“Whether working on their own, as part of an adoption group, or in a shelter, those who rescue homeless dogs are a special breed. Rescue requires compassion, dedication, and lots of work. If you're contemplating involvement in rescue, have just started out, or have adopted a rescue dog, this book will help you understand and navigate the risks and rewards of your new adventure.” —Nancy Peterson, The Humane Society of the United States Just as first-time parents often wish their newborns came with instruction manuals, families adopting/rescuing dogs also need clear-cut advice at their fingertips. To make life easier and more enjoyable for those who cannot turn away, Your Adopted Dog provides step-by-step guidance and support, including: • The pros and cons of adopting from shelters, private rescue groups, or picking up that pooch wandering alone on the street • What to do in the critical first 48 hours after your dog comes home • Creating a dog-safe, dog-friendly home and yard • Preparing for emergencies and disasters • Handling health and behavior problems common to rescued dogs • Advice on integrating the rescue into your home • True dog rescue stories with happy endings • Finding a new home for a rescued dog • Finally, after all the hard work you've done to help your friend in need, how to take the time to have fun together
