Older dogs can go for more than a few minutes without having to go potty. This means these dogs can be perfect for busy people who do not have the time to deal with young puppy behaviors. You know what the dog will look like and how big the dog will be when it is grown. Most of all, rescue dogs are usually very grateful for the kindness shown to them. Many of these dogs have lived the rotten side of life and understand when they when they have it good.
Rescue dogs have lots of love to give.
There can be some challanges to adopting a rescue. Sometimes you have behaviors that have never been corrected which need work. In the case of our hounds, since most of them were hunting dogs, many are not housebroken or crate trained. Many have had to fend for themselves and are very independent. Sometimes a dog has never had the opportunity to trust anyone and doesn't trust people.
