I think rescue pets know they have been given a second chance in life.

Our last two dogs have been rescue dogs - a black lab



and the guy I call the "Little Rat Dog" Don't have a pic of him, but he looks kinda like this:



(not really)

The only problem I have with rescue dogs is you most of the time don't know the animal's history. Nothing about the parents, nothing about upbringing. There can be psychological issues. We have the attitude, however, that once you have a dog, you have it for life. They are not throwaway items [we have friends who have had 6 or so dogs in the last 3 years. They get a dog and then decide it is not working out, and get rid of it. I won't do that]. At this point in my life, I'm not sure I want to take a chance on taking on a dog without knowing much about its temperment and background.

Our next dog, which is going to be a Goldendoodle, will be coming from a breeder for the above reasons.
