was this dog rescued?

yes. when we adopted Marzipan at 3 months of age, she was afraid of
everything, literally. we started socializing her right away, taking her to public places and dog training classes. we took puppy classes, obedience classes and even an agility class (to help her overcome her fear of objects). in fact, we have continued to take obedience classes and are considering competition because she is now 3 and has grown up to be a really incredible dog.

she had a rough start in life, but with love and perseverance we have helped her to become the dog she was meant to be.

no one should ever turn down a dog because they are a rescue. instead, people should be sensible and reasonable when adopting dogs, any dog. they should adopt dogs that are most likely to fit their (the people’s) lifestyle and needs, and then continue to work with the dog to help him or her learn and grow. dogs fail because people fail them, period. it has nothing to do with their being a particular breed, a rescue or whatever.
