Everything that comes their way I have researched on, I try to be the best possible dog owner. Question should I run and take the guys to the vet and get them all updated to the rescues standards, and watch them be lethargic sooner then I was gonna take them, or should I just say it wasn't meant to rescue, and forget the little older ex-breeder dog from a puppymill that needs a good home? Ok, I am done venting!! |
I recently adopted a yorkie dog mill male breeder from National Dog Mill rescue in Colorado. They didn't have any sort of requirements that you mention. But, they make sure the dog has his shots and is fixed before they adopt them out. Also they have a foster mom who socializes the Yorkies before they are adopted. She's a great lady. The main requirements are that the adopter has a concept of how to handle a rescue dog. They are so afraid of everything so you need to be gentle and understanding with them. They do not handle any sort of punishment because of their past and training needs to be positive reinforcement. Good luck to you.
