Don't rescue
or adopt a Jack Russel until you read these top ten mistakes made with Jack Russel
rescue!
There are often many mistakes that people make when they are looking
at a Jack Russel rescue dog for a pet. Sometimes, these mistakes can ruin the
life of the dog or the people who have adopted it. Make sure that you aren’t making
them.
Top Ten Mistakes
The first mistake is to pick a Jack Russel
rescue dog on appearance. If you go to a shelter, you might be tempted to pick
a dog based on how they look. However, this is a mistake because you need to pick
a dog on temperament. Are they good with other pets and children and people? Are
they friendly or timid? Pick a dog based on those things.
The second mistake
is to believe that the shelter knows all the history about the dog. There might
be things about the dog that the shelter doesn’t know you or doesn’t tell you.
Make sure you keep this in mind when you bring your Jack Russel rescue dog home.
The third mistake is to assume that the dog has had a good life. Most of
the time, with Jack Russel rescue dogs, they have probably not been taken care
of. If you assume that they have had a good life, they might do things that surprise
you and you might not be ready for.
The fourth is to assume that the previous
owners trained the dog. You might have to potty train and obedience train your
Jack Russel rescue dog from scratch, so be prepared for that. The fifth mistake
involves thinking that your Jack Russel has not been abused. Even if the shelter
says it wasn’t, you never know what might have happened to your dog. Watch him
careful for signs of abuse or anger, and take appropriate action. The sixth mistake
is to think that your dog cannot be trained because it isn’t a puppy. Even if
you are the new owner of an older Jack Russel rescue dog, you can still train
it to do things that you want it to do. It just might take a little bit longer
to do.
The seventh mistake that is often made is thinking that once you
have a dog you are stuck with it. If you are rescuing a Jack Russel, and you bring
one home that doesn’t fit into your home, it is probably better that the dog is
given back to make sure it can find a home that it will fit better into.
The
eighth mistake is to think it is good with kids. It might not be. Keep this in
mind. The ninth mistake that most people make is to think that they can leave
the dog alone soon after adopting a Jack Russel. It might take time but it will
be worth it. The tenth and final mistake that people make regarding a Jack Russel
rescue is to think that it isn’t worth the time. It is worth the time, and for
that one little dog, it is the best thing you could ever do. Just make sure you
know what
to expect from a Jack Russel rescue dog.
