what is the difference between adopting a dog or rescuing one?

well i compared buying a dog from a store and adopting a dog and i saw that adopting one would be better. I’ve heard that you can rescue a dog too. i got mixed up, are they both the same meaning? if they aren’t, then which is better?

Do shelters have a “Do Not Adopt” list that they share with other shelters?

I’m a life-long dog lover and long-time dog owner who recently adopted a dog from a pet rescue shelter, following the passing of my last dog at an old age, and I now want to become involved with dog rescue myself as a ‘foster parent.’ I have great respect for rescue shelters and the people who are involved with them, whom I have found to be extremely loving, dedicated individuals who sincerely want to help animals in need, as do I. But yesterday I got in an argument with a woman who runs a shelter who was involved with my adoption of my last dog, and today I got a very ugly, accusing email letter from her telling me, among other things, that she has had my name put on “The DNA (do not adopt) list.”

I’m very upset about this, as I very seriously want to help the cause of animal rescue by becoming a dog fosterer. In addition, I might well be adopting another dog in the near future.

What is both ironic and sad is that we can provide a rescued dog with a great deal of love, attention, and care because we are home during the day, my husband jogs 5 miles a day with our dog(s), we even enlist the help of a dog trainer (positive reinforcement method). Our dogs are our children, and they are happy in our home–our friends and neighbors and veterinarian will attest to that. This woman is not doing ‘rescued dogs’ any favors by putting us on a “Do Not Adopt” list.

So is it true that shelters have a “Do Not Adopt List” which they share with other shelters? If so, what can I do about it to clear my name?
Hi Alisha,

Thanks for asking. It is an extremely long story, too long to get into. Otherwise I would tell you.

How could me and my dog become a K-9 search and rescue team?

This is a job that seems extremely fun and something I could do for the rest of my life. My golden retriever has a nose like I have never seen. I just don’t know what training me and him would need and/or certifications.

Is the smallest rough collie puppy of a litter unhealthy?

I am purchasing a rough collie and my kids favor the littlest. At 8 weeks he is 8 pounds…while some of the others are 9 and 10+ and one is a really big guy…At birth , this little one was half the size of his littlemates. How concerned should I be that choosing this pup may pose health problems down the line? When he was born, he needed assistance to assure his chance to nurse. Eats fine on his own now and holds his own with all the others…vet checked with no problems noted.

Can Name Twelv Albums You Can Live Without?

I would like a list and short review of ten albums you cant live without. Here’s my list.

Louis Armstrong : All Time Greatest Hits.
This is more than a Greatest Hits Album it has most of his solo songs on it. His work was spread among a lot of Ella Fitzgerald and other Jazz musicians albums. Which is a shame this, man embodied raw talent. Louis Armstrong did for the Trumpet what Jimmy Hendrix did for the Electric Guitar and Neil Peart and Jimmy Chamberlain did for the Drums. His vocals are warm and emotional not smooth and soft, the have life to them. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is good, and the production is very raw which works well for Louis Armstrong

Elvis Presley : Self Titled Album.
This was the King Of Rock And Roll when he was just a kid with a dream, a great raw singing voice, and a guitar.This is the best Elvis Presley album ever, the raw sound the energy, the singing Rockabilly sound, and the feel of the late 1950s are heavy in this album. I think this album is over looked by a lot of Elvis Presley fans and it’s a shame. in less than two decades he would be gone and the best singer ever would be dead. The flow is good, the music is good, the singing is great, and the production is great.

The Doors : Self Titled Album.
This album is the core of Psychedelic Rock, it has inspired so many musicians, and entertained so may people through the years. It’s lack of over political songs make it timeless. The Doors were the Nirvana of their time. They wrote music diffident than most other Rock Bands, wrote lyrics diffident than most other Rock Bands, and they forged new ground with their slightly New Wave sound and heavy Psychedelic sound. The music is great, the lyrics are great, the production is great, and the flow is great.

Nirvana : In Utero.
This is Nirvana’s final and best album, it has the rawness of Bleach, it was catchy like Nevermind, and mature enough to be considered a true masterpiece. This album is a real rocker with meaning, it’s pure emotion and beauty. Many people have tried emulate the sound of this album and this band but few have even came close. This album has really stood the test of time too, in part because no one knows what Kurt is singing about (and that’s how I like it. If all of Nirvana’s albums had been this good they would have been the best band ever. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is great

The Smashing Pumpkins : Melon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
This album is a true masterpiece, the songwriting is just as good as Siamese Dream, but it doesn’t have Butch Vig’s candy coated production. This album is the best double album ever recorded. There is not one song on this album that is not perfect. Everyone in the civilized world should own this album. The music is great, the singing is great, the floe is great, and the production is great.

R.E.M. : New Adventures In Hi-Fi.
This album marks a return to the classic sound that brought R.E.M. to the top of the list of greatest Rock Bands ever. With powerful lyrics, great music, and maturity, New Adventures In Hi-Fi is a work of art that can make you mellow, can make you dance, or make you sing along at the top of you lungs in a crowded building. As if they didn’t have enough going for this album they also have song featuring the legendary Patti Smith on backing vocals (E-Bow The Letter). The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is good.

The Stone Temple Pilots : Tiny Music.
This album was more Classic Rock oriented and less Grunge oriented. It features Scott’s best vocal, and the bands best songs. It has a timeless feel and sound to it, it echos the 1960s but is fresh enough to not be a rip off. This album is very underrated. The music is great, the singing is great, the flow is great, and the production is great.

The Smashing Pumpkins : Adore
This album was a major switch in the style of music and lyrics The Smashing Pumpkins had written. The heavy Hard Rock was replaced with Keyboards and Acoustic Guitars. The overall

Anyone know anything about service dogs?????

Our apt complex doesn’t allow pets over 25 lbs. My neighbor moved in with a BIG dog well over the limit. She told the manager it was a service dog. She (neighbor) has no visible disabilities. She told me that she trained the dog herself. It barks all the time. I’ve heard that service dogs are trained not to bark, but, if she trained it herself would it be considered a ‘real service dog’? Also when she has him outside he wears a muzzle. Another sign to make me think she scamed the manager in order to get her dog in her apt.

Of course none of this is any of my business, except that she lives right next door to me with this huge barking dog that seems to bark all the time. Is he a ‘real service dog’?

Are there any stories about Dogs that make you cry?

Does anyone have a story or poem about dogs that makes them cry?

While answering another question I came across ‘Eulogy to a Dog’ EVERYTIME I read these words I get choked up and more often than not I am in tears by the end. It’s not a story per se It’s actually the closing arguments to a court case dating back to 1870. A man shot his neighbor’s dog “Old Drum”. Drum’s owner sued, and this poignant passage was spoken by Attorney George Graham Vest:

“The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.”

“Gentleman of the Jury, a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that encounters the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.”
“If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. When the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.”

Needles To say Old Drum’s owner won.

Dreamer – Rainbow Bridge is tough 🙁 But! Once you get through it and the tears stop alteast you feel a little more at peace with your furry friend’s passing.

Love I can’t even LISTEN to “angel” anymore! I used to volunteer in a shelter and I keep seeing the faces of all the dogs we put down 🙁 I had to put my own dog down when he was very sick – the dog I raised from a puppy. Yet rubbing the ears of the dogs who I hardly knew or even the aggressive ones who whould have ripped my arm off if not for a muzzle somehow seemed – harder =(

Did you hear about the dog who gave birth to 17 puppies?!?

News link with a photo of some of the puppies: http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/cutestuff/4481316/Dog-has-17-puppies-all-survive

A dog in Germany has given birth to 17 puppies, leaving their owner thrilled but fatigued after having to feed them with a bottle for several weeks because their mother couldn’t cope with the demand.

Owner Ramona Wegemann said she barely slept for more than a couple of minutes without interruption during about four weeks in an “exhausting” struggle to make sure all of the purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies would survive.

She said when she was “finished feeding the last puppy, the first was hungry again.”

Wegemann’s dog Etana gave birth to eight female and nine male puppies on September 28 in Ebereschenhof, which is near Berlin.

At least five times a day, Wegemann gave the dogs a bottle with special milk because their mother’s nipples could have never coped with the demand, and when the puppies were not hungry, they wanted to be entertained, she said.

Wegemann said when dogs give birth to so many puppies several of them die within the first week. “But all of our puppies survived. This is incredible and wonderful,” the 32-year-old added.

It was the second time that Etana gave birth. She gave birth to eight puppies in her first pregnancy, not uncommon for the dog’s breed, Wegemann said.

“The birth of the puppies was very special. All puppies were born naturally, no caesarean was necessary,” she added. It took Etana a full 26 hours to give birth to all of the puppies – and Wegemann was as baffled as amazed.

But caring for 17 puppies turned out to be a full-time job: Wegemann put her work as an independent animal psychiatrist on a hold and her husband took as much vacation as he could.

Their lives have been turned upside down by the puppies, and their living room is now occupied by a giant box that houses the puppies.

But even Wegemann still struggles to recognise them: The females puppies are called Bahati, Binta, Bahya, Bashima, Batouuli, Binki, Bora, Bisa and the male ones are Baakir, Banjoku, Belay, Bruk, Bundu, Bayo, Bukekayo, Biton and Bulus.

Wegemann gave them all African names because the Rhodesian Ridgeback is an African hunting dog. Wegeman and her husband now plan to give most of the puppies away.

A price of 800 euro (NZ$1500) per puppy would only cover the expenses for the veterinary, vaccinations, food and the mandatory paperwork, Wegemann said. She hopes to get about 1000 euro ($1800) per dog, but said they would only give them to families with children, not breeders.

Four of the puppies have been sold, two more are already paid for and will leave their siblings shortly.
LOL em yes daaaaaaaamn indeed.

Boyfriend of 12 years is moving to Florida for health issues..?

I have dated my b/f for 12 years. I live in my house and he lives in his house. I don’t believe in living-together. My b/f has a lot of health issues, especially arthritis. I am 51 years old and he is 62 years old. He has suffererd alot because of the cold winter months. He would like to see how Florida reacts to his ailments. (everyone says it does wonders for your health) He also has a dog (pug) that he chooses not to fly because of the dog’s health issues.

He has never been to Florida because he cannot travel with his pet. So, I offered to housesit his dog for a week in order for him to look into Florida.

He has held off going to Florida because he says he loves me and would be heartbroken if he left. So he stays here and suffers.

He wishes we could be together either in marriage or living together, but I not interested in getting married. He is getting to the point where the pain is getting worse each winter.

What do I do? Marry/relocate or let go?
I do love him. He is retired and I am still working as a teacher assistant at a junior high school. I am vested tho. Do I get another job in Florida at the ripe old age of 51? What happens if it doesn’t work out? I have to find employment in my 50’s, start all over again. I was married for 14 years. I like my freedom and independence. I don’t know if I can do a marriage. My first one failed. I have always told my b/f that he is way ahead of me. He has been retired for 20 years and I am just finally getting my act together financially. I don’t know if I am ready for a big committment never mind relocating. It sounds like I am not ready, I think.

Something with good bass, and not rap. Or heavy metal. Something like Manchester Orchestra’s “I Can Feel A Hot One” — the bass gets pretty intense towards the end of the song, and it sounds great. So something like that. I like Indie & Alternative, thanks

Where can I find breeders of Rough Collies in New York State?

I have been looking. I have two rough collies now, male and female. I am looking into getting a third. I live in Northern NY and do NOT want to buy across the border.

Do you think Rough Collies have become less popular as pets?

I grew up with a gorgeous and huge Rough Collie; back then they seemed fairly popular.

Now, I never ever see a single Rough Collie in any of the parks I walk a friend’s dog in – I’ve seen numerous other breeds but not even *one* RC.

Any thoughts?
