"Why on earth would anyone want to adopt a rescue dog? After all, aren't they like used cars? Who wants someone else's problmes? If the dog is so wonderful, why would anyone give him away? If he was a stray, why didn't someone try to find him? I'd rather buy a puppy so I know what I'm getting, and besides they're so cute!..."

AMERICAN
ESKIMO RESCUE AND SANCTUARY OF IOWA
http://www.eskiedog.com
http://www.indianaeskierescue.com/index.shtml
A site which raises funds for rescue and other Eskies in need through auctions of Eskie-related items.
"Our main purpose with the EskieFriends fundraisers is to help eskies (American Eskimo Dogs) in need. We started out aiming to help just eskies, but we've branched out helping some non-eskie canine friends and even some other 4 legged friends(remember Spanky the cat?) so that we help friends OF the eskies as well as eskies themselves."
