Rehoming but not via a charity

[GColdtimer]

Totally new to this board (but not to MN). We have decided to get a rescue dog and have been looking for a couple of weeks. Dds are 8 and 12. We are keen to get a cocker and are willing to wait for the right dog. I just found out A friend of a friend is looking to rehome their 3 year old because they are moving abroad with a job.

I need advice please. Should I steer clear? If not, what questions should I ask. We were just looking at rescues snd hadn't considered rehoming from a family.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

He's just beautiful. The Many Tears website just breaks my heart. So glad you have given him a home. With regards to the family looking to rehome their dog it makes me so mad! Why can't the husband take his dog abroad with him?! I do hope that poor dog ends up in a nice home. You absolutely did the right thing walking away though.
