Rescue
It can be stressful getting a Rescue dog and you may be unsure what to do with your new or upcoming arrival from a shelter. Here at Dog Guru we have Kylie as our resident rescue expert who also works the staff on educating them.
What to Expect
- The dog you get may need to be taught manners and boundaries inside the house and environment as may not know them yet
- May be nervous for a few days then after that may not leave your side
- They may come with some behavioural issues that you may have to live with or can get help with - don't let this hold you back
- They may be different from when you saw them in the shelter environment
- If you have another dog in the house consider giving it a good walk before coming home with the new arrival
What to look for in a shelter
- Clean dog and clean environment
- Should show an interest in people at the shelter if possible
- The shelter asks you questions about your home environment and previous experience
Benefits
- You are taking home a dog that may have not survived
- Ending up with a loving companion who adores you.
