You may notice a distinct lack of sensationalism and heart-tugging buzzwords. And intriguingly, many of the people volunteering in this case don\u2019t hate dog breeders \u2013 in fact, many of the rescuers are breeders themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you read that right. Given the way in which so many conversations about dog breeders and rescues are framed, it may come as a surprise that many of the earliest rescue groups were run by or in coordination with breeders and breed groups \u2013 but that is the history. Today, while it is not highly publicized, there are still countless breeders and breed groups (every AKC parent breed club) doing that same good work. And there are good reasons for this.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from fostering and rehoming dogs, breed groups have the additional benefit of knowing their community, which can help solve problems before they spin out of control. In addition, their experience with the health and behavioral quirks of their favorite breed(s) makes them exceptionally valuable in both fostering as well as finding ideal adoptive homes.<\/p>\n<p>This labor of love by the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Trust is a case study of the tight coordination and tireless volunteerism that is vital when your community is suddenly faced with 100+ dogs needing homes. We salute them!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1697\" src=\"http:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NAIALogoTransparent-300x135.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NAIALogoTransparent-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NAIALogoTransparent-768x347.png 768w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NAIALogoTransparent-1024x462.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This labor of love by the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue Trust is a case study of the tight coordination and tireless volunteerism that is vital when your community is suddenly faced with 100+ dogs needing homes.
