Rescue Dogs: Where They Come From, Why They Act the Way They Do, and How to Love Them Well | Gene Stone, Pete Paxton
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A fascinating look at rescue dogs--where they come from, why every dog lover should consider adopting one, and how to make them part of your family. America's leading undercover animal investigator, Pete Paxton, has, among other exploits, infiltrated more than seven hundred puppy mills, worked undercover to close one of the largest and most infamous puppy mills in the United States, and shuttered the most notorious trafficker of dogs for experimentation in history. In this book, he shares stories of the amazing dogs he has rescued and brought to loving families, and also offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone living with rescue dogs. Far too many people think rescue dogs have irredeemable anxieties, behavior issues, or other problems. In truth, rescue dogs can--and do--become wonderful companions. This groundbreaking book will help readers understand these dogs' unique ways of thinking, learning, and loving, and leaves no questions unanswered about the plight of dogs commercially bred in the United States--and what every dog lover can do about it.

@Slajaunie here‘s my Roxie. She‘s a rescue and is considered a Heinz 57 because she‘s got a bit of lots of dogs in here, at least according to the place we adopted her from. We tell people who ask what breed she is that she‘s “purebred adorable” 😂.

This was an interesting and sad look at how dogs end up in need of rescue, specially if you are unaware of how badly animals are treated in the USA still. I'm biased as someone that volunteers and fosters for animal shelters and a rescue mom myself (Bryson in the pic was a police confiscation from a meth lab #dogsoflitsy). I hope books like this will encourage more people to get involved and improve our overall animal welfare in this country.

Gaylagal2 He's so adorable! All my fur babies are rescues and awesome! It's so sad and unnecessary the people who "buy" dogs. If you look and/or go to an animal shelter, you will have zero problems finding the breed you'd like to have. They all need homes ?❤️ 5y
