Should I Expect Something Different From a Labrador Rescue
Dog?
When considering a Labrador rescue keep in mind they will have many
extra needs and will require a good deal of extra work. If you are going to be
gone often or if you are too busy to spend a good deal of time with your Labrador
rescue, you may want to reconsider your choice. Knowing what to expect from your
Labrador rescue dog can make the decision process easier.
What Will Be
Different?
A Labrador rescue will require extra love and affection as well
as possibly needing extra training and health care. Often Labrador rescues have
been neglected or abused and don’t know how to deal with human affection or love.
They might run away or even growl when you get to close to them. If the Labrador
rescue has been starved they may also become very territorial about their food.
Therefore, if you know what to expect from a Labrador rescue dog, it is easier
to prepare.
The average Labrador is social, lovable and playful and the
perfect pet for a family with children. Be very careful in selecting a Labrador
rescue if you have children. Ask for history, see how it reacts to your children
before bring him home. The Labrador rescue might react strangely to loud noises,
a particular gender, smell or even a person with a gruff tone to their voice.
Consider getting to know all of these things around your home before adopting
a Labrador rescue.
Training
Be prepared to have to housebreak or
even teach obedience to a Labrador rescue dog. Depending on the personality you
may find that your Labrador wants you within their sight all of the time and require
constant reassurance and affection to feel secure. You may also find your Labrador
rescue to be very protective of you and may become agitated when others are too
close to your or your property. He may not play well with other animals so before
adopting a Labrador rescue ask about interaction with other dogs or animals before
taking him home.
Do not ever expect adopting a Labrador rescue to be easy
but you can expect a great deal or love and appreciation in return. A Labrador
is loving and loyal and very protective of their home and their people. Once a
Labrador rescue decides that you are their human they will give back all that
you have given them tenfold. Always remember to shower your Labrador rescue with
kindness, patience, love and affection and in time he will begin to come around
and enjoy your company as much as you enjoy his. Once you know what to expect
from a Labrador rescue dog, you should weigh the pros
and cons of Labrador rescue before taking the plunge.
