Where do rescue dogs come from?
Rescue dogs come from a variety of circumstances and places. Some
are from shelters, having arrived as stray or owner-surrenders. The
reasons they need new homes vary, but often we hear statements such
as:
"We have no time for a dog."
"We're Moving."
"A family member is allergic to the dog."
"The dog does not get along well with children"
|
Aren't rescue dogs usually abused or neglected, making them
dangerous?
Most rescue dogs are the result of bad decisions, being
acquired with insufficient preparation and research. As for
those that HAVE been abused or neglected, many new owners
tell us the dogs seem to understand their good fortune and
respond by demonstrating an especially attentive and loving
attitude.
