About Us
Report
Since 1987, Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue has been working with local area shelters and private individuals to find homes for unwanted or abandoned purebred dogs. SPDR's rescue approach is characterized by a team of volunteers called Breed Representatives. These individuals typically possess first-hand knowledge and years of experience with a particular breed, and have been carefully screened and trained by SPDR to coordinate that breed's rescue. This breed-specific expertise is what sets SPDR apart, both during and after the adoption process.
Rescue and Referral
Report
SPDR receives reports from shelters about purebreds needing rescue. SPDR is also contacted by individuals who can no longer keep their purebred dog. Sometimes SPDR may place dogs into temporary foster homes. SPDR refers prospective adopters to available dogs, by sending the adopters to the shelter or to the individual holding the dog.
Benefits of SPDR Rescue
Report
They can rescue a purebred, possibly saving its life, and feel good about providing a loving home. They can consult with a knowledgeable person for assistance in finding a dog of their chosen breed, and the right dog for their situation. They can continue to keep in touch with SPDR's Breed Rep for ongoing advice about ownership, training, and behavior.
How To Choose
Report
Choosing a dog involves far more than what breed looks attractive to you, or what you remember about a dog you knew as a child. Learn what the breed was originally bred to do. Behavior can be modified, but basic instincts-forged through selective breeding over decades or longer-cannot be changed. Does the breed's inherent behavior sound like a fit with your household and lifestyle?
