As a veterinarian, I usually ask the owner of the history of their pets. Knowing that rescued animals have the tendency to easily get traumatized and may easily gets emotionally stressed.
Yes, abused or rescued animals can make wonderful pets, but it's important to be prepared for the potential challenges that may arise due to their past experiences. As you mentioned, it's important to consider whether you have the necessary patience, time, and discipline to retrain the animal. Patience is key when working with an abused or rescued animal. They may have developed certain behaviors as a result of their past experiences, and it can take time and consistent effort to retrain them. Time is also important. Retraining an animal can be a time-consuming process, and it's important to be able to dedicate the necessary time to the animal to help them adjust to their new environment and learn new behaviors. Discipline is also essential. Consistency and structure are important for retraining an animal, and it's important to have the discipline to stick to a routine and training program to help the animal overcome their behavioral issues.
I agree. Some abused or rescued animals are the sweetest. I know because I have two of them. One of them have a family of her own and she's 7 years old already She was about 2 or 3 years old when we rescued her.
I volunteer at pet rescue shelter and I tell this to people who are looking to adopt or foster dogs. You have to be extremely gentle with them. I also think rescue animals need to be in households where someone is in the house all day
We just adopted a pitbull that was used for dog fighting. He was aggressive at first for a couple weeks, but after a while just being gentle with him. He's the sweetest doggy now
I'm glad someone said this. It breaks my heart at some of the situation we rescue animals from. Be sweet to those animals
You are absolutely correct about that. I have had my fair share of experiences wherein animals are aggressive towards humans because they have never experienced what love and caring is all about. I feel for them so much.
I agree. Those behavioral problems are often caused by trauma. It's hard to get out of it, but with persistence they can become pets that come to trust us. Grateful for anyone who tries with these pets.
Rescues are a breed of their own, I must say. It is often dangerous if there is no professional that can help. Be careful out there people.
