The Ottawa Doggie Club

We have started a facebook group to organize doggie play groups in Ottawa and surrounding areas. The group grew to about 70 member's in less then a week. So us and the members decided why not start trying to raise money for dog rescue organizations and charities. We are waiting for the nice weather to come so we can start our play dates :) Feel free to join our facebook group where we will be posting outings and charity and fundraising events on behalf of some of the rescues :)

Why rescue a dog instead of buy from a pet store or online?

Why rescue a dog instead of buy from a pet store or online?

 There are lots of reasons why you should rescue a dog instead of buying them from a pet store or doggy mill.

One of the biggest main reasons is that you’ll be saving a life.

Think about it.. Most of the dogs and /or puppies that you can buy online (kijiji/usedottawa) have come from a puppy mills Therefore over breeding, inbreeding and more homeless dogs that end up at shelters or rescues. Not to mention the well being of the poor dogs that are being over bred..  Most pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills so you would be supporting them.. Bad Idea?  I think so…

 When adopting a foster or shelter dog you will be saving a life of a poor dog or puppy that didn’t ask to be brought into this world or be dealt the cards he/she was dealt.

You will end up with a forever companion that will love you endlessly and will appreciate the fact that you have provided him/her a forever home.

Not only are you saving a life you will have a new pet that will have been worked with by the rescue it came from, Spayed or Neutered and up to date with vaccines.  Can not get any better then that!

 I hope that if you are looking to purchase a new dog you will first consider going to look at a rescue or shelter..
