Topic: Rescue groups


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Rescue group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most rescue groups are created by and run by volunteers, who take the animals into their homes and care for them—including training, loving, playing, handling medical issues, and solving behavior problems—until a suitable permanent home can be found.
Animal shelters often work closely with rescue groups, because shelters who have difficulty placing otherwise healthy and pet-worth animals would usually rather have the animal placed in a home than euthanized; while the shelters might run out of room, rescue groups can often find more volunteers with space in their homes for temporary placement.
Rescue organizations are usually all-volunteer organizations and survive on donations and adoption fees.

 Dog Owner's Guide: Rescue Dogs
Rescues are usually preferred for a purebred pet; shelters seldom have a selection of dogs of a particular breed and almost never have time to teach manners, evaluate temperament, or treat minor illnesses and are not usually aware of the nuances of breed behavior.
Once the decision is made to obtain an adult dog from a rescue group, choice of a breed should be done with as much care as if the purchase was to be a puppy from a breeder.
Some rescuers take themselves so seriously that the comment “adopting a child is easier than getting a dog from XYZ rescue” is no joke, especially to adopters who have gone through an exhaustive interview process only to be turned down because they work full time or live in an apartment.

If more people took responsibility for the animals they get, shelters and rescues for all animals would be far less overcrowded and financially strapped, and there would be room for those animals from people who really have absolutely no choice and no way out of being forced to rehome their pets.
