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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many 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. Our ability to pull dogs from shelters rest entirely on whether or not we have the space, this is why foster homes are so important. Foster homes buy the animals time, something they don't have in a shelter.

What about a Rescue?

Frequently Asked Questions
mentioned above, the Colonial Schipperke Club is very active in finding homes for "pre-owned" Schipperkes. These are Schips who for reasons normally not of their making, have lost their people. They may be lost or stolen dogs, dogs who suffer from the deaths or divorces of their owners, or dogs who are given up for a variety of reasons by their original owners. Colonial members often provide foster care or brokering services to match up these dogs with new owners.

How do I rescue a Beardie?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
First of all, you will not be rescuing a Bearded Collie unless you are actually out visiting shelters or searching dog pounds. More likely you will be adopting from Bearded Collie Rescue or another organization that has rescued the dog in some manner (from kill shelters, abandoned, or even from people who advise they are taking the dog to a shelter and offering Rescue a chance to take it before they do).

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).

Frequently Asked Questions about Asthma

How do you rescue the animals?

PMMC - FAQ
All of the animals at PMMC were found stranded on the beaches, jetties or oil platforms along the coast that we serve. When we are notified of a stranded animal, we rescue it only if there is cause to do so. While it is quite normal for a pinniped to come out onto land and rest, it is not normal for them to do so in populated areas nor is it normal for them to allow humans anywhere near them.

Where do you get the pets that are in your rescue?

Frequently Asked Questions

We will take in owner surrenders if we have space but we do ask for a small donation of either pet food, vetting the pet before coming to us, any supplies you may have on hand to help care for the pet while with us or any supplies that will benefit pets that come to us from shelters.

Why should I rescue a Bearded Collie?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
Because you are a good and caring person who wants to do something good for a dog. You are willing to open you home to a dog in need and spend time getting that dog adjusted to his new home. And you will provide that dog with love, companionship, shelter, food and take care of his or her health needs. Many people approach rescue saying that they want to do something good for dogs. There are too many dogs already and taking a rescue into their home is a way of helping.

Why all those questions on the Rescue Application?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
Quite honestly, Rescue first determines if you should have any sort of dog. Then determines if a Bearded Collie is the right dog for you. Have you read our section reasons you may not want to own one ? Just as with a breeder, Rescue wants the Beardie to have a good home. They don't want to find it at the shelter again. Many of these dogs came into rescue because they ran away in the first place.

I want a Rescue Puppy, how often are they available?

Bearded Collie Rescue FAQ
Some approach rescue as an alternative to going to a Breeder, and happily tell the rescue person or fill in an application saying "I want a rescue puppy." You should know that very rarely does rescue get a puppy under a year old. It happens of course, but with Bearded Collies it may be a years between rescue puppies. Owners tend to keep puppies inside and watch them carefully. Puppies don't have the urge to run like some adults do.

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.

What is animal rescue?

Dalmatian Adoption and Rescue
Often times, when people hear the term "animal rescue," or more specifically "dog rescue," they immediately think of search and rescue--that is, animals employed in the use of locating people lost in the wilderness or by some other peril, such as natural disaster. Animal rescue (dog rescue, cat rescue, horse rescue, etc.) is different. It is people rescuing animals from peril, such as threat of euthanasia by animal shelters and other at-risk situations.

How many pounds to a dress size?

Weight Watchers and weight loss online support FAQ - Frequen...
A..Again, unfortunately, this is another YMMV - or your mileage may vary. The larger sizes cover a greater amount of weight sometimes up to 25 pounds per size. The lower sizes are often 10 pounds per size. Sizes also vary depending on height and where individuals carry their weight. We also tend to lose in different areas at different times so you may be one size on top and one on the bottom.

This message is, even if you don't notice immediate results, please be patient. MeltRx 24 Ultra formula is so unique that we're confident you can achieve significant fat reduction.

I weigh more than 300 pounds. What should I do?

Nature's Platform FAQ's
You can try using concrete blocks and some plywood. Stack two blocks on each side of the toilet. Cut the platform to the right size with an opening in the center as in this picture. If you don't have a jigsaw, use three boards as in the right-hand picture. Set the platform on the blocks. When you buy the blocks, measure them. The actual size is usually one-half inch less than the stated size. For example, 6 X 8 X 16 inch blocks (a good size to get) are actually 5-1/2 X 7-1/2 X 15-1/2.
