Rescue Dogs Can Change Your Life When They Become Part Of Your Family

You may be thinking about adopting a dog as a
family pet. There are many ways to go about
this, including finding a breeder in your area,
going to your local pet store, or visiting a
rescue facility where dogs are waiting to be
adopted into a family. This decision is an
important one, so I will go into more details on
each of these options.

You may have a breed in mind based on your
previous experience or interests. If this is the
case you may have gone online or searched in the
newspaper to find out where the local breeders
are and if they currently have puppies or adult
dogs for sale. I have done this twice in my
life, but it did not work out either time. I
felt as though the breeders were car sales
people wanting to unload their latest vehicle.
The whole experience left me feeling like the
dogs who were there needed to be rescued from
the breeders.

We have all been enticed by the cute puppies in
the window of our local pet store. My pet store
is located inside of our mall, and my family was
anxious to have them take out the puppies and
allow us to spend some time with them in their
private family area. When we asked where the
puppies were born and other details about their
background it was interested to see how they
pulled the cards out of their filing cabinet and
read us the details. We were left feeling like we
just were not sure if this was right for us or
not, and the idea of charging the new family pet
on a credit card and paying it off by the month
just did not sit right with us.

The dog rescue groups are very different. When
you visit them they will tell you as much as
they know about the history of the dog you are
considering. These dogs all have history, and
much of it is not a happy story to hear. When I
visited a dachshund rescue several years ago I
was drawn to a black and tan standard size
dachshund they had named Cactus Jack. Jack had
been born blind and was then about a year old.
He was so sweet and loving that we fell in love
with him right away. They insisted on visiting
our home to make sure it would be suitable for
him. I liked this idea. Jack is now ten years
old and has a loving family to call his own.

This is an important decision, so be sure to
take everything I have discussed into
consideration before you choose your new best
friend.
