Q. If the dog is in a shelter and the shelter is planning on putting the dog to sleep, doesn't that mean that there are problems with that dog?
A. Absolutely not! The dog could be there for any number of reasons such as:
A. Unfortunately that's one of the reasons there are so many rescue situations in the 1st place. Everybody wants a puppy, so then the irresponsible breeders and backyard breeders start pumping out more and more puppies. The fact is, unlike puppies, a large number of dogs that are in a rescue situation already have some socialization skills and even some training, it's not unusual that a number of these dogs have been housebroken. Another thing about the dogs in need of rescue is that they are intelligent enough to realize that you're taking them out of a bad environment and placing them in a family environment, so they'll probably give you even more love than a puppy would!!
THEY LOVED ME WHEN I WAS A PUP
BUT NOW I`M OLD AND GRAY
NO ONE CARES ABOUT ME NOW
I`M LOST AND SO AFRAID
COULD YOU SEND SOMEONE
WHO WOULD LOVE ME FOR AWHILE
AT LEAST UNTIL YOU CALL ME HOME
TO THE OTHER SIDE
IT WON`T BE LONG, YOU KNOW IT`S TRUE
UNTIL I SEE YOU UP ABOVE
BUT WHILE I`M ON THIS EARTH, DEAR LORD
I STILL NEED TO BE LOVED.....
