<p>Yes, it does help. I will 'google' the ? also and see what comes up. There is of course hope for a dog with this kind of habit and with time and patience and realizing he can keep his food and his sock he can relax and be at peace ;) Even though I am 65 this year, I am also very active but time has taught me patience is a great healer and teacher. I have time now for both :)</p>

<p>There are varying levels and symptoms of resource guarding but the basic of it is he "guards" something like his food or a bone and will growl and at it's worst, might bite if another dog or person tries to take it. I have a dog who is o RG and he treasures socks. He will get one every once in awhile and won't let it go for anything. Just carries it. He is a low level guarder but when I first got him he was terrible. It takes a lot of patience, but it can usually be overcome. You would have…</p>

He is a low level guarder but when I first got him he was terrible. It takes a lot of patience, but it can usually be overcome. You would have to do some research if you adopted a RG and be aware of triggers, but there is hope if you did adopt a guarder. I hope that helps.</p> Thanks so much for taking tim…tag:www.doodlerescuecollective.com,2013-05-26:2747693:Comment:2008442013-05-26T22:59:34.165Z1hdrl4zp59ffuhttp://www.doodlerescuecollective.com/xn/detail/u_1hdrl4zp59ffu
<p>Thanks so much for taking time to answer me Lynn. I was looking at a dog, I think his name was Bently and he has "recourse qaurding issue". Could you please tell me a little about this. I am actually a little hard of hearing and actually looking for a dog that will bark if a stranger comes around, not to attack but let me know. I know nothing about this particular hummm trait for lack of a better word. Could you please inlighten me a bit because it may actually be something that if directed…</p>

I know nothing about this particular hummm trait for lack of a better word. Could you please inlighten me a bit because it may actually be something that if directed the right way could help me. Hope that makes sense since I know nothing about it.

<p>Welcome, Suzy and Thank you. It's been awhile since I have had time to write, but the rescue takes much of my time. Searching for your Furever Friend can be time consuming, too but keep with it. Your perfect pooch is out there waiting for you. </p>

<p>Please be patient with me Lynn, as I find my way around your web site. This is wonderful info. about the dif. between shelters and private rescue. This is a fun but important decision to make both for me and a dog looking for that forever home and companion too. I hope to find a dog in Va. or the Northern part of NC. if possible because it would be easier for me to get there and to get to know the dog. Anyway I'm just going to look around the site and familiarize myself with it. Thanks,…</p>

I have to add that there are private rescue groups who have their own shelters. This is a goal for many rescues. There are private shelters which are state of the art facilities, usually much nicer than even your favorite doggie boarding facility or day care. These places are absolutely no kill and do not take every dog that comes along, so they are rarely overcrowded. They provide full veterinary care, behavioral assessments, training, education programs, and screen adoption applicants as…
I have to add that there are private rescue groups who have their own shelters. This is a goal for many rescues. There are private shelters which are state of the art facilities, usually much nicer than even your favorite doggie boarding facility or day care. These places are absolutely no kill and do not take every dog that comes along, so they are rarely overcrowded. They provide full veterinary care, behavioral assessments, training, education programs, and screen adoption applicants as rigorously as any private rescue out there. Some shelters can have an application 5 pages long.<br />
<br />
I would much rather have a dog in that place than fostered in some of the private homes I know. So it's important to understand that not all shelters are bad, and not all shelters allow anyone who applies to adopt an animal.<br />
<br />
Just because an animal happens to be in an "animal shelter" does not mean that animal isn't being well taken care of or is in any danger.
