So, DP and I want to get a dog. Definitely not a puppy.
We live in a rented house, so would have to get out landlords permission, which is fine. We are planning on staying here for a good few years, and our landlord is great so I don't envisage a problem there.
However... the house we live in has a sort of 'communal' garden set up. We live on a row of 6 houses, which each has their own long thin garden; each garden is split into section by a path which runs along the back of the houses leading to the garages. So, in essence we don't have a 'secure' garden in that sense. One of our neighbours does have a dog, which leads me to believe that it is entirely possible to have a dog with this kind of garden set up...
But I also know that rescues like you to have your own secure, fenced garden. Is there any chance a rescue would home to us? If not, are there any alternatives to rescues for getting an adult dog? As I said, we don't want a puppy, but nor do I want to get a dog from somewhere dodgy!!
Thanks :)

The doghouse
Would I be laughed out of a rescue?
