I have no problem with a shelter dog. I have adopted many in the past from my local pound even if I couldnt keep them I paid to release them, Fostered and usually found a great home for them, I didnt get a shelter dog this time because there were only HUGE dogs and I dont have room for a huge dog. The small ones always were spoken for, I knew what I wanted and waited it out. The process is a bit difficult for little dogs with families and the bigger dogs were not an option with their unknown histories,. I have adopted larger older dogs and they have proved unfit for families with kids. Nearly every one of them had agression or nippiness towards kids.
