People think leaving bits of information will get the dog adopted faster, but in fact, it may cause the dog to be given up again or bring more stress to the household. When people know the issues beforehand, they can determine if they have the capacity to handle them and the success rate is much higher.

I immediately discourage them letting them know that larger mixed breed or maybe a beagle (most are fantastic with kids!), border collie or spaniel of some sort are better suited for children. Then I tell them about petfinder.com, where they can find out if the dogs needing homes are good with kids and the level of training they have. Always much easier than starting over with a puppy - whom they have to train to go out. <br />Piranha Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435692082904821577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949129669624438656.post-12628232665256422632013-11-20T17:52:03.106-06:002013-11-20T17:52:03.106-06:00This is the message we are working on too- Outstan...This is the message we are working on too- Outstanding post.

Pretty much everyone in my dog family was adopted except me - I was a 'splurge.' My momma always says if it were not for me, we never would have adopted Crazy Daisy nor Funky Monkey. I am glad because I now have like-sized siblings instead of all big dogs like we had before (Ethel, a rescued border collie (who has since passed away) and Weasel - who is an Aussie/Chow/Sheltie mix.). I think even if it breaks people's hearts to give up a dog, if they really care about it's future, they will be as hones as possible. There is always someone out there, who doesn't mind a challenge and is willing to do more for a dog. For us, all our rescues were challenges in the beginning, but after working hard and training, we are in a good place. We are hopeful we can find the little one a home... daddy is threatening to keep her, but we are at dog limit in our village and Daisy does not like other females in the house, so we have to keep them separated.
