JUNE. . .it's full of dog-events, and training classes are full as well. Summertime training is always popular, and with less families going on vacations this year, getting out and about with the dogs is a great way to relax and spend your free time.
The weather is beginning to warm up this month, however. Train safe in the heat; please view the article to your right for some helpful tips on keeping your dogs safe this summer.
Sincerely,

Featured Rescue
The Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation
The IGRF is a non-profit organization with volunteers nationwide dedicated to re-homing Italian Greyhounds who have been abandoned at animal shelters, taken from abusive/neglectful homes, or surrendered to animal rescues. Our rescue dogs are fostered in loving homes where their health and temperament are evaluated (and improved when possible) while they await adoption. Adoption applicants are screened thoroughly to ensure a good match for each dog as well as the adoptive family.
What can you do to help?
VOLUNTEER!
We are in desperate need of volunteers to help in ways both great and small.
ADOPT!
We have lots of IG's available for adoption and more constantly coming into rescue.
DONATE!
We operate solely from donations and any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you have questions or may be interested in helping out, please contact your local rescue rep at md.ig.rescue@gmail.com
or 443-520-6994 for more information.

Safety Tips
The Hidden Dangers of Summer
By: Dawn Rexrode |
. . .the biggest danger to our pets during the summer may be something you can't see, smell, or hear. Heat stroke is a common occurrence in dogs. Most people won't recognize the early warning signs that a dog is suffering from heat exhaustion, which if left untreated, leads to heat stroke and ultimately death.
Please remember some basics first and foremost. If YOU'RE hot, they are even hotter. Providing outdoor dogs with shade and shelter regardless of temperature and fresh cool water is also extremely important in hot, humid weather.
If you absolutely HAVE to leave dogs outside for any reason for ANY length of time:
* Make sure you place a large water bucket in a shaded area and hook them to something in order to prevent tipping.
* Leave a garden hose running at a trickle into the buckets to ensure a constant supply of fresh water in the event the bucket water gets too hot, or tipped over.
* If you can, place an inexpensive child's wadding pool, with several inches of water, in a shady area for the dog to access.
* Shade can be made very quickly and inexpensively by purchasing a plastic tarp at your local hardware store and attaching it to fencing, kennel runs, even a tree branch.
* Fans can be another way to keep dogs cool, but is no replacement for any of the above.
