Don't shelter or rescue dogs come with too many problems?
Shelter and rescue dogs do on the average come with some issues. Shelter or rescue dogs have lost their first pack, their first human, and so they tend to almost over-bond with the new owner. So you have to just know what you are getting into with shelter or rescue dogs. You have to assess that shelter or rescue dog and now the shelters are getting really, really smart and they are starting to do their own shelter assessments, so that when you walk in and you have a child and a family and you want just a really easy going shelter or rescue dog they're going to direct you to that dog as opposed to just letting you go through and "Oh, I like that dog", because he's cute. That isn't necessarily going to work for you.
