...it's not as easy as that, is it? We have had dogs for years, different breeds/ages/sexes. We currently have a six year old spaniel who we adopted from the English springer spaniel welfare, when I was pregnant. Our lurcher is getting a bit doddery and unwell , so we'd like to introduce another dog during the next six months or so, as a companion to the spaniel when she goes, bless her. . Not fussy about breed, would prefer a mix/mongrel really. Smaller than a lurcher would be ideal, though not critical. I thought we were quite flexible in our requirements, but apparently not. None of the dogs I've seen can live with other dogs or primary ages children.
I'd always been a bit sceptical of adopting from abroad, but I can now see why it's becoming popular, as it's increasingly difficult to adopt the thousands of dogs who need homes in the UK! Has anyone any recent experience of this and how did you approach it? I know it shouldn't be easy to adopt them, but if you have a child or another dog, it would appear that it's impossible.
