We have now decided to adopt a rescue dog, but I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with it. There are so many unwanted dogs it breaks my heart :( I don't know how to start deciding where to go and who to pick! I want to make sure we do our research thoroughly and only take on what we can manage, I couldn't bear to be another person who lets these dogs down.
Could anyone give me their experiences of adopting a dog from a rescue centre? Also, if you adopted an older dog, how did you find the experience and were there any special issues you needed to take into consideration given their age (I'm thinking insurance for illnesses and things)? What steps, if any, did you take before bringing a dog into your home?
