We are lucky enough to be at a point in our life where we'd like our own dog. Can't believe that we don't have one as we both (Dp and I) are from dog mad households.
I have been contacting rescue centres for 10 months and can't even get my foot in the door.
We have a lovely big secure garden. Dd is 6 and very dog/animal savvy as we spend a lot of time on family farm with lots of furry creatures. We have money to throw at adoption/training/vets bills.
I work from home, Dp is a student. Lots of boxes being ticked here.
But every enquiry is met with "You're too far away" (we would literally travel the length of the country for a dog.) or "you sound lovely but rover needs a calm home/other animals/no children"
We are used to animals with behavioural issues as farm dogs were all rescued but it's just not happening.
We are going to start looking at breeders because it's just getting silly.
