Dog Adoption Scams

There are a number of wonderfully caring and perfectly respectable dog rescue organizations out there, but unfortunately not all of them are what they seem.

Many first-time dog owners are weary of adopting Pitbulls and bully breed dogs directly from shelters, so foster programs can be a great way for potential owners to get [...] Related posts:

Things to Consider Before You Adopt a Dog

Mandie — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 02:13:08 +0000

Many dogs in shelters and foster care have ended up there because of ill-prepared owners that did not take into account the financial and time considerations that need to be made when bringing a dog into the family; this is especially true with puppies. While no one wants to think about the not-so-pleasing qualities that [...] No related posts.

Is a Pit Bull the Right Dog For Me?

Mandie — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 06:00:26 +0000

There are way too many Pit Bulls that end up in shelters because of ill-prepared and careless owners not knowing what to do once their cute little Pit Bull puppy grows up and starts asserting his personality.
