We reserve the right to refuse to place any dog, for any reason. Neither of these breeds are right for every person. They both offer unique challenges, and rewards. If you have done some research on the breed you desire, and are sure you want to go ahead with a rescue, you should be aware of several things. First, the chances are slim that you will be able to find a puppy.
Most rescues are adults.
Some have had wonderful starts, and are well rounded adults. However, the implication of getting a rescue dog is that you may well be getting a dog with a problem you will need to solve, or training you find undesirable. You may be facing some retraining, or reprogramming. Sometimes you get a dog that seems like a terror, but after several months of consistant patience, love, and training, you find a real gem underneath that blossoms into the greatest friend you've ever known. Generally in a few weeks you do get a feel for how things are going, and will be able to ask for advice on specific problems.
