Butcher's Pet Care And DogsBlog.com Debunk Dog Adoption Myths
(PRBuzz) September 21, 2010 --  Pet care firm and UK's largest dog adoption website team up to debunk dog adoption myths.

For many, the idea of adopting or 'rescuing' a dog carries with it a certain image. Some people mistakenly look at dog adoption as if it's buying cheap, discounted or broken goods. But, according to an initiative between national dog adoption website DogsBlog.com and Butcher's Pet Care, a UK family company that prides itself in having fed generations of family dog, with tasty recipes that are free from any artificial colours flavours or preservatives; nothing could be further from the truth. As more and more dogs find themselves, through no fault of their own, inside the British dog shelter system, the image of the 'rescue dog' is in need of an update.

No longer are shelters the preserve of the 'problem dog', but they are packed with dogs of all types, from all manner of backgrounds.

Ryan O'Meara, co-founder of DogsBlog.com says:

"For decades now, dogs in rescue seem to have suffered with the stigma of people mistakenly assuming there is something inherently wrong with them or that they ended up in rescue due to some problem with their behaviour. The reality is quite different. With so many healthy, well-behaved dogs being surrendered to shelters every week, adopting a dog has never been a more intelligent choice for new dog owners."

DogsBlog.com offers easy access to view dogs looking for new homes all over the country and thanks to their partnership with Butcher's Pet Care, advice is always on hand for those people who are thinking about adopting a dog.

Sometimes dogs arrive in rescue centres through natural causes such as owners passing away. Very often though dogs are simply abandoned for no other reason that poor decisions on behalf of hasty owners.

National Dog Adoption Month is running this September.
