If you are looking to adopt a Papillon from a rescue shelter but are not sure how to go about finding a good Papillon rescue shelter then you need to start by understanding a little bit about what dog rescue shelters in general are all about.

The first and, probably, the most important thing to know is that these dog rescue shelters have been established and are run by people who love dogs. These people are committed to their mission and they are working the way so every dog in their shelter receives excellent care, love, affection and plenty of attention until they can find a permanent loving home for the animals in their care. Because the people who run these shelters are, in many cases, all volunteers, they are often spending their own money for the expensive vet care, food and other supplies needed to keep the animals they are sheltering in good health, happy and well socialised.

The adoption fees charged by these shelters are quite small and they often do not cover all the care a rescued dog may have received to get it healthy enough to go to a new home. That being said, it is safe to say that most Papillon dog rescue shelters are good, even excellent. Of course that there can be always exceptions, so in order to know for sure that the Papillon rescue and adoption centre you want to get your dog from really meets your requirements, it is recommended to visit the facility and talk to the people working there.

If a shelter does not welcome your visit this should send up some red flags.

During your visit at the rescue centre, observe the hygiene of the facility and also the way in which the personnel interacts with to the animals in their care.
