Every year more than 300,000 animals go astray in the UK alone. Many times, abused dogs are brought in and caregivers have no way of telling what the background is. It has been my opinion for a long time that most abused dogs are the ones that are “impulse buys” at the pet stores or were just give interesting facts are that among the most abused dogs are the breeding females.

Local donations and a small amount of tax money support the shelter so their priority is to take in severely abused local dogs too. Animal shelters are designed to temporarily house lost, homeless, or abandoned animals. Some people dump litters of puppies and they’re found and brought to shelters.

The good rescue dog with names and breed are Apollo (German Shepherd), Balto (Husky), Barry (Saint Bernard), Dakota (Pitbull), Dusty (Airedale Terrier), Gandalf (Shiloh Shepherd), Swansea Jack (Newfoundland), Togo (Siberian Husky), and Velvet (Labrador Retriever).

The animals in shelters did not ask to be there. By adopting a dog you will also decrease the demand to buy puppies at pet stores. A small number of owners give up their dogs because they have a new spouse or child that is allergic to the dog or, for whatever reasons the new relationship interferes with dog ownership.

Shelter dogs come from various places such as animals found wandering the streets by Council Animal Control Officers and general public or sometimes people have to surrender dogs because their circumstances have changed and they can no longer keep their dog.
