Frequently Asked Questions

Do the dogs that go through rescue demonstrate behavioral problems or have medical conditions?

Frequently Asked Questions
Some dogs have problems and will continue to have them to some degree; others come to us with problems that we have been able to successfully eliminate through extensive training. Others come essentially ready to go with no serious problems at all other than they have been unjustly abandoned. Most rescued dogs have had little or no formal training, and most have had poor care. Sometimes the dogs have been abused in one way or another and come with some degree of baggage (a lot like people).

Are dogs and cats given to the Humane Society because of medical or behavioral problems?

Frequently Asked Questions about Warren County Humane Societ...
No. Many of the dogs and cats are strays, and owners often reclaim their pets. If they have ID tags, we contact the owners. Any animal-owned or stray-can have medical or behavioral issues. All dogs at the shelter are temperament-tested for aggression before being placed for adoption. We also evaluate cats for temperament, but it's not a formal process. Medical issues are evaluated and handled according to the severity of the problem and the cost involved.

Q8. Do the dogs you rescue shed?

Arizona Retriever Rescue - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A8. Absolutely! Goldens shed a little all year round and twice a year they lose most of their coat. Anyone intent on a "hair free" home, should reconsider getting a Golden. Their coat requires brushing of at least once a week. Their hair can be long and can become matted if it isn't properly cared for. A thorough grooming to trim the hair on the paws, tail, and around the ears needs to be done on a monthly basis.

Under what conditions do you rescue from the pounds?

Dalmatian Adoption and Rescue
We try to refer potential adopters directly to the shelters because these facilities are usually the "last stop" for animals in their care. Most of our dogs come from shelters. When the shelter is unable to hold the dog any longer due to conditions of space, or because of the health of the dog, we will pull the animal as we can.

How can I get help with aggression or other behavioral problems?

FAQ
Dogs with aggression/behavioral problems are not looking at the world the way a normal dog does. They are unable to tell the difference between what they see as a possible threat and a real threat, or are unable to react appropriately. Behavior modification means changing the problem behavior through changing the dog's attitude. Serious aggression or behavior problems should be addressed by someone with proper training to deal with these issues.

Do you rescue dogs from private owners?

Dalmatian Adoption and Rescue
We will take a dog from a private owner when we have the space, but this is rare. Because of the terrible shortage of foster homes and the abundance of dogs who are at risk of being killed, most often we cannot do this. We prefer to rescue from the pounds that are "kill facilities", that is, where animal euthanasia takes place.

I was told that getting a Rescue avoided all the costs and problems of a puppy. Is that true?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
The answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Lets look at some of the reasoning you might have seen on the Internet or in books. Rescues are housebroken - They can be or maybe not. Sometimes rescues have lived their entire life outside in someone's yard chained to a fence. Rescue will sometimes foster these dogs, or sometimes kennel them. Even if they learn potty training in that situation, there is no guaranteed they will respect you home the same way.

Where do the rescue dogs come from?

Samoyed Rescue - What is Rescue?
Dogs need new homes for a variety of reasons, but the most common ones are because the owners had a change in their lifestyle and are not able or willing to include the dog in that change (moving, new baby, new house, etc.). Most are neglected and thrive when given the attention they need. Some have not been neglected or abused, but just simply need a new home. A few have been abused in the past, but luckily, these are few and far between. A few also come from puppy mill closures..
