Product Description
An inspiring, realistic guide to adopting purebred rescues
Each year, millions of purebred dogs are given up by their owners for a variety of reasons. Thanks to the recovery and rehabilitative efforts of rescue organizations, many of these dogs are saved—and go on to become extraordinary companion animals. Now, Purebred Rescue Dog Adoption helps you decide if adopting a purebred rescue dog is right for you. Professional dog trainer and purebred rescue expert Liz Palika explains how to locate local and national rescue groups, what you can expect in the adoption process—and from your rescue dog—and how to help your dog make a successful transition to your "forever home." Palika also helps you: - Choose whether to adopt a puppy or an adult, male or female
- Prepare your house, yard and family for the new arrival
- Handle housetraining with care
- Teach your adoptee how to behave with other people
- Understand and work through problem behaviors
- Get involved with purebred dog rescue yourself
Complete with a list of up-to-date Internet resources, Purebred Rescue Dog Adoption tells you just what you need to know to make the right match while saving a dog—and feel wonderful about it!

Even though I have had many dogs, Tank was my first rescue dogs. This book was very helpful to read before adopting and in the first few months I referred back to the book frequently for helpful hints.
A Must if you are considering a rescue dog January 3, 2007

This book is just full of good information for anyone considering a rescue dog, or even just an adult dog to purchase. It reassures you that happenings are normal while also alerting you to anything that might need further study. I especially liked the case studies of actual rescue dogs and their happy endings.
