We are hoping to get a rescue dog and have been looking at a few sites.
We want another small dog similar size to our current cavalier and Lhasa.
RSPCA etc seem to have lots of large type dogs.
Many tears seem to have a lot of the small ex breeding etc dogs.
The many tears system has confused me, it appears that you choose a dog on the website, fill in an application, have the home check, if you are successful you meet the dog and take it home from the foster home or their kennels in wales within 3 days.
I've had rescue dogs and also bought dogs from family homes before.
I've always met the dog/ puppy, and been able to see them in person, how they interact etc, and been able to make a decision as to whether they will fit into our family .
Several times I've viewed dogs and have had concerns about them e.g. Being terrified of men, or I just had niggles about the breeders .
Or sometimes you just don't click with a dog.
It just feels alarming to me to pick a dog from a photo and a brief description. What if when you meet the dog you just don't click with them?
I've noticed the dogs in foster homes tend to have a few photos and much more detailed description of their behaviour etc.
has anyone had any experience of this or any suggestions for other rescues, we are in Lancashire.
