Are Rescue Dogs Good With Cats?

Are Rescue Dogs Good With Cats? It Really DependsAs someone who has lived  with numerous rescue dogs and cats over the years (currently 4 dogs and 6 cats) and been foster parent to many more, I can confidently respond to the question of whether rescue dogs are good with cats.
6-minute video:
The answer? It depends. 



While I’ve seen rescue dogs that are perfectly capable of getting along with their feline roommates, it ultimately comes down to the individual dog’s temperament, background, experience, and genetics, and the same with the cat. 

Some rescue dogs may be fearful of cats, while others may be all too eager to play or chase them. 

Some cats will be fearful of dogs, so you have to factor that in too.

So if you’re considering adopting a rescue dog and already have a cat at home, take heart: with time, patience, and proper introductions, there’s a good chance the pup can become best friends with your kitty.

Or at least a friendly acquaintance. 

Short on time? We’ve condensed the essentials from this article into this 6-minute video:

Key Takeaways
Understanding the individual temperament and needs of rescue dogs is crucial to ensuring a successful adoption and integration into your home.
Introducing a new dog into a household with a cat requires time, patience, and careful management to ensure the safety and well-being of both animals.
With proper training and socialization, rescue dogs and cats can usually build positive relationships and live together harmoniously

A magnificent castle founded on the top of a hill could be seen over the horizon, with grandiose walls surrounding it's premises.

A magnificent castle founded on the top of a hill could be seen over the horizon, with grandiose walls surrounding it's premises. The gates of the castle were wide open and the carriages of rich nobles trooped in. The air seemed lighter,  the sun seemed to have a noble glow to it. Cherry smiles and laughter could be seen and heard all around Inside one of the castle rooms, a beautiful young lady stood watching the crowd of nobles below through the window of her room. She rubbed her fingers against the flat end of a wooden necklace that had three sevens grafted on it's surface. It was a departing gift from someone dear to her. Her eyes were dull and lacked excitement. The merry seemed to be non-existent within the walls of her luxurious room. "Lady Rose! Are you dressed yet? The ceremony is about to begin" the sound of a knock was heard in the room, accompanied by the voice of one of the King's servant.  Silence prevailed until the door creaked open as Rose's p...

The Ooh-La-La Fake Feminism of That Big Naked Medusa Statue By the Courthouses Luciano Garbati

The Ooh-La-La Fake Feminism of That Big Naked Medusa Statue By the Courthouses Luciano Garbati, Medusa With the Head of Perseus, 2008. Photo: Courtesy of MWTH Project and the artist On the good side, the idiotic, generic, realist bronze sculpture of Medusa With the Head of Perseus — a 2008 sculpture by 47-year-old Argentine craftsman-artist Luciano Garbati now installed across from the courthouses on Centre Street — isn’t quite as bad as that awful  rhinoceros stack that adorned Astor Place a few years back. It’s not the overwhelming folly that Thomas Heatherwick’s gyros-shaped Vessel is, his public amusement sculpture plunked down in the middle of Hudson Yards. Public art is hard to do well, unless maybe you’re Kara Walker. Still, this explicitly naked, seven-foot female statue with shaved pudenda is still pure crapola and shouldn’t be here at all. Placed here by the New York City Parks’ Art in the Parks program — an organization that has previously done great work — Medusa is typ...

The First Liberian Civil War ended in August 1997 when Charles Taylor took power as the President of Liberia

The First Liberian Civil War ended in August 1997 when Charles Taylor took power as the President of Liberia.  Taylor had initiated the war when he and his militia, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), invaded the country from the Ivory Coast to overthrow President Samuel Doe in December 1989. The NPFL rapidly conquered most of Liberia except for the capital Monrovia, which came under the control of the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL), a splinter group led by Prince Johnson. The INPFL captured and executed Doe in September 1990 and resisted attempts by the NPFL to take Monrovia, denying Taylor an outright victory and prolonging the war for years. A peace agreement was signed in 1996 between the major factions and resulted in the 1997 Liberian general election. Taylor won a landslide victory with 75% of the vote for the presidency, while his National Patriotic Party dominated the Legislature of Liberia. His success was mainly due to his control ove...

The End Of The Naked Dress? Designers Return To A More Refined Take On Sexy

The End Of The Naked Dress? Designers Return To A More Refined Take On Sexy While the autumn winter 2023 shows delivered a slew of unforgettable moments, this season as a whole felt particularly void of social-media gimmicks. The focus instead? Clothes that were exceptionally well-made, which resulted in exquisite tailoring and razor-sharp lines. But there was also a subtle undercurrent of tactility throughout, some body-conscious and some more textural, which felt sensuous in the most elevated way.  Even though New York and London fashion weeks, respectively, may have featured spectacles that exuded playfulness, such as Christopher Kane’s AI-generated pig print and Collina Strada’s shredded prairie dresses, there were a few collections that concentrated on sophisticated eveningwear. In New York, for example, Gabriela Hearst’s floor-length gowns with peekaboo hips felt quietly sensual, while LaQuan Smith achieved the ideal harmony between his signature daring cut-out details and pr...
