Rescue Dogs – What To Look For When Buying A Rescue Dog

When you are looking for a rescue dog, the main problem is the beguiling eyes of the dogs

. Every one will touch your heart but you must be practical and level headed. Make sure you decide on the size of dog you want and how much time you are prepared to spend on exercising him and grooming his coat before you go along to a rescue centre to look for one.

It is in the interests of the staff to find permanent homes and to match you with a suitable dog, so listen carefully to their advice before choosing a particular dog. Speak to the person who normally walks the dog that interests you, and ask them about his temperament, obedience and willingness to please, how energetic he is and how he gets on with people and other dogs.

The dog may be suspicious of you initially, but don't worry this is natural. He should come to you after about five minutes. However, if he shows any signs of aggression, then beware. If he lies on his back urinating slightly, he is being submissive, and although this is acceptable in puppies it is not desirable in adult dogs. However appealing these dogs may look, harden your heart and walk away.

Taking on a rescue dog is inevitably a bit of a gamble because his history is usually unknown, but he is more likely to settle into his new home and become a much-loved member of your family if he is friendly and responsive. When you take him home with you, be patient and give him lots of your time.
