Dog care is part of your job as a dog parent. Though it takes work, the rewards of caring for a dog is incredibly rewarding.
Whether you get a rescue dog from a shelter or a specific breed of dog, their care is basically all the same. Love, food, shelter and warmth is all a dog needs.
However, Unlike dogs that are purchased from a reputable breeder it’s unlikley to have the history of a rescue dog.
Many of these rescues come from backgrounds that we as a human can’t imagine. Often all they need is a special person to help them learn to trust again. While others need a little extra time and care to get back on their paws again.
Many dogs will come in like any other, liking our face and wagging their tail. Others haven’t felt a loving human hand or a gentle voice. Some are not used to warmth and a soft bed. So in the beginning, they may require some space, and a little calm and guidance as they become accustomed to their new life.
In a few cases they may have a special need that requires care, but rescue facilities will do their very best to provide you with a profile that include the any known health issues and treatment given.
The best rescue center’s want the best for the dogs. They want good homes and matches for this lifetime commitment.

There will be someone else who is ideal for that particular rescue. And there will be others rescue dogs that will be right dog for you.
