I cannot let an opportunity to
promote rescue dogs get by me. Four million animals die in
this country every year. They die from a disease called
homelessness. It is the secondary infection of human apathy,
and it kills family pets. They spend their last days
frightened and alone. There is no vaccine, there is a cure
however-commitment and responsibility.
Please consider a rescue dog
for your next family member. There is a rescue group for
almost every breed imaginable. And there are many many mixed
breeds in rescue. It is a myth that all rescue dogs are
pitiful and are victims of abuse and neglect. Many rescue
dogs lose their homes due to death, divorce, and change of
financial circumstances for their owners.
Rescue is full of dogs that
people exclaim upon meeting them "How could anyone give up
such an amazing dog?" But in our throw away society, they do
give them up in staggering numbers.
Most people think they want
a puppy. But, when I ask them to describe their ideal dog I
always seem to hear a description of a well trained five
year old. Don't get me wrong I love puppies. But for a
family that is busy with kids and their activities, I highly
recommend a well socialized adult rescue dog.
I can help with the
transitional period when you add a new dog to your home,
just go to the contact page and get in touch with me. If
your problem needs hands on attention and you are not in the
Orange County, CA area please get in touch with a trainer in
your area. |
