Do a home visit, vet reference check to anyone who is considering adopting your family member. 2 Post a flier with the dog's picture, height, weight, breed, personality traits, at your vet office, groomers, pet stores, grocery stores, coffee shops, work place etc. 3 Contact a dog rescue group for assistance and advise. There are breed specific rescues. You must help yourself to help this dog.
Rescues can only do so much.
We are regular working people just like you, who do rescue because we love dogs. Rescue is a volunteer activity and rescue people commit countless hours helping homeless dogs. Be aware that dogs over the age of 4 are generally euthanized automatically. Remember, if you must place your dog in another home, you are in a better position to do this than most rescue groups. Knowing the dog's temperament, you can screen potential families and identify the best match for your dog.
