i went to the local dogstrust and love a couple of the dogs there. The lady i was talking to advised us against getting a dog for a few weeks until we are settled into the new house which is wise. We will prob get a dog after xmas because we will be going across to scotland over xmas to see my parents so wouldnt be fair leaving a dog not long after you get it!!
How long is the process from seeing the dog you want, to actually getting it?
There is a 5yr old german shepherd cross i want. Lovely looking dog. OH wants a puppy though. I want a rescue dog. Dunno what to do.

On another note, whats it like getting a dog from a local council pound?? Or is it best getting from the likes of the dogs trust/rspca etc?
