I work in animal rescue and absolutely love it. Even through the tough times of losing some to medical complications and potential bite risks, going to work everyday and helping them is a great feeling. Volunteering is a very rewarding feeling as well knowing youโre contributing to their wellbeing. As a result of working in rescue for years, all my pups are rescues. As you said, sometimes they need time to decompress or even behavior modification but my very best dog had a very rough transition period coming from a shelter but with time, patience and some training, I couldnโt have asked for a better dog.
I have shared my life and home with many different dogs over the years and they have all been rescued dogs from the local Humane Society. I have gotten some very wonderful animals from them, including the one I have now!!
Of the five dogs that I have had, the one who terribly terribly shy was also the one who was the clown and had the biggest personality when it was just us around and he felt safe.
