Rescue
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart, You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Anonymous An excellent source for a purebred dog is from a rescue organizations run by various clubs across the country. If it is a breed rescue, dogs of that breed are rescued from shelters or private homes as needed, fostered while a placement is found, and then placed. The adoption fee usually is less than the cost of a purebred from other sources. For addresses of rescue services for various breeds, call the American Kennel Club library, 212-696-8348. Breed clubs often run a rescue program; try contacting the local breed club for the breed you're interested in. There also exist all-breed and mixed-breed rescue groups; this is another source besides the shelter to obtain a dog. You should try to spend some time with each dog you consider adopting, as recommended and described for shelter dogs. Talk to the people who are fostering the prospective dog for a better idea of the particular dog's temperament. Ask questions like you would with a breeder; expect a good outfit to screen you as well. Expect them to ask for a donation and require that the animal is neutered, if it isn't already. Rott-n-kids has now established a Rescue list where we post details of Rotties looking for homes as soon as details become available. As I need to ask permission before posting details on the site the list is a much faster way of helping find a Rottie that needs a new home! To join - send a blank email from the address you wish
