First~my Bogey was just over 1 when I brought him home from the shelter. He was a spazzzzz! Now 1 year later he is the best little guy that I could have ever asked for
Second~there is a difference between a rescue and a shelter dog. A rescue should have been in a foster home, you will be able to meet him and get a better idea of you are compatible. I took a chance with Bogey and he is perfect!
My Doodlebug is a rescue that I adopted as a puppy so it is totally possible to be able to have both. Truth be told, I wouldn't change a single thing about either one.
Finally, I am not opposed to anyone purchasing a puppy either as long as you do it the right way. No bybers, puppymills, pet shops~make an educated well researched purchase.
