Your best bet is to 'Google' for the one nearest you, using the breed name. So poodle lovers can search for 'Poodle Rescue' or 'Poodle Rescue Florida,' if they live down south. After you find an organization, you will want to apply as an adoptive parent. It also customarily involves a form in which you describe your history of animal possession, and supply references. You may provide some info on your ideology about dog discipline, your place and yard, and where you intend to keep your most recent member of the family. *What will I pay for a Rescue Dog? Typically you may pay between $200 and $300. If you believed "rescue" adoption was inexpensive, this might seem to be a lot, but the reality is it simply covers basic procedures to bring the animal back to health. *How will a Rescue Dog differ from a breeder or pet store dog? In a variety of ways.
Why does one breed appeal to an individual over another? Why do many of us love the size, looks and personality of a Great Dane and others would never own anything except a Toy Poodle?
as a possible puppy buyer / dog owner, you have to be aware about the marks, both bad and good, of the breed you are considering. Often this works out fine and other times dog owners find out, too late, this isn't such a fabulous breed ( for them ) after all. Unfortunately, it is the trusting dog that suffers when it becomes placed in a new home, returned to the breeder or, worst of all, brought to the pound.
Each breed was developed with a definite purpose in mind. Each breed ( or most anyhow ) have breed specific health and or personality issues of which you should be aware. Some breeds have coats that need hours of grooming to keep the dog in fine condition. Some breeds are very active and hyper while others are quiet and inactive.
Because different breeds have different traits, it's an excellent idea to first outline precisely what characteristics you would like in a dog. And if you do have kids, what age are they? A dog breed that has a tendency to be extraordinarily hyperactive and assertive wouldn't be a good selection with terribly tiny kids as the dog will probably do damage if it jumps on the kid and play bites.
What about grooming? What sort of time are you ready to spend on this chore? What about shedding? Some dogs don't shed at all and others shed just about consistently. How much noise are you prepared to put up with? What about trainability? Some breeds are infamously hard to housebreak and / or train while others practically discipline themselves. If your interest is obedience, hunt down those breeds that excel in the field. *Am I the right sort of owner for a Rescue Dog? An vital query. You, the owner, are the last and most vital link in a series.
