E.S. rescue has foster homes and rescue volunteers around the county. The dogs may be in temporary foster homes, they may be in shelters or they may still be with the original owner. If there is not a dog near you - transportation is always a possibility. Every dog in foster care is screened temperamentally and medically to insure that only sound healthy dogs are placed. Dogs who are in shelters or still reside with the owners are screened by phone or in person and every effort is made to uncover any problems.
Most rescue dogs are simply the products of bad decision making.
If a dog has been abused or neglected, most are simply grateful to now be in loving homes. Most new owners report their dog seems to know what has happened and is all the more attentive and loving because of his former situation. E.S. rescue makes every effort to match people and dogs and we are very successful in making lifelong placements. In the event that a dog does not work out in its new home - the dog must be returned to rescue. We will accept back any dog we have placed.
