We have always taken on rescue animals….x
Indeed yes I would. Why not.
They would only be put down otherwise and their problems arent ones they were born with but gleaned through man’s mishandling. Not their fault.
What like Lassie? Of course. If ever I got stuck in a cave at high tide, I know Lassie would always be there to save me or at least go and fetch some help.
I have an abondoned dog if its cute or not hurt or not the main thing is without your help it has no home it’s cold hurt hungry when i see my dog paddy when he’s all happy you will feel good because it was YOU that helped him and gave him love
I would certainly try if i have the time and manpower to take care of the dog
Of course!!! Every dog deserve a chance.
i would have to like the dog problems can be worked out later
Been there, done that, still am and would again. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing you gave something a chance and you get rewarded by love 100%.
Dogs Problems are not usually dogs problems at all they are humans problems, either created or just lack of understanding what the animal needs.
Problems 1 not house trained – problems sorted. (problems created by he being brought up in a cage)
Problems 2 dog has health issues – problems being sorted. (problem created by bad breeding)
Problem 3 dog has issues about being left – problems solved by reassurance and love. (problem created by the dog being abandoned and mistreated)
See what I mean. These might have been a problems if I had let them but I chose to see them as simple behaviour issues that could be resolved and not a problem at all.
I even took on a dog that was aggressive through being beaten. She now has been trained to use that aggression in a controlled way and she works for a security guard. She just needed to learn that not every human would beat her for no reason.
Also golden oldies are very rewarding. Taking on a dog nobody else wants because they are old is so great. Sad when they die but worth knowing that the last years of their life were spent happy and knowing they are loved is the best thing ever.
Yeah of course, as long as it fitted in with me so that I could give it what it needs.
of couse other wise itll just be put down and they are already desexed vaccinate ect. ( in most shelters )
At this point all I can do is Foster a rescue dog and help relieve some of her/his problems so that we could find a forever home. I own 2 dogs now with enough room for them, but once we sell the town home and get the big yard, yeah I’d adopt a rescue dog and also continue fostering……..
I have a rescue dog now. I’ve had him for almost 6 years, and I adopted him when he was between 3-4 years of age. He has come SUCH a long way, and it’s wonderful to see what patience, love, and good food can do.
I’ve not only taken on two rescue dogs [one being 8years old] but have also recued 7 out of my nine lizards and also a scarlet macaw. People shouldn’t have pets if they don’t know how to look after them, but I have to admit, a couple of these rescues were very genuuine cases as to why the people couldn’t carry on with their welfare
Most of the dogs I have had are rescue dog, I still got one and yes I would carry on giving a abandoned dog a new home when I can.
I’ve done it before. I have 3 small kids and the fostering experience was very good for them
Of course, we have two, absolutely loving, loyal and faithful. We have a Border Collie, and a Yorkshire Terrier.
The Collie is very intelligent and we have taught her lots of tricks. The Yorkie is the same he may look cute, but will put a bigger dog in it’s place.
Uk based
Yeah, I’d love to. I understand that they would have problems because of their past, but I’m a patient person. I think I’ll be a good mum to a rescue dog! (but my boyfriend won’t let me get another one!)
Would love too! We are considering adopting a rescue dog sometime soon. Our only draw back is that it is VERY expensive. Most rescue groups from where we live have very high price ranges, such as $350-$1000 just to rescue a dog!
Already have.
Of coures I would! Why wouldn´t I adopt a dog?! I have a dog that we found on the streets and adopted her. She is amazing.
definitely, someone has to give the poor thing a chance!
if u hacve another dog take it to the shelter just to ensure its not aggressive to other dogs
Sure- I have two rescue dogs- One lab mix and the other is a beagle mix. The lab mix had been in two adoptive families and each time she was brought back to the rescue. We are not sure why because she is very nice dog. The beagle mix was found at the pound. She is a sweet dog, but has a some fear of people but she is bonding to us very well.
….Maybe. I have an issue with rescue dogs. I want to help them out, of course, but then I’m going to live with this problem-filled dog of which I don’t know its past or breed for the next 10-15 years. It’s something to consider.
Yes.
I’ve owned 4 dogs so far, each one rescue. It’s worth remembering they don’t all have problems in the way that a pet owner might see a problem.
For instance, my current dog is a retired racing greyhound. Abandoned not because of his unsuitability as a pet, but because his racing career was over. (Although there are some decent people within racing, my dog’s former owner was not one of them).
Prior to that, we took on a pair of yorkshire terriers. The problem? Their previous owners were an elderly couple that were moving into sheltered accomodation and could not take their pets with them.
Which leaves my first dog. A mongrel, beaten and then thrown out on to the street. Other than that – no history. A more loving, obedient dog you couldn’t wish to meet, and he’s sorely missed.
I might well have been lucky, but there’s some great dogs in rescue, some with issues, some are pretty easy to handle. I’ve gone for the easier ones myself, but who knows in the future?
Why would I walk away from a dog that needs it the most?
If the the dog was a pup i would take it on,but if i never had any young children then i would take on any age dog.
As you would not know how they would be with or around children,and maybe the dog might not like children.
but to give a rescue dog a home is such a nice thing to do.
As they would be your friend for life.just give it a go,if its to much just be patience,as the you are new to the dog and the dog is new to you..
yea
there really no diffrent from other dogs exept they need more love and attention but thats even better lol i just turned 15 july 3 and gotz tuns of time so i go to the mspca or one in whitman i think it is and it’s a local rescue animal shelter or basicly an adoption shelter and we play and take care of them who wouldn’t ??? lol
vote me best answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
r u rescuing one ? if u r YAY U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 3 rescue dogs already and they all came to me with various problems. I have to say that now they don’t really have any issues at all. It has been hard work at times, and they’d try the patience of a saint, but well worth it, our dogs now go everywhere with us, and are well behaved friendly dogs. 2 of them do agility as well as obedience and one is a gun dog. I would always look at rehoming a dog before buying one, but so far my dogs have all found me! I didn’t need to go looking.
Always. Out of our 5 dogs 4 of them have been rescue.
Why wouldn’t I. Most dogs that end up in rescue don’t have behavioural problems (a very common misconception) they’re a lot easier than the hard work involved with bringing up a puppy.
i would but not if u have young children because u dont no there background they could be very nasty its better if u have one on ur own danielle
Of course.
Which one would depend on my circumstances…I have 2 young children so I would only choose one that was assessed to be child friendly. I also work part time so need one that’s ok being left for a few hours, it would also need to be good with other dogs.
To be honest I couldn’t justify buying a dog from a breeder when there are plenty of suitable dogs waiting in rescues.
Yes i would recommend taking a rescue dog…. I have 3 West Highland White Terriers all rescued Shane 11, Tina 12, and Holly 3. Indeed they are hard work but the rewards are terrific.
Im so proud that we have given these cuties a chance of a lovely life.
Yes and always will, I don’t agree with supporting the pet trade when so many are being destroyed and I can honestly and gladly say none of my rescue dogs have had behavioural problems.
Yes-1 of my 2 dogs was a rescue dog.Most dogs that end up in rescue centres are not there because of behavioural problems-that’s an urban myth.
In future I would always try and get rescue dogs.
YES done it for the first time with our latest dog and it has the best temperament, obedience, intelligence of all the dogs i have ever had and wouldn’t be without her.
