Cavalier Health Organization
Syringomyelia is a serious neurological disorder that affects many different breeds of dog. Some of the known affected breeds are the Brussels Griffon, Boston Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chihuahua, French Bulldog, King Charles Spaniel, Maltese, Pomeranian, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Hungarian Vizsla, Weimaraner, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Poodle. It is widespread in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and has prompted the Cavalier Clubs, veterinary neurologists, and geneticists worldwide to band together to identify the gene that causes the disease in an attempt to provide better diagnosis, prognosis, and clinical management with the ultimate hope of finding a cure. If you're interested in learning more about Syringomyelia, the CavalierHealth.org website has the most extensive, up-to-date information available.

P.A.W.S. New England
A small but very dedicated group of women in New England and Tennessee joined forces in an attempt to reduce the euthanasia rate at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. They formed the rescue organization P.A.W.S. New England and are attempting to save as many animals as they can by finding them loving homes in the New England area. If you'd like to find out more about the organization or are interested in seeing a list of their available dogs, please visit the main PAWS website.
