We lost our collie cross a few weeks ago and are looking for another dog now. We're looking on the rescue sites at the moment and it seems to be soooo hard to find a suitable dog, despite there being hundreds needing homes! We've applied for some just now but I really don't like the bidding for a dog approach with potentially hundreds of other applicants all applying based on just a photo of a dog, would much rather be checked and registered with an organisation and then be able to view dogs with the family to see which ones we take to the best.
Has anyone else felt like this about rescue dogs? Any tips at all? Or organisations that are really good to work with? Don't really want to have to search for breeders etc as it feels morally wrong but the whole rescue thing is more tricky than I anticipated. Our last dog was from a local farm and it was so easy in comparison.
