keetamouse Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Does anyone have an up to date list of breed specific rescue. Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It will vary from state to state and from time to time. Breed specific rescue seems to burn out rescuers more rapidly than all breed, but I'm not sure why. I don't think that an up to date list would stay up to date very long is what I'm trying to say. Good luck with that. Sometimes the breed club in the state is a great place to ask for breed rescues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Maybe just a list of breed clubs for each state might be easier, most club secretaries will be more than happy to forward on an email to whoever the most relevant breed rescue person is at that time if they can. As always I'll coordinate basset hounds but the last two have been sorted privately before rescue intervention was required as is often the case with appealing uncommon breeds.

~Anne~ Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Some breed clubs will only rescue purebred and papered dogs though. A list of breed specific rescues, including breed club rescues, would be better. There is a pinned thread above with breed specific rescues but I'm not sure how current it is?

No, a club only rescuing purebred dogs is not the only breed specific rescue. Many breed specific rescues are not affiliated with breed clubs at all. A lot of them will rescue any dog that resembles their specific breed, including obvious crosses. Edited June 24, 2014 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know of plenty of club rescues that only rescue purebreds but they do not require them to have pedigree papers. I thought this thread wanted contact details for breed specific rescues. I have no idea how people identify an "obvious cross" but if they're taking them on, that's beyond breed specific rescue isn't it? Whippet Club of NSW is one of these and its contact details are on the breed page. If people don't want to get the Club involved, that's their business but the Club will see to whatever dogs are brought to their attention and they do a better job of fostering and rehoming dogs placed with them than some others. The dogs don't end up kennelled for months for a start. If people don't want to visit the breed page for club details, they need merely to advertise the dogs by breed in the rescue thread. We'll see them soon enough. Otherwise this thread will require 5 different contacts to be updated. If there are non-club affiliated other Whippet rescues, I don't know who they are.

RuralPug Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hmm to me breed specific rescues often include crosses, near cousins of the breed etc. Breed CLUB rescue on the other hand, I notice often restricting themselves to purebreeds (although not all of them do.) Often the reason for a breed specific rescue is that one or more of the characteristics of the breed means it is best for them to be cared for by breed experts and rehomed carefully, rather than sit in a pound and be sold off to the first applicant, or be fostered without knowledge of special needs. Some examples of this: rescues for a small brachy breed may take crosses and other small brachy breeds as within their field of specialty/competence. A Saluki or Afghan rescue might take on most of the less common sighthounds. Some spitz rescues may take most large spitzes and their crosses. A Mastiff rescue might take on any Mastiff or giant breed. I pretty much consider any rescue that selects for its carer's expertise in a particular type or group of types of dogs to be breed specific. I suspect one of the extreme examples of this is Australian Working Dog Rescue Inc. which will take on pretty much any of the farm terriers or Australian herding breeds or their crosses. I consider them a breed specific rescue (perhaps many wouldn't) since they are trying to rehabilitate and appropriately place those dogs that share the background and needs of Australian Working dogs. That is my personal opinion, and I can understand why some might consider the title "breed specific rescue" inappropriate for some of these groups, but we don't really have any other label. Perhaps there should be more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the life of me I can't understand why you can't accept there are breed specific rescues outside of breed clubs and that some breed clubs refuse to rescue dogs whose heritage is unknown. Why are we even discussing this to such an extent. It's common knowledge. As you surely must know, I ran a breed specific rescue. I am speaking from first hand experience. You have another knowledgable poster above, who has been involved in breed specific rescue for many, many years, stating the same thing. I was not affiliated with a breed club. I rescued any pug regardless of its background. There were, and possibly still are, pug clubs that would NOT rescue pugs that were believed to be byb. There are MANY breed specific rescues that are not affiliated with breed clubs as I already stated. Going back to my original point, it is therefore sensible that contact details should be broader than breed club details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) A breed specific rescue will generally only rescue its breed.......that's why they are breed specific. The purebred dog of their given breed is generally a breed they have been involved in for a decade, sometimes a life time, they know it well, they sometimes know specific lines and the health and temperament of those lines > some breeds are unique and require specialised care where possible. When you cross breed a dog then it no longer has predictable traits of the purebred so please don't poo poo that, it makes perfect sense. In addition their community go to them for that breed not that breed x. For many years Great Dane Rescue NSW was breed specific (no Dane x's) and oh my the hell we got from some all breeds rescue folks who wanted us to save the 1001 Dane x's in pounds... Understand most breed specific rescues are run by 1 person, not a network of foster carers so a cross breed taking the room of a purebred which they are meant to take defeats the purpose of their breed specific rescue....we have had cases before where we have had Dane x's in care and then a purebred Dane has come up and we had no room to take it and it was euthanised....then we get abused by the breed community. There are all breed rescues and there are breed specific rescues > support each other even if you don't get it. Our rescue was not affiliated with the club, the club would not take dogs on themselves due to liability. In regards to papers, we can look at a Dane and know it's a Dane (in most cases), we do have BYB Danes that can look a bit different sometimes, we don't need papers, if the dog has papers then it can go back to its breeder (if they will take it).

Perhaps there should be more... Good explanation RP :) I suppose it depends on the individual rescue whether they choose to take crosses or only apparent pure breeds. Maybe different labels would be helpful, but then I'd hate to think that someone looking at a dog needing to get out of a pound or shelter would not bother contacting a particular breed rescue to see if they'd consider taking a dog that is believed to be a cross of their breed because they thought they would only take pure breeds. Especially as a number of them will take mixes. I completely understand choosing to only take pure breeds though and they should not be made to feel guilty for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I agree they shouldn't be made to feel guilty about not taking crosses and I'm sorry if that is the impression I gave. My original comment was with regard to contacts for breed specific rescues, which should be broader than breed clubs because some only take papered dogs or presumably papered dogs. Breed specific to me, and most rescuers, is far more broad than breed club rescues. Edited June 27, 2014 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much consider any rescue that selects for its carer's expertise in a particular type or group of types of dogs to be breed specific. Agree with this, for example with the rarer sighthounds quite a few people who have been involved in Saluki/Afghan/Borzoi rescue have helped out with Pharaohs. They are all different, but they tend to be challenging in similar ways. I once took some small terriers because it was Christmas, it was a friend whose home had been foreclosed, and I didn't want to impose on rescue at such a shitty time of year. They are not my bag, and I'd rather deal with an escaping Saluki with separation anxiety than the little terrierists. On the other hand, a terrier rescue person would no doubt see things in reverse.
