e-WOOF Rescue
Before adopting a dog, please consider the following:
All Dogs Must Have:1. Exercise for their minds (some kind of basic training or games). We strongly recommend that all adopters take a basic obedience class with their new dog. It is a great way to bond with your new pet, and also to meet other dog folks and identify and correct any potential behavior issues. Plus, classes are just great fun!
2. Exercise for their bodies-- daily walks or runs on a schedule regular enough that they can depend on it. The amount of exercise a dog needs will vary tremendously according to their breed, age, health status and personality.
3. Sustained contact with their people.
Reasons Dogs Find Themselves in Need of Rescue:
1. Bad habits resulting from frustrations when the above needs are not met.
2. Owners' lack of knowledge about the breed of dog they have and the requirements that particular breed may have in terms of exercise, grooming, etc.
3. Changes in the family situation: divorce, family illness or death, job loss, a move to housing that doesn't allow pets.
4. Abuse or neglect.
Whatever the problem, too many owners in this throw-away society of ours just get rid of the dog, often for reasons which are not in any way the dog's fault.
If you are interested in adopting a dog, please contact us at EWOOF@WYOMING.COM
All potential adopters must fill out an application and have a home visit done. All dogs are spayed or neutered before placement and are up to date on shots.
Time is of the essence when rescuing dogs, so if you are actively looking for a certain breed or type of dog but do not see one on our site that fits your needs, please contact us and let us know your interests. We are often able to locate other available dogs in other rescues we work with, or have a dog that we are aware of, but have not yet listed on this site.
