Hi - I got a rescued hound (he's lurcher greyhound x saluki). The rescue charity were brilliant. after the initial home check they took me to meet the dogs. Sid was the first dog to come up to me and has not left my side since - 3 years ago now! I will always recommend to people to take a rescued dog. The love they give is unconditional and the charity is always only a phone call away if you need any help with anything! For a resonable donation they neuture/spay the dog provide a lead and muzzle and all the support you could possible want. Also you can get involved with events and walks - they are good days out where you can chat to others and learn a lot.

Best of luck with what ever you decide but hnestly try to give a rescue dog a second chance - you won't regret it
