He only had one dog growing up (a rotty that was an outside dog!), but now we have Deegan. He just thinks that rescue dogs are somehow "damaged" or will have behavioral problems or something & only wants to adopt from a breeder. Plus he really likes the puppy stage too and as most rescuse are older, he won't agree to getting this one I found yesterday. I'm so angry and trying to convince him that any dog can have issues regardles of being rescues or not... I want him to experience how great it feel to give a second chance to a lonely homeless pup, but I'm not making any progress with him. If anyone has any ideas on how I might change his mind, please let me know. I really, really want to adopt the lil one on pet finder.

Your husband and my husband must be related!! I'm in the same situation - I want to find an older yorkie (I have been looking on petfinder too) and he thinks a puppy would be better. He told me, "you don't want some dog that has been attached to somebody else". I want to take him to the pound and drop him off!!! Seriously! He is making me mad.
