Also we wouldn't be able to drive up to get her until at least Sunday (they are open on Sunday) because of work schedules and it being 2 hours away. So I'm not sure if they would hold her if others showed interest.

I am in fact looking for a dog who would act as a lap dog, but also keep Wrigley company/play with him. I do know they are kept outside (not in horrible conditions or anything) so house training may be an issue, since she is 6, I don't know I am just torn.

Anyone have any experience getting a 6 year old rescue?

I think both dogs are going to find homes, so don't stress too much about that. I'd lean toward the dog that you think you could take the best care of, that you think you can give the best life to and the one that would best complete your pack.

I rescued a 10-year-old to be a buddy with my 2-year-old. They haven't become best buddies in the two years since. The younger one has dominance issues. The 10-year-old still pees in the house. My guess is he was a breeder. But I wouldn't trade either one for the life of me. I don't regret my decision. I sometimes wonder if a younger dog would have gotten along better with the younger one, but it's a moot point. I love the older one just as much.
