Do you travel a lot? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603145503220-F4OXADXMX4V38TTU8YJQ/Suburbs Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 2) Where do you live? Are you living in an apartment in the city? A house in the suburbs? A farm out in the country? Do you own or rent? Do you have a yard with lots of room for an active animal? If you have no outdoor space, where will you walk your dog? Will your cat have to stay indoors due to coyotes? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603145759838-3FF73L8HG4D2MZFKTJTP/Winter+Play+Time Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 3) What climate do you live in? Does your area experience all four seasons? Will you have to consider snowy weather or seasonal hurricanes? Do you live where its always sunny and outdoor activities are easier to come by. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603146511747-2FB4BXNO30H7WV4E4QFF/Quike+Photo Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 4) Do you want short-haired or long-haired? This goes along with the previous question. Will your short-haired pet need clothes to keep them warm in the winter? Will you be able to get your long-haired pet groomed on a regular basis? What about cleaning up their hair from shedding? (yes all animals shed, some more than others) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603146968024-OJZ6RFQJJTJY3VZRLK8R/Sawyer+and+Quike Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 5) Small, Medium, or Large? All of the previous questions will help you determine if a small, medium, or large animal will best suit your lifestyle. Where are they going to sleep? Who will be responsible for walking them? Will they too big or small for your lifestyle? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603147663708-J4MSWQDMQWR8XNGA9L5X/Kitty+Sunbathing Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 6) What is your activity level? If you are living a slow-paced, relaxing lifestyle, then look for a cat, lap dog, or couch potato. Avoid the working dog breeds as they need lots of activity. Are you very active and want someone to accompany you on your adventures? Adopt a working dog that thrives on new adventures and activity. Are you busy working and don’t have time to take a dog for a walk twice a day? Look at getting a cat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603147315744-OSXAUZVV02SPPV2ZWFQK/Kylo+Paddle+Boarding Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 7) What do you plan on doing with your rescue? Do you want a running or hiking partner? I recommend an active medium to large breed dog. Do you want to travel the country with your spoiled rescue? Are you flying or driving? How will your rescue travel with you? Will they need to fit under your seat on the plane or travel well in a car? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1603148045112-LT0ZOKHGYFVM43DKW9MK/Sawyer+with+sleeping+Dominic Blog - Choosing Your Spoiled Rescue (Part 1) - 8) Who do you live with? Do you live alone? Do you have kids or seniors in your house? Is there an baby in the family? Does anyone have allergies? Will there be someone home most of the day or will you pet be home alone while you’re at work? Are there other pets in the house? https://www.lifewithspoiledrescues.com/blog/where-do-you-find-a-rescue monthly 0.5 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1602459819123-CK68FRNWYBIM4V86I334/Where+do+you+find+a+rescue+pic Blog - Where do you find a rescue?

build your confidence in your abilities to adopt a rescue animal or, in my case, rescue animals. I’ve been working with animals my entire life. My first job was working with a general practice veterinarian and then I expanded to specialty veterinarians (emergency medicine, internal medicine, and oncology). I briefly owned my own pet bakery called Sawyer’s Pet Bakery specializing in treats for dogs with food allergies. That lead me to join the world’s first dog food kitchen, JustFoodForDogs for several years. I’m currently back in the specialty veterinary field and continue to see a need for more people to rescue animals. I’ve witnessed many “potential adopters” decide to hold off on adoption because they fear they can not handle the commitment it takes to offer a forever home to a deserving animal. The purpose of this blog is to tell you stories about the experiences I’ve gone through with each of my rescues. I share these stories to help build your confidence in your own abilities to rescue any animal. No matter the breed, age, temperament, or medical history. You have the skills to welcome a new member into your family. While in the process of writing many of these blog posts, I realized there are other ways to help encourage rescue adoptions. I created a storefront for digital downloads and pet accessories called Critter Digital. Check out the Shop section to get access to Nursery Art, Pet Task Sheets, Veterinary Task Sheets, Photography, and other pet accessories.

I’ll let you make up your own mind about me based on my pack of animals. Chloe Chloe came to my pack as one of the first rescues. She had a fractured jaw, we assume from a coyote attack. Her previous owners could not afford to repair her jaw so she was relinquished to the pet hospital. Her jaw was repaired, but it meant her jaw would have to be wired shut while it healed. How would she eat? you ask… Well, it required for her to have a feeding tube inserted into her stomach (also called a PEG tube). Since she could not eat on her own, she needed to be tube fed every 4-6 hours. That was very time consuming, most people do not have the time for that. I fostered her while she needed the tube feedings so she would not have to live in the hospital. Eventually she got her tube removed and was able to eat on her own again. The only sign of her fractured jaw is her tongue hanging out. Granted she can close her mouth completely, she just chooses to stick her tongue out. One of her many quirks I’ve come to love. Since then, we decided she should stay a part of our family and she thrived in my pack as the alpha. She passed away at the age of 21 in 2021. She has passed on her job as alpha to Ruby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1601252706204-J72360DNZ270SHAX5L21/Sawyer+Profile About - Sawyer The opposite of the “Pit Bull” stereotype, Sawyer is the poster child for the breed. He was rescued as a puppy when he had kennel cough and a skin condition called Demodex (Skin mites caused his hair to fall out, he looked naked!). He required weekly medicated baths to recover from the skin condition, but as you can tell by the picture to the right, he has a beautiful coat. Sawyer grew to be my laid back “surfer dude” who hates water. hahaha. Since he had to endure the weekly baths as a puppy, he hates water nowadays. What I’m most proud of about Sawyer is he hasn’t got a care in the world. He loves everyone and everything. He will lay down on the ground if a little dog wants to say hi so as to be at their level. He loves walking in crowds because he gets lots of attention. He may look intimidating because he is a bully breed, but he is the biggest love-bug you will find. Sawyer passed away at the age of 12 in 2022. He leaves behind a long legacy of friends from all of his adventures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1601253926161-AQP5Q97TFICIV7OKPW1A/Ruby+Profile About - Ruby While most of my rescues are medical cases, Ruby was a different story. She had behavioral issues that resulted in her being returned to the shelter and rescue 4 times. Knowing that Ruby is part Australian Shepherd explains a lot of her behaviors. As a working breed, Australian Shepherds require lots of activity and for their brains to be challenged. Ruby was not getting these things in her previous homes so she developed aggressive behaviors. She would bite family members and charge at friends and family who came over. Realizing what Ruby needed was training and something to focus all her energy on, I decided to foster her in the hopes to find her a forever home. She has a huge ball obsession so that became the tool used to channel her energy. She was such a character, that she became a “foster failure” and I couldn’t be more proud of it. She still has some behavioral issues we are working through, but she has come to be a huge part of the family. After the passing of Chloe, Ruby has taken charge of the pack and is now Queen Bee. She is not afraid to tell you when you are out of control (in her eyes). Her “herding” personality definitely shows during these moments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/1601255020899-EZE9JKQCSMPYPSXCZ90J/Kylo%27s+Profile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6e93fc40240b5c06402a02/4bd986fb-a79a-4c3b-86c9-07e605dec210/Welcome+Rey.png https://www.lifewithspoiledrescues.com/my-dog-ate-it daily 0.75 2020-11-24
