Synopsis

Dogs can find themselves homeless for a wide variety of reasons. The lucky ones are taken to rescue shelters where staff work hard to rehome them. Adopting and caring for a rescued dog can be challenging at first, but when it works out, you really do have a friend for life. This new book includes everything that anyone taking on a rescue dog will need to know, right from starting on the quest to find a compatible companion. It then addresses the dog’s specific needs, like learning to play, and issues that you may encounter, such as coping with separation anxiety, eating disorders and lack of trust. The book provides practical, expert guidance on how best to deal with and overcome such challenges as they arise, helping your dog grow in confidence and build a close bond with you and members of your family. * Finding and choosing a suitable rescue dog for your individual circumstances. * What to consider when meeting your chosen canine companion, and the things to look for. * Bringing your rescue dog home, and the practicalities of setting up a safe and happy environment. * How to assess the on-going needs of your rescue dog, whether a puppy or an older canine. * How to train your dog to follow your instructions inside the home and when out and about. * Troubleshooting issues such as handling, feeding and behavioural concerns. * Volunteering, fostering and helping with rescue dogs.
