Project Breed

Breed rescue groups help the public find homes for pets they can no longer keep or find the perfect breed for their lifestyle. Before the Project BREED Directory series, specialized rescues were almost impossible to find. A 1989 Project BREED Yellow Directory (Vol. 1, No. 1; ISBN 0-938073-02-8; $15.95) contains 1,555 rescues nationwide for 72 dog breeds & no-nonsense profiles of breed characteristics not in other dog books--a reliable, uniquely truthful insight into the "liveability" of various breeds of dogs & other pets according to a CORNELL UNIV. ANIMAL HEALTH NEWSLETTER, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSN., & other experts. Breed profiles are prepared by rescuers to reduce "revolving door" puppy sales & adoptions. DOG FANCY MAGAZINE stated: "PROJECT BREED DIRECTORY should be subtitled 'Where to Find the Good Guys.'...people who are truly devoted to their breeds." Project BREED Red Book Edition supplements Yellow Book, providing nearly 1,400 rescues nationwide for 32 different dog breeds & ferrets, rabbits, & bats; breed profiles; & national hotlines. Series for library reference recommended by DOG WORLD MAGAZINE & the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. Discount ordering forms: Project BREED, P.O.
