I keep reading how some families adopt a dog and then return it because of behavioral problems or it doesn’t respond to them as they demand. What I think they fail to realize is that, for a lot of dogs, being moved from one home to another is stressful and it can take them a long time to make the emotional transition. Yes, dogs do suffer from PTSD. This needs to be recognized by adopters and allowances need to be made.
Dealing with adopted rescues
While getting a puppy and raising it from scratch is fun, adopting a rescue is both a chore and a learning process for you and the dog. However, done properly, the end result is rewarding both and also gives the dog a wanted home that understands its needs and shamelessly caters to its needs and wants. Welcome to my blog. It is deliberately unstructured, jumps from topic to topic, and is unorganized but hopefully you will find it interesting and educational.
