Should You Adopt A Rescue Dog?

Should You Adopt A Rescue Dog?

Gerard Durham December 22, 2020

Against what you might have heard, rescue dogs make one of the most dutiful loyalists in the long run. So, if you plan to adopt a dog soon, or expand your pack, then you should consider rescue, cute canines.

 

You are still not convinced – are you? Then, let’s show you more reasons why you should welcome a rescue dog into your home.

 

5 Benefits Of Adopting A Rescue Dog

You Have A Plethora Of Choices

Think of any dog you want. Is it mixed breed or purebred? Perhaps you’d love to adopt a puppy, juvenile, youth, adult, or senior! You name it: you will find it all at a foster or shelter home.

 

The best part is that whatever you find at the shelter home is healthy. The organizers took their time to handpick their collections.

 

Yet, some foster homes offer a somewhat test-run service. How so?

After seeing first hand how your desired dog behaves at the shelter, you can take her for a drive and see if you’re compatible.

However, remember that not all rescue comes to offer that.

 

You Get A Grateful Companion

Indeed, dogs at the shelter are not in pain. Also, they neither lack care.

Even at that, nothing beats a personal mother, a friend, a companion for a dog. So, if you trigger her release from a shelter home, a rescue dog will be grateful for the act.

 

More importantly, the dog will repay the kindness you extended to be an obedient and lovely pet.

 

You Boost Your Hero Instinct

Your dog is grateful and happy. In the same vein, you activate what you have hidden within you: your hero reflexes.

 

Well, you might not fly in capes of blue and red like Kara the superwoman. Still, you’d get a dopamine rush from saving a life.

And with the feel-good hormone, you’ll boost your ego. Not only that, but you will also enhance your productivity at home and during work in the process.

 

You Get More For Less

Rescue dogs are the most affordable you’ll get. Indeed, their prices range from $50 to $300. So, is that cheap?

 

First, foster homes fix and vaccinate their dogs. If you were to do that yourself, you could spend up to $170.

 

Also, foster attendants take time to train the dogs. The training could be the basic sit and roll around or as complex as the foster home sees fit. You’d also be getting that.

Fortunately, you know how much you’d pay a dog trainer if you were to take the other route.

 

Lastly, shelter homes offer after-adoption services. They call you to see how the dog is faring. Also, they guide in the event of challenges.

You Bypass Uncultured Breeding Practices

A standard foster home has certification and license with the state. About 60% of these homes have an in-house breeding expert that ensures the events run smoothly.

If you take puppy mills, you will not only violate standard breeding practices. You also risk adopting/purchasing a dog that won’t last the slightest illness.

 

Verdict

So, back to the question: yes, you should consider rescue dogs. For starters, the dog will be grateful to you. More importantly, you get the option to buy at incredibly cheap rates and give a dog a home.

Here are some more data from the humane society.
