One of the most admirable things an animal lover can do is help unwanted dogs find a loving home, and there are many folks devoting themselves to doing just that. We've decided to do our small part by adding a new feature to The Straight Poop...the Rescue Site of the Week.

Harmless enough, right? Wrong, if Rover or Fido gets into them, or if you prescribe them without your vet's input, irreparable damage can be done. Be careful, out there, folks.
