WHEN DOGS GET OLD OR ILL,
SOME OWNERS MAKE THE CHOICE TO GIVE UP THEIR FAITHFUL COMPANION

They always have plenty of reasons, based on the belief that being a dog-owner is not a REAL commitment and others have unfortunate circumstances forcing them to abandon their faithful companion.
A breeder only gives up the dogs, when they no longer can make a profit due to poor health and if the dog is very fortunate, it goes to a rescue. Most dogs never leave alive.
Sometimes serious things happen, the owners become very ill or pass away, or find themselves without jobs, homes & options and just CANNOT care for their pet.
In the breeders case, serious is when puppy-stores will not buy puppies, because they have congenital problems or are too ill. Again if the puppy is lucky, it is surrendered to a rescue.
Either way the now homeless pet needs medical care and we make sure that they get it.
Most times they also need physical & mental rehabilitation before we can focus on finding people with a heart & enough compassion to adopt a senior or Special-needs pet.

If the dog is made available to rescue-groups from Animal Service, it means that we are its last hope. There are no more options! But if the dog had a choice, it would choose to LIVE and so we take the dog into rescue. -How could we not?
It is hard work, sometimes heartbreaking and costly, but there are dogs in need & we have made a commitment to not just walk/look the other way.
