All three go for doggie day care at Animal House every few weeks to keep them familiar with the volunteers and the employees. The rescue uses the money to fund the rescue and we know the pups are in great hands. It's a win for us, our dog family, and the rescue.

I did the same thing on LI, took them to the rescue group for grooming (I only get puppy cuts, nothing fancy). Most of the time if I had to travel I would try to take them, if not I boarded them at the rescue. Girl Scouts working on badges would come in and play with them. I always left something of mine from home with them. Figured they'd think that even if I dumped them I'd surely be back for my pillow-LOL.

I preferred giving the money to the rescue group. I figured that if Save-a-Pet could save them then they should be able to take care of them for a few days.
