WHAT IS RESCUE?

          
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.
