We have a dog. His buddy was pts a year ago. We'd like another one.
We have children
I work part time
We have a secure garden
Own our own house
We have money to support an older dog with medical issues
And yet we have Devils own job to rescue a dog. I'd really like a greyhound.
We have been in touch with the local centre. 21 dogs. Not one suitable for us 
. I have been in touch with our dog trainer - knows of a lady who has one in foster that could be suitable. Sent her a along message last week, was going to receive a call weds/thurs then I had a message saying how busy they are. Ok I understand, but surely if you have one ready for adoption then you free up a space for a new dog in need.
I know rescues have to be careful. I know that we should be patient but bloody hell I'm on the brink of buying a cute pup from Facebook or a 'change in circumstances' dog from gumtree not really. Not in a million years
.
This is a rant. I know I have to be patient. I will be patient. I know how hard rescue centres work. I just would like another wet nose and waggy tail in my life.
