Now we have rescued (formerly unwanted) dogs number 4 and 5. It can take a while for an adult dog to learn to accept his new life and realize that this is where he belongs, but it is worth it when you see the light go on and become the recipient of its total affection.
So now I would say: Do your research, pick a breed, do more research and find the right rescue association. They come in a variety of sexes (male, female and neutered) and ages, and you should get much more than you expected - a devoted pet and a "free" model. Larry in Dallas ======== Wow, thanks. Makes me want to rescue one now. But it has to wait until home conditions are better. I will definitely look into rescue first. For sure. Thanks, Marnie
