Brittanys who have been uprooted from their happy homes or have not had the best start in life are more likely to bond very completely with their new people. Those who hove lost their families through death, divorce or lifestyle change go through a terrible mourning process. But, once attached to a new loving family, they seem to want to please as much as possible to make sure they are never homeless again. Those Brittanys that are just learning about the good life and good people seem to bond even deeper. They know what life on the streets, life on the end of a chain, or worse is all about, and they revel and blossom in a nurturing, loving environment.
Most rescues make exceptionally affectionate and attentive pets and extremely loyal companions.
Unfortunately, many folks think that dogs that end up in rescue are all genetically and behaviorally inferior. But, it is not uncommon for us to get expensive dogs that have outlived their usefulness or their novelty with impulsive owners who considered their dog a posseion rather than a friend or member of the family, or simply did not really consider the time, effort and expense needed to be a dog owner. Thank you to Labrador Retriever Rescue,Inc. for allowing me to borrow their list and modify it.
