In fact a lot of the slightly older ones will already be house broken and well trained and just need a new loving family and a safe place to call home. Please just think about it.
Hi there. I have decided yes, because in the past I have rescued a couple of dogs off the streets.

Not sure of actual mileage but to collect my 'pup' I drove from NE England to Paris (return trip of 1,500miles) flew to Washington State and back - four flights, two ferry trips for two nights in USA. To top it all their vet hadn't done the titre test so poor pup spent 6months in a 'hotel' in Calais and I had another 1k miles round trip to collect him which I did in a day! Set off at 6am and back home by 1.30am following morning - unfortunately I had to be up at 5am as I was judging at an agility show all day... fortunately I'd planned for a friend to drive us in my van or I'd not have made it home. As it was there were so many course changes we left the venue at 7.30pm after I'd done lots of presentations for the other judge (agility) who was finishing her last class as we pulled out! He's worth it though although cost me a lot more money than I'd expected!
Blondie, Coffee and Elles like this.

Good luck on your search
We had one like that when I was little. That's what started my love affair with them. I quite fancy calling one Shep to be able to utter those immortal words by John Noakes "ooh get down Shep"

Love your signature BTW
