ListTo the world you are nothing.
To a rescue dog you are the world.

A
photographer on the scene of a burning home in North Carolina from the
Charlotte, NC newspaper, "The Observer," took this photo.
Cinnamon, a pregnant Doberman Pinscher, "thanks" a fireman as he sat down to rest after the fire was out. Some time later, she gave birth to 5 puppies. |
Consider this:
Many dogs do not remain
with their original owners either because of a genuine life-altering
circumstance or because the owners weren't prepared for the responsibility of dog ownership. Perhaps they didn't have the time they thought they would, or
perhaps they didn't provide the training and didn't want to live with the
results. Perhaps they
simply didn't do their homework about the characteristics and behaviour of a
particular breed. Whatever the reason, less than 50% of dogs remain in their
original homes.
Consider this:
These unwanted dogs and those who have been victims of neglect are considered rescues. Sadly, there are often rescue dogs available for placement in loving homes. If you're ready for dog ownership, but hesitate because you're not sure if a puppy is right for you, consider a rescue. Rescue organizations and contacts are listed below by breed.
