Rescuing a dog can be very rewarding for both owners and the animals, and it is often a time filled with lots of emotion. So why not make this period extra special for the rescuer in your life by purchasing a gift to remember the occasion by.
Why should I get a gift for a dog rescuer?
You may not think of getting a gift for a dog rescuer you know, but showing you care can go very far. Welcoming a new pet into the family is a big change, especially if that dog may have had tough experiences in the past.
Many rescued dogs come from hard backgrounds, sometimes having experienced abuse, abandonment or neglect. This can often make it difficult for a dog to trust again, meaning the settling-in process to their new home is turbulent. Not only can this process of trust be hard for any rescued dog, but the owner too, it works both ways.
Giving a dog rescuer a gift can be very well received by perhaps a struggling new dog mum or dad! Think about the times you received a gift when you were perhaps feeling low or struggling, did it help? It may be a small gesture, but it shows you care.
Gifts aren’t always for those struggling though! No matter what the circumstances, getting a new dog in the family is a very exciting time for everybody. Why not celebrate this with a handpicked gift for the new dog parent in your life! Whether it is a new puppy or perhaps a mature dog that has been looking for a home for some time, the new edition is worth honouring.
What type of gift is suitable for a dog rescuer?
You may be unsure what type of gift is the most appropriate for someone who has rescued a dog recently, and it can often be very overwhelming when it comes to picking out one gift that shows your thinking of them.
Gifting doesn’t always have to be a grand gesture, often the simplest of gifts mean the most. Saying that, who doesn’t love a thought-out gift from your close family or friends. You know your giftee the best, trust your instincts when it comes to gift hunting, they will be grateful for your time and thought whatever you chose.
