Hi look I work at my local council & I see the type of dogs that get dumped in our pound.

If you are interested in adopting/rescueing there is nothing I would reccomend more highly . As long as you choose the right 'type/breed' suited to your situation.

In my experience 99.9% of the animals that get surrender'd are just unlucky enough to have ended up with crappy owners. Most commonly animals get dumped because owners aren't prepared to provide a decent fence, so the poor animal constantly ends up in the pound. Or people get a puppy, then it's a 'BAD' dog coz it chews a few shoes.


Our pound on average has to put down 15-20 perfectly fine dogs PER MONTH simply because no one has adopted them. I also own 2 dogs, a gorgeous lab x roti who I adopted from the prevention of cruelty 6 yrs ago (belonged to an elderly person who had passed away) & a foxi that I rescued from the local vet (owners decided she was a bad puppy coz she nipped after she was belted). And they have turned out to be the happiest & loveiest loyal pets I could possibly have asked for.

Sorry to have posted such a long winded reply but after knowing that soooo many loevly dogs get put to sleep, it is something I feel very strongly about.
