Consider this:
Many dogs do not remain
with their original owners either because of a genuine life-altering
circumstance or because the owners weren't prepared for the responsibility
of dog ownership.
Perhaps they didn't have the time they thought they would, or
perhaps they didn't provide the training and didn't want to live with the
results.
Perhaps they
simply didn't do their homework about the characteristics and behaviour of a
particular breed. Whatever the reason, less than 50% of dogs remain in their
original homes.
Consider this:
These unwanted dogs and
those who have been victims of neglect are considered rescues.
Sadly, there are
often rescue dogs available for placement in loving homes. If you're
ready for dog ownership, but hesitate because you're not sure if a puppy is
right for you, consider a rescue. Rescue organizations and contacts are listed
here by breed.
