Web site, www.americanbrittanyrescue.org.
You can also contact American Brittany Rescue at 1-866-BRIT911.

"Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
- Saint Francis of Assisi
1181-October 4, 1226
The beloved Saint Francis had an endearing devotion and tenderness toward all animals. Throughout his life and travels, he spoke of God’s great love and care for his companions. The Feast of St. Francis is celebrated on October 4 of each year.
