103. Why Rescue Dogs Are Not For Everyone
Tuesday, 9 December, 2025
We talk a lot about "adopt, don't shop," but rarely about the unseen cost when a rescue dog's needs exceed a family's capacity. And that mismatch can break hearts on both sides. In this episode, I explore why rescue dogs with unknown backgrounds are not the right fit for every household, and why acknowledging that truth is an act of responsibility, not selfishness. I share the real patterns I've seen as a trainer: families drowning under unexpected behavior issues, dogs struggling in environments they can't cope with, and the guilt and overwhelm that follow.
