Why would anyone want to rescue a dog?-Any dog? Well I suppose you need to delve a little deeper and ask the question – why does any dog need rescuing? Many people think of rescue dogs as being “damaged goods”. An example of this thought is children not eating bananas with the black bits on their skins. The bananas are fine but try telling this to children.
Some people may feel that a rescue dog is a second rate dog, one that nobody wants anymore. Well there are many reasons why a dog may need rescuing and may need help from a thoughtful and caring person/family. Many rescue dogs may have strayed and may not have collars/microchips, maybe some of the original dog owners cannot afford to keep their loved ones anymore (i.e. pensioners with over the top, mounting bills or owners who have lost their jobs or their place of residence). Some dog owners cannot deal with their dogs anymore after they realize the ‘full grown size’. They started out as cute little puppies, and then ended up huge Rotttweilers, German Shepherds or even massive Huskies. These larger breeds need constant challenges and exercise-which some dog owners simply cannot provide. This could be due to time or disability. So, not all Rescue dogs are second rate cross-breeds or mongrels. Rescue Centers and Shelters go a long way to make sure each rescued dog is healthy, well fed, and up to date with their shots, as well as helping each dog to be as socially well adjusted as can be, before they are ready to be adopted out by new Dog Owners and/or Families.
So what I am trying to say, is that before you go out and look for a New born
Puppy from a ‘puppy mill or pet store’, perhaps you could give your local Rescue Centers/Shelters a go. You would be saving a dog’s life and you could be making your life fulfilled at the same time.
As for Rescue dogs being out of control and needing extra Dog Training once they are taken home, well I can say that I have had both rescue dogs and new Puppies- fresh from their litters, and the only difference would have to be the Dollar figure I paid for them. Sure some dogs may need more training than others, and some Rescue Dogs may need more comforting but this is more to do with each individual dog’s temperament and its previous circumstance.
I am a self confessed dog lover-you should know that by now, and if I can help rescue any dog, given the opportunity, I would not hesitate.
Take care.

I have had 3 beagles from a rescue and they have been the best. One female named Willow was the cream of the crop, she had a tough life, giving birth in a county pound by herself. I never had a problem with her, she was my baby but I only got to keep her for 4 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. I felt as if my heart had been cut out. I called the rescue to let them know and they said they had another momma that was in need of a home, I went to see her and we bonded right away, but I had to leave her because she had new puppies. I ended up taking her and one of her pups. As I write this she is on my lap asleep and he is in his bed. People think I have had her since she was a pup because she is so devoted. I strongly agree that people should check out the rescues because they might just find a diamond in the rough and with a little love and patience it will shine very brightly.
Just wanted to add my view on rescues.
Thanks,

I have had two rescue dogs over the past few years. My first beagle Simon was from a local rescue here in NH. Simon died four months after my husband passed away, and I had become very devoted and dependent upon him. The animal hospital told me about a rescue group called Beagles of New England States (BONES). They take in rescue, use volunteers to foster the dogs until they find a home. You get to view them on their internet site. This how George came into my life. I got him last November and he is the love of my life. He is so devoted, and has a really great personality. He does have some separation anxiety issues on occasion, but all in all he is just a great dog. I would recommend to anyone to please consider a rescue dog. They are the most devoted and loving animals you can find.
Beagles are my passion, I lost my very best friend and companin on July 3,2007
Maggie was a tri color Beagle and I had her since she was 8 weeks old, she was with me 24/7 for 15 years and came down with Cushings Disease. I miss her so much
and every day is a sad day without my friend to walk with and love. I wroe three
poems in her memory that are on the Web..Losing her has inspiered me to volunteer
with our local ASPCA, I walk the dogs and socialize with them, I’m sure Maggie
would want me to do this. If the Rainbow Bridge exists, I know that my special
Beagle Lady is a happy resident but I also know how much she must miss me..For
all you folks that lost your Beagle, I would love to hear from you via Email my
address is fas5511optonline.net Thanks Frank
Where canI find BONES… I am very interested in getting a beagle but our shelter doesn’t get them in very often and if your not there when there rady to go you loose out. They won’t hold one for you
We just rescued another little beagle baby. She’s probably about 4 and just the most loving little girl. She really fits in well with our family even if we do now have a herd of beagles!
I rescued two beagles. The first one picked me out at the animal shelter when I was looking for a larger dog. She was so sweet and shy but obviously needed a playmate. So I went online and asking for a beagle. I was referred to Milo-Mr. Trouble. He is the most lovable puppy like guy. But after two years, reading Beagle Savy etc he still marks in the house and financially and emotionally I cannot handle it any more. He will go outside pee without or with encouragement and few minutes later I will find pee somewhere in the house. I walk him nightly, have trained him to sit, stay and come. He has done a little agility -he will do anything for a treat. He goes to bed good at night in his crate-but I cannot cope with his little defect and I dont want to lock him outside-his previous owners did that and I have to contain him enough in the bathroom. He needs a new home, a fresh start where he learns new rules from the get go. Please email me if you have a place for him in your heart and home
On July 3,2007 I lost my wonderful best friend and companion, Maggie,my beloved Beagle,had her since she was 8 weeks old, she was 15 when she died from Cushings Disease.There is not a day that I don’t long to have her back
since I lost her I walk and socialize with all the dogs at our local ASPCA Shelter here in Hyde Park,New York.Maggie would have wanted me to do this for
the homeless animals, while Beagles are my passion, I love all the dogs and cats. If I ever find a female tri colored Beagle that I could give all my love and attention to, plus a great home, I would consider adopting another one…I would enjoy hearing from anyone out there.Frank Sause fas5511@optonline.net
