by Lee Juslin

The Inside Story of Breed Rescue
by Lee Juslin
As a child, Erica Cerny and her father began an informal pet rescue. When Erica would find a lost dog or cat, she would bring it home and her father would work to reunite the pet with its owners. With that beginning, it’s no wonder that as an adult, Erica turned to volunteering in pet shelters.

Take a Chance on Me
by Lee Juslin
Allie, a three-and-a-half year old Scottie, was turned back to her breeder when the owner lost his wife and had to move in with his daughter. The daughter already had dogs so there was no room for Allie. Allie had one of her rear legs amputated due to an accident when she was a puppy. However, she gets along very well.

Happy Go Lucky Wheaties
by Lee Juslin
Breydon, a five-month-old Wheatie, came into Greater NY/NJ Scottie Rescue from a Mennonite puppy mill. Like so many puppy mill dogs, he has a genetic defect in that he has no knee joint in a rear leg. To make matters worse, he was kept in a cage preventing the leg muscles from strengthening. Consequently, he was dragging his leg when he came into rescue.

Don Diego, a Sweet Senior
by Lee Juslin
When we think of breed rescue organizations, we think of dogs being saved from public shelters, unsuitable home situations, or turned in when owners pass away. Col. Potter Cairn Rescue, the largest national breed rescue in the country, like most rescues, does far more.

Grumpy Granny is Really a Sweetie
by Lee Juslin
A senior Cairn girl, Minuet is a true Cairn princess, according to her foster mom, Linda. “She is happy when things go her way,” says Linda. “But, she growls a warning when I disturb her sleep or try to do something she is not on board with.” That’s OK with Linda, an experienced foster mom who is used to terrier-tude. However, she does sometimes call Minuet “Grumpy Granny.”
