Joanne - That's a very noble and wonderful idea you've got. And I tend to ramble myself and talk in code, so I read your writing just fine!
The rescue thing is so great, let me tell you, but like everyone has said, so so expensive. The woman that runs the miniature schnauzer rescue I'm working with works two jobs (both pay excellent) just to make ends meet. She does not live the comfy life she could with both her paychecks. But that's why she does it. She loves helping these wonderful bearded animals.
Let us know what you decide to do. You've got a good heart.
