Rescued Dogs Reviews

All animal lovers will know exactly how devastating it is to loose their pet, be it a cat, dog, rabbit or mouse. There follows a period whereby it is unthinkable to contemplate getting another dog. "I can't go through all that again," is the usual reason one gives to any sympathiser who will invariably ask if you will be getting ...  Read the complete review

Five years ago my Black Labrador passed away and in the few months that followed I was very depressed and my other surviving dog, a spaniel, was very lonely. I ended up looking around my local rescue centre - Newcastle Cat and Dog Shelter - for a new companion. I was really heartbroken at the loss of my dog and found it difficult to walk around ...  Read the complete review

There certainly is a great satisfaction for doing the right thing when adopting a dog from a rescue shelter. These places are more often not funded by public donations only and receive no help from the government. They are not in business for the vast profits that many breeders receive, they are set up solely for the purpose of helping unwanted ...  Read the complete review

It always annoys me when people tell me how much they have spent on buying a dog mainly just because its a hip breed to have or something. when there is so many dogs out there in need of re homing ( rescue dogs ) these dogs are usually free and most have nothing wrong with them, they just need a loving owner and somewhere to lay there head in ...  Read the complete review

The purpose of my review is to inform you of why people have to stop thinking that there is something wrong with a dog just because its in a rescue. I am speaking from many years experience as I have worked with animals all my life and I have always owned a dog and guess what they have all been rescue dogs. I have also worked in canine rescue ...  Read the complete review

After having two dogs from a rescue centre I feel very cross with people who mistreat these loving animals. After all they only want a small amount of love and affection and a walk food and water how hard is it to give them these small tokens when they give back so much more. They give you their love and trust unconditionally and don't ...  Read the complete review

Dogs are for life, not just for Christmas. It never ceases to amaze me when over the Christmas period, you see this advert on the television hundreds of times and in my opinion, the seriousness behind the advertising campaign rings home and I would never dream of purchasing a dog for someone for Chrismas as a present when it is more than likely ...  Read the complete review

The purpose of my review is to inform you of why the prospect of offering a home to a rescue dog is not something that people need to turn their noses at, as many people do! I have had a rescue dog for the past 6 years and whenever people are given the answer to the question, what breed is he or where did you get him from, there is a ...  Read the complete review

I have had a few rescued dogs over the years and it never ceases to amaze me what people do to animals. After all no-one forces you to take a pet into your home. If you do and find that it is not for you then the kindest thing is to look at the options you have, such as rehoming. However if you find that owning a dog is not for you then why get ...  Read the complete review

I took on a border collie that had been mistreated the only problem was they never advised me that it had been keep as an outside dog. So when we got the dog home we kept the house quiet to let the dog settle in, then we decided to retire for the night and the dog was allowed the run on the ground floor, After only about 30 ...  Read the complete review

***Introduction*** Having recently written a piece about “The Dogs Trust” (TDT) I feel kind of qualified to talk about rescued dogs. Well, actually I’m lying because I don’t but being a few months into this experience now, it may be that I can shed *some* light on what adopting a rescued dog is all about and some pros and cons of the whole ...  Read the complete review

7 years ago I was quite ill and very depressed. I decided that I would get a dog to give me a reason to get out of bed each day. I chose to get a rescue dog, as I wanted to help a dog who had had a bad start in life. I went to Battersea at Old Windsor, with the intention of getting a small terrier. Instead I met Max, who had been in Battersea ...  Read the complete review

I am going to do a review on the Hungarian Puli as I feel the breed deserves it, although my encounters have been short and brief I will do the best job I can :-) <<<<<<<<<<<<HISTORY<<<<<<<<<<<<< During the early years of the twentieth century many ...  Read the complete review

Two of my three dogs are rescues. I wanted to rescue a dog rather than buy one for many reasons, you can see and meet loads of dogs before you pick one. Only a donation is required, this can be anything from £30 to £60, both of mine were £30 each. Denzil was my first dog. He is two now and still very much scarred from his past. I ...  Read the complete review

When a lhasa apso breeder telephoned me to ask if I would take on a rescue I said "No". Despite her persistance I reminded her that I had two dogs and did not want three. She had got me there as I at one time had four of varying breeds. I said again that I did not want to "collect" animals as they had individual emotional ...  Read the complete review

Not just resuced dogs either. We have had our pet dog Poppy now for about 9 months. We got her when she was 12 weeks, so she is still a puppy. As you can probably imagine, she has casued a fair bit of bother in those 9 months, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can honestly see where the phrase "a man's best friend" ...  Read the complete review

Just over 4 months ago, my daughter and I headed for the local cat and dogs home. We had spent a fair bit of time weighing up the pros and cons of adopting a rescue dog, and had decided to go for it. There was certainly a lot to choose from. About 100 odd to be precise. All shapes and sizes with varying needs. After a lot of walking, ...  Read the complete review

In 1992 after being pestered for ages by my two children, we decided (or rather they did!) that we would visit a dog rescue centre, not to bring a dog home, but just to look at them. Of course, all the best laid plans and all that! We were shown around the animal pens. Many of the dogs were leaping up at the cage doors, barking madly, ...  Read the complete review

Buying a puppy from a rescue centre shouldn't be a decision to make lightly. Even though the puppy may be only a few months old the damage can already be done. We got a jack russell crossed with whippet pup from the RSPCA last year. She is absolutely gorgeous, very pretty, playful, loyal and loving. But, and its a big but, she ...  Read the complete review
