The following information is provided to you free of charge to help you decide whether to choose to bring a rescue dog into your home. I hope to clearly explain the joys and also some of the challenges you will face if you decide to rescue a dog from an animal rescue shelter or one from an advertisement in the paper.
Often dogs are "free to a good home" for a reason and shelter dogs have been surrendered or abandoned for a reason also. So it is best to be fully aware of what you are getting into before you make the wrong decision and have to make the heart breaking decision to return the dog which is difficult for you and very bad for the dog.
I have rehomed many dogs and I believe that with the right preparation and attitude you will find facing the challenges much easier and you will find that your new companion certainly will become your best friend in the world.
The links below will take you to information pages on this website. They are designed to provide you with information so you are better prepared when rehoming an unwanted dog.
You are more than welcome to copy it and share it with your family and friends but please tell them where you got it from.
Some of the information used on these pages was created from the ideas in Dogs on the Couch by Dr. Larry Lachman - a book I can highly recommend for any dog owner.
