rescue from the animal shelter…or even take a puppy for free so it wont ever end up in a animal shelter (thats what i done with my puppy they were fixin to take her to the animal shelter and i took her)
Rescue…give a dog another chance at a good life.
Won’t buy, just promotes backyard breeders.
Will rescue, dogs (and kitties) are so grateful and shows it tenfolds.
Unless I absolutely wanted a show quality dog (for showing or breeding purposes…and I doubt I’ll ever really have a need for a show quality dog), I would adopt a rescue dog! There are so many great dogs out there who are just waiting for a home!
I choose to adopt dogs. I like to give them better homes than what they have previously had. Rescue dogs have lots of love to give and just need to be given a chance. I like to give them that chance.
Either a shelter or a reputable breeder (If I wanted a purebred). I have decided though, that the next dog I get will come from a shelter.
Definitely rescue. 2 of my 3 dogs are rescues and they are both wonderful dogs. There are millions of dogs in shelters and rescues that are awesome dogs that just need a home.
I volunteer for the Humane society and we have lots of wonderful dogs that need a loving home. So I would always take a rescue dog.
Well i buy mine Private at a breeder that way i know what im buying
Not sure. I have kind of had both. You know more about a private-bought dog, but you know that you could give love to a rescue dog that maybe hasn’t experienced real love before. It could change their life for ever. Probably the latter I think.
Buy from a breeder, dont get me wrong there are lots of sweet dogs in the pound but i’d rather buy from a breeder. my heart goes out to the pound puppies
I would rescue a dog.
Because, animal shelters are filling up fast
too many people are buying from breeders and puppy mills.
I go to my local shelter every week. I have adopted 4 pets from there so far.
I foster every chance i get.
Shelters can’t afford vet bills, so if an animal is too sick, they get put down.
And it is sometimes very hard for the shelters to buy food, blankets, cleaning supplies, treats, toys, bowls, litter boxes, brushes, etc. for each and every animal that comes in there.
A Shelter Dog’s Christmas Poem
‘Tis the night before Christmas,
And all through the town,
Every shelter is full – we are lost but not found,
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
We hope every minute that someone will care,
They’ll come to adopt us and give us a call,
“Come here Max and Sparkie – come fetch your new ball!”
But now we sit here and think of the days..
We were treated so fondly – we had cute, baby ways,
Once we were little, then we grew and grew –
Now we’re no longer young and we’re no longer new.
So out the back door we were thrown like trash,
They reacted so quickly – why were they so rash?
We “jump on the children”, don’t “come when they call”,
We “bark when they leave us”, climb over the wall.
We should have been neutered; we should have been spayed,
Now we suffer the consequences of the actions THEY made.
If only they’d trained us, if only we knew….
We’d have done what they asked us, and worshipped them, too.
We were left in the backyard, or worse, left to roam –
Now we’re tired, and so lonely, and out of a home.
They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-bye…
“Maybe someone else will give you a try.”
So now here we are, all confused and alone…
In a shelter, with others who long for a home.
The kind workers come through with a meal and pat,
With so many to care for, they can’t stay to chat,
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer…
We know that they wonder how long we’ll be here.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads..
Of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds!
Then we wake to sad eyes, brimming with tears –
Our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear.
If you can’t adopt us and there’s no room at the inn –
Could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year –
Can you give more than hope to everyone here?
Please make a donation to pay for the heat…
And help get us something special to eat.
The shelter that cares for us wants us to live,
And more of us will, if more people give.
i would take in any dog that needs a home but it’s just something about a rescued dog. knowing that you helped save a dog from abuse, the streets, or any thing else really touch me. i feel personally that rescued dogs are more likely to be a little more tense. but there are times when a rescued dog is more gentle.
We rescued our dog and we couldnt imagine life without him now!
I get it from my mom though, she has four dogs right now and all of them are rescues (abused, abandoned etc..) They are also wonderful dogs.
It might sound dumb, and people laugh when I say it, but I think they know that theyre getting a second chance at life. Rescued animals can make some of the best pets you could ever wish for!
It all depends on where I could get the better dog.
You can buy and /or you can rescue a dog with health problems, temperament issues, and poor conformation.
The key is to ask many questions and try to determine which dog is the better quality dog, and which is the better fit with you and your lifestyle. You can also get a great dog from a rescue and /or a breeder.
I wouldn’t want to take in a new dog if I was to find out the dog would constantly be at the vet, or if the dog had a bad temperament. The source of the new dog isn’t as important to me as the dog’s background, as well as his overall quality.
Both my dogs are rescues.
1. Too many die in shelters daily. I can’t stand to let one more die if I can give it a good home. There are so many that I can pretty much pick the color, size, personality, age and even dominant breed then hop online and find that dog, fully vetted and micro-chipped in a shelter or rescue for under $300.00. It is win/win. I wish it were not so easy. Hopefully one day, it will not be.
2. Well bred dogs from responsible breeders are costly. ($1,000 and up) I have no intention to show the dog and I don’t need it for work like herding or serious drafting. I only need a healthy family pet, so why bother with the expense? That said, I see nothing wrong with a fancier purchasing a dog from a reputable breeder, at any price. It just isn’t practical for me.
I think it depends on what your planning on doing with the dog. If your planning on getting into showing or something more serious, I would look for a good breeder and buy a pure breed.
If you just wanted a dog for playing with and have a family dog, deffinetly rescue, why not?
Depends, the last rescue dog my family adopted did have some behavor problems, she was nice dog though. Some shelter and rescue dogs have health and/or behavor problems or are senoirs.
I would adopt from a shleter or rescue but to make sure I’m not getting a dog with major problems I’d probably buy a dog from a private breeder.
I do have a beagle I got a pet store and a pug from a breeder. Both are sweet dogs and the best of friends.
But then again it depends on person’s preferance and what they can afford.
i would buy a rescue. save an animal life.
I’ve had 5 great pups from very good breeders, all have been healthy and I’ve had access to the breeders for advice whenever there was a problem. These last 2 dogs I got from breeders because I have very small grandchildren and wanted the comfort of knowing exactly what temperament I was getting. I did the same when my children were small. In between I’ve had 2 adult rescue dogs with teenagers/young adults and they were great dogs. I think it all depends upon your situation. I would never bring in a rescue dog with a baby, but that’s just me, people do it successfully I’m sure
I’ve had both. When I was showing, of course, I bought from carefully screened breeders of quality show dogs, and I did buy one of my little jrts from a friend….but, of the 6 dogs I have now, 4 of them are rescues. I do have a soft spot in my heart for the hard luck dogs. 2 of the rescues we have now do have baggage. But, we just deal with it.
There are so many wonderful dogs at shelters. I have adopted three of my babies. Two were from the SPCA and one was through the Boston Terrier rescue.
If you want a pure bred, go to your local rescue club for the breed that you are interested in. So many pure bred dogs are abandoned when people find that the puppy is a handful. This happens when they haven’t researched the breed. So if you want a pure breed, check with your local rescue group.
But please check your local SPCA. There are wonderful dogs turned in every day. There are hundreds of wonderful dogs put down every day because they weren’t adopted. So please, check at your local SPCA first, I can almost guarantee you will find your best friend there.
i have had both
I got my dog from an animal shelter and she’s my best friend and the best dog in the world. She was also a bargain. I paid $20 and she was spayed and had all her shots. I took her out of a shelter and gave her a good home so she’s happy and she makes me happy because I made her happy. I cannot believe how much I love this dog. She is one of the best things to ever happen to me.
The thorough bread dogs always find homes. I’ll always try to rescue a dog. By doing so you give them another chance. And the dogs that aren’t trained always have the most distinct and characteristic personalities.
I have done both. It depends on what I want. I have to admit that rescues are not usually as successful as just buying what you want in a higher quality. Many times a dog will be on the verge of euthanasia, so your emotions take over and you rescue him. And many if not most times the dog has other issues such as biting, illness. It is not always a good idea.
From a pup if I had children. You have to ask yourself why was the dog in a rescue centre in the first place. With a pup it fits in to your family ..a rescue dog has had someone else form its character and you could be taking on its hang ups..
i’ve bought private before because most rescue centres will not allow families with children under ten to have a dog. We got our first pup when our eldest was 8 months old. Rescue centres automatically assume that because you have kids you have no time to train and teach a dog..which is ridiculous as i have proved different with two dogs now.
I am getting another dog in a couple of years through a breed rescue as they are more leniant about kids ages as they have more hands on contact with the dogs, so have a better idea of their temperament. Unfortunately the breed we have passed a home check for etc is not in rescue very often so to get the breed we want we may have to purchase a puppy, but the breed rescue is fine with that. If i could have a rescue..i would everytime, but unfortunately some rescues are just too discriminating to families…its a jip
i would get a rescue dog.I have two ex-racing greyhound and they’re both from a rescue charity.I would always get rescue pets as they need and deserve a home more than bought dogs.
I **** to admit it but unless the rescue dog was a pup I would buy. We have rescued 3 dogs now and bought one pup. Two of the rescue dogs were older, about 4 and 8 and both had serious emotional problems – 6 months after rescuing the older one he attacked an adult family member which required hospital treatment without there being any indication that the dog was stressed or upset. The rescued pup was about 12 weeks when we got her and she was a great dog, just died a couple of months ago aged 17.
