Getting to Know Dogs

Fewer dogs would end up in rescue if people made better choices.

Dogs are undeniably part of the family for many of us. They provide companionship and enrich our lives, and many of us can’t imagine life without at least one dog. Dogs can also be challenging, expensive and in some cases, make our lives miserable. The key to avoiding the latter is to choose carefully, making sure that you choose a dog that is right for your situation and your family lifestyle. Researching dog care and breed information is the key to making better choices,

Far too many dogs are surrendered to rescue due to incorrect choices, inadequate training and socialisation, and underestimating dog ownership’s time, commitment and financial costs. While obtaining a dog from a rescue may be admirable, preventing dogs from ending up in a rescue centre has to be the better option. Consider your choices carefully before bringing a dog into your life, and understand the commitment and responsibility that comes with owning a dog .
