WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A RESCUE DOG
Rescue is not about getting a free or discounted dog. Nor is it about finding the instantly perfect family pet that is trustworthy with children and all other animals. CO rescued dogs are often relinquished because of aggression toward people and/or dogs, or their history is simply not know. Many Caucasians do not rehome well and they are faced with challenges new owners must be prepared to accept and have a commitment to working with properly.
