There are more than 13,000 animal shelters in the United States, and each year approximately four million dogs are turned in to these shelters. Only thirty-five percent of these dogs are adopted out; thirty-one percent are euthanized. Those dogs that are fortunate enough to be adopted--many of them saved from certain death--are termed "rescue dogs." There are a vast number of rescue organizations in the United States, and the volunteers working with them number in the thousands. Author Patrick's Metro's wife, Mary Ellen, is one of those rescue workers.
