Pet Tips
Breed RescuesBreed RescuesA popular type of rescue organization is a breed rescue. These rescues are just as they sound, breed specific. Breed rescues generally charge more than double what you might expect to pay at a municipal or nonprofit shelter. There are several reasons for this, one being that every dog is spayed or neutered, temperament tested with a variety of people, men, women, of all ages, medically treated, and most receive training and are socialized with other dogs by being fostered in a home environment. This allows everyone to adopt a pure bred dog, while saving some money and more importantly saving a life. The only draw back is demand, finding a specific breed can often take longer than a normal mutt. I prefer my mutts personally. Breed rescues are also known for their strict adoption policies, often requiring several home visits, references, and a lengthy adop0tion application.
