Dog Adoption. For the love of God, PLEASE consider ADOPTING a dog before you consider paying a breeder $500+. The idea of adopting a dog from a animal shelter, humane society or specific dog breed rescue organization is a concern that is near to my heart that I pray others will also become passionate about. I have nothing at all against responsible, reputable dog breeders. They obviously market a valuable service. If I simply can’t convince you to adopt a dog from an Orange County animal shelter or elsewhere, well then I reluctantly can refer you to the Dog Breeders Page. More importantly, if you had any idea of the euthanasia rates (% killed) at some of the animal shelters in the Los Angeles and Orange County dog kennels, I think you would think more positively about finding your next best friend at “the dog pound.”
I want to remind you that there are some very specific dog breed rescues that you may be interested in as well which are represented here. For example, many greyhounds are surrendered after they are no longer used at racetracks. Those dogs graciously find their way to greyhound rescue groups that are very familiar with that particular breed. Through the tenacious and diligent work of these type of breed specific rescue groups, many of the dogs are thankfully adopted into new homes and receive the love they deserve. So again, if you are looking for a specific dog breed you have two avenues to find it. Go to the many shelters and humane societies that are here in the Southern California area, or use this page and other resources to research whether the dog breed you desire has a local “rescue” organization set up near you. Me? I whole-heartedly have by far found the most fun in simply visiting different animal rescue shelters with a real open mind and intuitively feeling if there is a certain dog I simply can’t leave without. It can be a lot of fun. It does however help reinforce your decision on a dog choice when you have researched your desired breed and are familiar with the behavior typically associated with that particular breed.
The specific duties and objective of ALL these dog shelters and rescue organizations is the same--TO FIND A LOVING HOME FOR THESE DOGS AND CATS. As far as costs of dog adoption, they’re very nominal and are often well below $100 and occasionally include a free visit to the veterinarian. Lastly, please do not think that these shelter dogs are “problem dogs”. The opposite is actually typically the case. Although the reasons for giving up a pet are as varied as the amount of dog breeds, I think it’s imperative you understand that a VERY large portion of them are surrendered because their owners can no longer afford them or take them with them when they move. As example, I adopted my Retriever from a family that was worried “Tabby’s” new home in Denver would be much too cold for her. I’m smiling. Their lose, my gain. As strange as it sounds, the sad truth is THE MAJORITY of dog owners give up their dogs and cats because they are moving to a place where they can not take them, or due to new financial restraints, can no longer monetarily afford them. Terror dogs? I’m sure every shelter has a few. They’re far out numbered by beautiful, loving dogs that are waiting for you to come and throw them a ball. “Won’t you come play with us?” How often do you get the opportunity to save a living, breathing Life? Make a difference-.PLEASE. An animal doesn’t have a fighting chance if you don’t go to the shelters and at least look. Hey, that’s all these pups are asking for- A SECOND CHANCE. "Until there are none, rescue one." |
