FROM THE FOUNDERSWith the new season this time of year always brings in a feeling of change. It’s like a second start to New Year’s resolutions in a way… must be the ushering in of nice weather.
With all the change in weather, we have a lot of new things to share with you guys in this issue too.
The inaugural NW Arkansas Food Festival is happening in June and celebrity chef Carla Hall is co-hosting and judging the tasting event. When we got to sit down with Carla, we instantly felt a connection! She is so real and personable and even shared her favorite biscuit recipe with us. You can read all about her (and the recipe) here.
The food festival is part of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G that’s happening June 22-28 at Pinnacle Country Club. We got the inside scoop with top players like Stacy Lewis and Morgan Pressel and can’t wait to see these ladies in action.
We’re most excited about the new addition of the food & drinks portion of the LPGA, especially since we now consider Carla to be our new best friend. We promised to take her to meet one of our most favorite Northwest Arkansas women while she’s in town: Amy Hannon, owner of Euna’s Maes. You can get a glimpse inside Amy’s busy life here, and we encourage everyone (especially visitors) to stop in her Springdale shop if you haven’t already done so.
We’ve been so lucky to have a great staff, but even more so with our sweet college interns this year. They’ve written articles in this issue and even modeled for us in “Dressing Like A Pro.” Leave it these beauties to show you how to look stylish while showing off your skills on the tennis court.
If you want to know what to wear when you’re not working out, check out our It List. There’s so much more to share, but you’ll have to flip through the magazine to find out more… and if you want to keep up with all that’s happening in Northwest Arkansas, be sure to sign up for our email newsletter on 3wmagazine.com.

With Northwest Arkansas’ nonprofits hosting terrific philanthropic events almost every weekend, winter seemed to fly by. To kick off 2015, the MLK Council of Northwest Arkansas held its annual Recommitment Banquet, featuring guest speakers and former Razorback athletes, Keith Jackson and Scotty Thurman.
January also included the Boys & Girls Club of Benton County’s annual Texas Hold’em Tournament and the Literacy Council of Benton County’s Scrabble Wars. We finished out the month at the Cherokee Casino with the Teen Action & Support Center’s All in for Teens gaming event and Susan G. Komen-Ozark’s Race for the Cure Kick-off Party where patrons were encouraged to “Participate. Advocate. Donate. For the 1 in 8.”

On the very same night we celebrated seven years of publishing in Northwest Arkansas with the annual 3W Magazine party at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. After a run-off between the Sunshine School and Development Center and Youth Bridge Inc. for “Best nonprofit in Northwest Arkansas,” Youth Bridge took home the $3,000 prize. In February, there were a record number of events to enjoy with your sweetheart. The Jackson L. Graves Foundation hosted a sold out Ooh, La! La!—a chocolate and wine pairing event with Chef Miles James of James at the Mill and Jason Willems of Diamond Beverages. Havenwood’s Angel Gala raised more than $80,000 for the transitional housing program for single parents and children.
The Sheep Dog Impact Assistance honored our nation’s military and first responders with dinner and dancing at the Charity Ball and the Chase Family Foundation celebrated Mardi Gras with its Chase the Blues Away event. A few days later, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation hosted its annual NWA Wine Opener, which raised $230,000 and Trike Theatre invited patrons to Laughter & Libations where Phunbags Comedy Show entertained guests.

David Badeen from Sam’s Club earned the right to kiss the pig for raising the most funds for the organization. The Mercy Family YMCA hosted its Father Daughter Princess Ball and Life Styles Inc. celebrated the organization’s success stories, staff and donors at the Celebration of Possibilites Luncheon. The March madness ended with the Miller McNeil Woodruff Foundation’s annual Cupcake & Cocktails affair, which celebrated the birthday of Miller as well as all that the foundation has accomplished.
As the weather warms up and [hopefully] the sun is here to stay, Springtime in Northwest Arkansas looks to be filled with plenty of philanthropic events. Stay up to date on www.3wmagazine.com.

T here’s nothing quite like standing up in the
stands (or down at the rail if you’re lucky)
watching the horse hooves come charging down the
dirt. For my 18th birthday this is how I wanted to cel-
ebrate, so I invited my closest friends to spend a day
at the races at Oaklawn Jockey Club with me. I was so
excited because I was finally at the eligible betting age.
As a native of White Hall, I have great memories of grow-
ing up going to the races with my family. The day my par-
ents took my friends and me to Hot Springs, it was abso-
lutely beautiful outside. In honor of our day at the races we
decided to be over-the-top fashionable and wear cute sun-
dresses with big hats to complete our wardrobes. Since
Oaklawn is famous for its corned beef sandwich and bread
pudding, we opted for a fantastic lunch at The Carousel, lo-
cated just upstairs inside the gates. The restaurant is casu-
al but has a great collection of authentic antique carousel
horses and music boxes that are a must-see.
After an eventful day, the races were coming to an
end and I noticed a very familiar name on the big
screen and scoreboard outside – it was mine. That
name was mine. My friends and I were quickly sum-
moned down to the racetrack to present the winner
with a trophy. It was such a memorable moment be-
cause my parents had the race named in honor of my
18th birthday. After a fun day and big surprise, I also had
a souvenir to take home – my name was printed in the
programs as awarding the trophy on my birth-
day. It was one of the biggest surprises of my
life and a great experience that I’ll never forget.

Bartus’ Tips & Tricks

garden partyBartus Taylor, owner of Buzz Events, puts together a garden party table setting.
Bartus’ Tips & Tricks
• Keep the china and napkins light so they can be a blank canvas for the food
• Don’t put anything on the table (stemware or utensils) that won’t be used
• The addition of a flower bud at each setting completes the look
• Add candles to transition the table to evening
Bartus recommends mixing geometric shapes with floral elements in the Spring & Summer seasons. Keep your table settings clean for a fresh, cool and light effect.

Carla Hall
It’s not everyday we get to pick the brain of a celebrity chef, or even
get to write that one will be coming to Northwest Arkansas, so having
the opportunity to chat with Carla Hall, previous contestant on Bravo’s
Top Chef and now co-host of ABC’s The Chew, is truly a treat. Taste of
NW Arkansas, a new event in conjunction with the Walmart NW Arkansas
Championship presented by P&G, will be a foodie’s dream come true
complete with none other than the queen of soul food, Carla Hall.
A native of Nashville, Tenn., you can’t talk to Carla without learning about
the connection she has to her family, the food and the culture in the South.
Carla is fun, bubbly and someone you immediately feel like you have known
your whole life—she has that southern charm. Not surprisingly, she is just
as electric in person as she is on TV; therefore, we are officially claiming
her as our new bestie.
We sat down to ask Carla about her favorite eats, her newfound success and
her excitement about being a co-host at the inaugural Northwest Arkansas’
Food Festival.

COVER STORY
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT LIVING IN THE SOUTH? I miss the people. Southerners are open and you never meet a stranger. Everyone is so friendly. It makes everything that much nicer, whatever you do.
WHAT IS YOUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SOUTHERN DISH TO PREPARE? Biscuits. They remind me of my grandmother and her rolling pin, and one of the first things that I mastered. I can tell from afar if a biscuit is going to be good or not. There is nothing like a good biscuit. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SOUTHERN DISH TO DEVOUR?There are so many! I love smothered chicken. I am a typical southerner who loves gravy.
WHITE OR BROWN GRAVY? White gravy: I like a traditional milk gravy with a little white wine.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE YOUR MOTTO “COOKING WITH LOVE?”It takes me back to my grandmother’s table, to Sunday suppers when I was growing up. It’s what I want to give to other people when I’m making them food just like my grandmother gave to me. So for me, it’s really about paying that “love” forward from my grandmother.
HAVING BECOME A SUCCESSFUL CHEF AND NOW A TV HOST ON ABC’S, THE CHEW, HOW WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE OTHER WOMEN TO BECOME EMPOWERED TO REACH FOR THEIR DREAMS? My mantra since I was about 23 years old has been to love what I do. I never took a job I didn’t like. My mother always said that it’s your job to be happy, not to be rich and I took that to heart. So it starts with doing something that you love because if you love what you do, you don’t mind putting in the time to become really good at it. I also think, you shouldn’t apologize for everything. Women have a tendency to apologize because they are nurturers. If you believe in it, don’t apologize. Find a nurturing balance without apologizing.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CAREER SO FAR? When I get to do things like be in the Broadway production of Newsies. I also danced with The Rockettes and when I saw the piece, I cried. Things like that make me go, “wow I would never get to do that in a million years.” HAS YOUR SUCCESS CHANGED YOU IN ANYWAY? IF SO, HOW? I like to think that it hasn’t. My friends always say, “you’re still the same, you are so goofy!” But success has given me an opportunity to talk to more people and I get to use my success as a platform to do good for others. I have always been involved in nonprofits and giving back, but now I expect more of myself because of the platform that I have. I have changed in that way. I often ask myself, “Am I doing enough?”

COVER STORY
WHAT NONPROFITS DO YOU WORK WITH? I do a lot for D.C. Central Kitchen in Washington D.C., creating meals for the homeless and food recovery programs. Since living in New York City, I have started working with the Pajama Program. We give books and pajamas to kids in shelters. I am also involved in the Let’s Move Initiative with Michelle Obama to teach kids to be their own advocate when it comes to healthy eating.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT BEING A SPECIAL GUEST AND JUDGE AT NORTHWEST ARKANSAS’ INAUGURAL FOOD FESTIVAL: TASTE OF NW ARKANSAS? Being in Arkansas— it’s my first trip! And being in a space where all the food is going to be food that I love from my childhood.
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR JUDGING STYLE, WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF MORE LIKE SIMON COWELL OR PAULA ABDUL ON AMERICAN IDOL CIRCA 2002?I am more like Paula Abdul because I empathize with the people making the food. Judging someone’s creation is hard because it’s very personal and I am mindful of that. Sometimes I can feel the energy from the dish—I can feel the love. If there is heart in it, but it is not the perfect dish, I will pick the dish with the heart. You have to cook with love; don’t cook for a score or to win. If you love it, I will too!
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WANTING TO BECOME A CHEF/GO INTO THE FOOD BUSINESS? First thing, you need to learn and understand the craft and technique of cooking. It is very important to understand the classic way of doing things. Then you need to understand your palette— what you like and what you don’t like. That is your most important tool. Once you understand that you can adjust and change your dishes to reflect your preferences. You have to learn about balancing the nuances in flavor.
WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO COMFORT FOOD? I like beans, greens and cornbread. It’s what makes me feel warm and cozy.
Women have a tendency to apologize because they are nurturers. If you believe in it,
don’t apologize. Find a nurturing balance without
apologizing.

COVER STORY
WHAT WAS THE BEST PART ABOUT BEING ON TOP CHEF? I loved the camaraderie with the other contestants. Also, you learn a lot about yourself—your stresses, how tenacious you are or not. You learn how to push through and never give up. I learned that when the going got tough, I got going.
IF YOU WERE NOT A CHEF WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? I love theatre. I wanted to be an actress for the longest time and I think that I still have time!

Biscuits are all about feel— how good they make you feel when you inhale one warm and how you need to get a feel for the dough to perfect them. As a caterer, I relied on my
mixers and other appliances to turn out huge batches of food. But biscuits, I always did by hand— the way Granny taught me. To cut the shortening and butter into the flour, you should use your fingers. I add the fats separately because you want to mash the shortening in to evenly distribute through the flour, but the butter should be just flattened into flour-coated paper-thin disks. The shortening makes the dough tender throughout and the butter creates the
flaky layers. Once you add the buttermilk, you have to work the dough gently so that it doesn’t get tough. If you follow those steps, your first batch of biscuits will be great. If you keep making biscuits, you’ll start to master the motions and the dough and they’ll get better each time. I can’t imagine this will be a one-time project for anyone because biscuit making is just so fun. I love the feeling of sticky dough all over my hands. Almost as much as I love the feeling of splitting a biscuit’s perfectly crusty sides to release the steam from the tender, buttery center before popping both halves in my mouth.
1. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, baking soda, thyme and parmesan. Add the shortening and use your fingertips to pinch it into the flour to form small, pea-size pieces.3. Drop the cold butter into the flour-shortening mixture and toss until all of the cubes are coated. With your fingertips, press the cubes to completely flatten them. Freeze the mixture in the bowl for 15 minutes.4. Reserve 1 tablespoon buttermilk in a small bowl and add the
remaining to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough forms a shaggy ball and there are no dry bits of flour left. The dough should be slightly sticky.5. Lightly coat your work surface with nonstick cooking spray, then flour. (The spray keeps the flour in place.) Transfer the dough to the work surface and lightly dust the top with flour. Lightly coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough with the heels of your hands to form it into a smooth ball. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. With a floured 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out dough rounds. Flip
the rounds over so that the smooth sides that were against the work surface face up and place on the pan, spacing the rounds 1 inch apart. Gently gather the scraps and roll and cut again. Refrigerate the rounds until cold, about 15 minutes.6. While the rounds are chilling, preheat the oven to 450°F.7. Stir the melted butter into the reserved buttermilk and brush onto the tops of the biscuits. Bake, without opening the door, until the tops are golden brown and crisp, about 16 minutes.8. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving the biscuits hot.

COVER STORY
I make my biscuits small because that’s the proportion of crust to center that I like. Also, I feel like I can eat more of them that way! Of
course, you can cut your biscuits larger if you’d like. Just bake them a little longer.
You must, must serve biscuits hot or warm.
Depending on your entertaining schedule, you can either make them through step 3 or through
step 5 up to a day ahead.

HOURS WITH
9:45AM Time to open Euna Mae’s! I love getting there and turning on the lights, opening the blinds, and lighting candles. I remember dreaming about being a shop owner and being smitten with the thought of opening each morning. It’s still magical in my heart every time!
7:00AM I start my days with coffee, my Bible, and my task list. Yes, I still write my task list because I love pen and paper! My hubs is usually gone early in the mornings, so I make breakfast for my 14-year-old Isaac and take him to school (I love being in the car with my kids!). I get my bearings on the day ahead...and I transition into business mode!
11:00AM I set up my mobile office on the Euna Mae’s kitchen island and answer email, sort through packing lists, update the EM’s calendar, and assign store duties to my shop girls. I merchandise the store while I’m there. And I love visiting with EM’ customers! They truly mean the world to me!

4:00PM School’s out! I pick up Isaac every day and go home. This particular day we are getting geared up for Spring Break mission trips! So we have a busy night ahead! I start laundry, make lists, and check my end-of-day numbers and inventory levels at Euna Mae’s.
7:00PM We get Slim Chickens and gas our tanks (boys are so handy!) then we run through Walmart getting all of the things on their pack lists! Shopping with my boys is so different than shopping with Grace. We got exactly what we needed and left...no extra food or swim suit cover-up or earrings that we didn’t need!
9:00PM I move laundry, check off the packing lists, and stir up a batch of Texas Firecrackers and homemade chocolate chip cookies to send with my kids on their trips. I Instagram, email, and order product while the cookies bake!
11:00PM Kitchen cleaned and closed for the night! I think through tomorrow and tell the Lord I’m thankful for today.
6:00PM I get my 37th call from Grace for the day. She’s my college student and favorite girl in the world. We talk. A lot.

This past January, LPGA golf professional
Brooke Pancake announced a partnership
with the breakfast giant Waffle House. While
the rivalry between pancakes and waffles
holds fast, the partnership between Brooke
and the Waffle House is seemingly a perfect
match—garnering the public’s attention
and starting some friendly breakfast table
debates. We sat down with Brooke to talk
more about this new relationship.
June 22-28, 2015www.NWAChampionship.com
The partnership with Waffle House has gained
an amazing amount of attention. Have you been
surprised by the publicity?
I have been ecstatic by all of the attention! Who knew
Pancakes and Waffles could go together so well? Haha!
This partnership has been so much fun since the first
day we publicly announced our working relationship.
What I didn’t know was just how many people just love
the brand everywhere I go. I couldn’t be more excited
to show off my one-of-a-kind Waffle House bag each
week.
What’s it been like since the announcement?
How do you feel about all the attention?
It has been great! Waffle House is the ideal partner. It’s
been fun to meet customers and employees of Waffle
House stores in cities where the LPGA plays and share
our favorite Waffle House stories with them. I don’t
mind all of the attention at all, after all, with the last
name, “Pancake,” I have heard every joke and com-
ment possible. It’s nice to now hear some that involve
Waffle House. All of the LPGA fans are having a lot of
fun coming up with more nicknames for me too.
They even have their own hashtag—Are you lik-
ing the #waho nickname?
I think it is awesome and hilarious. Who wouldn’t want
to have nicknames dealing with pancakes vs. waffles?
Can you tell us about how the deal came about?
I was blessed to have stayed with a very loving, thought-
ful family during our tournament in Michigan. They intro-
duced me to their friends who knew a senior executive
at Waffle House, and we wrote him a personal letter.
After that, we planned a meeting. I’m very thankful for
everyone that wanted to help me and see me succeed.
TRÉS CHIC
“Big Al”
What is your favorite dish at Waffle House?
Two eggs, over-medium with wheat toast and grits (some-
times I get crispy hashbrowns!)…and my husband always
orders the All-Star Special.
Favorite topping?
I usually go with a plain waffle, but chocolate chips are my
go-to topping.
You’ve always played really well in Arkansas
at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship
presented by P&G. Can you tell us about your
experiences at the event?
It has been my all-time favorite tournament. I always stay
with this amazing family on the course that makes my week
so much fun. They always put up a giant “Big Al” for the Al-
abama girls. It’s impossible to miss. You can see it to the
right of the No. 12 fairway. The whole community comes
together for that tournament, so there is always unbeliev-
able support and huge crowds. There is also a big SEC pull,
so even though I am in Razorback country, they want to see
a fellow SEC player do well.
Do you look forward to coming back this year?
I CANT WAIT!!
Any favorite stops (restaurants, shopping, etc.)
while in Northwest Arkansas?
Isn’t Waffle House the only restaurant in town?
With your ties to the SEC, you’ve obviously got fans
down here in Arkansas. Have you met any of them?
I have. I will hear them say, “Roll Tide” during the week.
Will Arkansas ever beat Alabama in football?
I always pull for fellow SEC teams, but when it comes to my
beloved Alabama football, I hope that no one beats them.
What are your goals for your golf game this year?
I want to always see progress and improvement. I’m never
complacent and I want to keep putting myself in contention.

TRÉS CHIC
Describe your typical day when you are not competing:
What time do you usually wake up? Usually early since I’m used to getting up early tournament weeks.
What’s for breakfast? I try to mix it up, but always have it; breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
What’s your workout schedule? I workout six days a week both during tournament and non-tournament weeks. They are usually harder in off weeks, and then get easier during tournament weeks. It has just become part of my daily routine.
Take in any TV shows? They are usually recorded. But I like Suits, Scandal and House of Cards to name a few.
What else do you do during your downtime? I try to get to the beach at least once when I’m off to either go fishing or paddle boarding.
What are your favorite places in Northwest Arkansas for...
Dinner? Too many! Doe’s, Herman’s Ribhouse, Slim Chickens are a few.
Shopping? Not much of a shopper.
What are your favorite sport-ing events to attend at the University of Arkansas? Any of the University of Arkansas sports, but football and base-ball are my favorites. When I was in school I went to a lot of different sporting events.
On June 26-28 head over to Pinnacle Hills Country Club to cheer on Stacy at the tournament. For more information, visit www.nwachampionship.com.
Last year was an amazing year for Stacy Lewis. She
became the first American to win the LPGA Triple
Crown in 21 years, was named the Rolex Player of
the Year for a second year in a row, and was #1 in
world rankings. This year is looking just as promising
for the former Lady Razorback and Arkansas fans
can’t wait to see Stacy defend her title at the Walmart
NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G.
While on the course, Stacy is highly focused—
anticipating her next shot. But we wanted to know
what she’s like off the course and what she looks
forward to most about being in Northwest Arkansas.

Trends
This year we’re seeing some beautiful colors straight off the runway that can be incorpo-rated in our homes. Starting with color, here’s what the top 2015 trends bring:
A trend you will notice this year in home decor is lighter colored woods with the caramels and warm tones. If you’re in the process of remodeling or building a new home, keep this in consideration.
57
Hair-on-Hide is another trend that caught my eye. In the past it has been restricted to floor usage, but now we see it on sofas, console tables, and cush-ions. If you are a “do-it-yourself” kind of aperson, and have hair-on-hide at your disposal, why not repurpose it?
Despite the numerous examples of metallic that I saw at market, I was particularly struck by the introduction of copper and brass. In this room, the tables bring visual interest in combination with the soft grey and neutrals. The pillows bring a pop of color and the large vase and console table make a definite statement.
Trends featured in the market illustrated a shift towards rich, opulent colors, espe-cially in the red and blue families.
I love how this room incorporates soft blue accents bringing depth and visual interest to an otherwise neutral room.
TrendsOverall, what I saw at Interior Design Market was a variety of shades of blues ranging from cobalt to robin’s egg. This color is elegant and we see it a lot in nature. The ocean and sky-inspired hues can be easily incorporated into your homes by painting a wall, a ceiling, buying accent chairs, and adding pillows, lamps, or accessories. Other variations of blue that you could incorporate are turquoise and aqua. Combining different blue tones will definitely bring vibrancy to a space as you can see in this beautiful living room from one of my favorite lines.
A trend you will notice this year in home decor is lighter colored woods with the caramels and warm tones. If you’re in the process of remodeling or building a new home, keep this in consideration.

WE ALL KNOW that
there are many pets in
our shelters that need
to be adopted. Many
of us have adopted one
or two and we want to
do more, but short of
having a menagerie in
our backyard, we don’t
know how.
We change the channel
when the Sarah
McLachlan commercials come on. We
walk the other way when we see the
herd of adoptable animals at the farmers
market. We click “hide” on facebook when
a post from the shelter pops up. We feel
uncomfortable with the fact that we cannot
save them all, so we look away.
Meet Lindsay Soulsby. Lindsay is someone
who is not slinking away from the sweet
faces she can’t save, she saved one very
special pup and together they are using the
experience to create a platform for shelter
dogs all over Northwest Arkansas.
Lindsay had been longing for a canine
companion and she finally decided to adopt
in the summer of 2014. She found Mulligan,
a Heeler or maybe a Border Collie Mix,
at the Springdale Animal Shelter. Mulli
was around 11 months old and he’d been
there for “a long time” according to shelter
personnel (four to five weeks).
TRES CHIC
Life of MulliganMulligan with his
adopted Mom, Lindsay Soulsby
After adopting Mulligan, Lindsay continued
thinking about all the sweet animals that
she left behind at the shelter and decided
to create an instagram profile showcasing
life after the shelter and how good it can
be. She quickly realized that her new pet
was adept at posing. Mulligan didn’t mind
being dressed up and he stayed put in any
position as long as there was a cheesy
treat at the end of the session. She never
expected it to take off like it has.
@Life_of_Mulligan now has close to 7,000
followers and is still growing. Lindsay
tries to respond to every comment
and email and has since started a blog,
LifeofMulligan.com to expand on the many
questions and issues surrounding shelter
dogs and adoption.
In addition to life with Mulligan, Lindsay
is finishing up her bachelor’s degree in
criminal justice/sociology at the University
of Arkansas. She has several part-time
jobs and volunteers for various non-profits
in NWA, including the Springdale Shelter,
where she photographs the animals
that are up for adoption for their social
media pages. Lindsay and Mulligan want
everyone to know that adoption is a great

option when looking for a companion. But,
Lindsay adds, “If you can’t adopt, foster.
If you can’t foster, donate. If you can’t
donate, volunteer. If you can’t volunteer,
use social media to be an advocate.”
So, now we know what we can do…social
media has provided us with a unique
opportunity to help sweet animals just by
liking and sharing. Even though it can be
tough, it gets the word out to our networks
and sets local pets and organizations up for
success.
It’s easy to find adoptable animals near
you. Just enter your zip code and the breed
you are looking for into petfinder.com. If
you have your heart set on a purebred,
search Google for a rescue organization for
that particular breed. Nearly every breed
has one and many will even deliver!
