It’s a fantastic feeling when you adopt a rescue dog in the knowledge that you could be saving it's life. You can take them home, give them all the love they have been missing out on and soon they will adore you.

Older dogs (usually rescue dogs) can be a great choice for older owners with their calmer and more docile nature. They can also adapt well to a family setting especially with children, but make sure that you introduce your children to the dog before you buy it to make sure that it is child friendly. Older dogs typically require a lot less time and patience and are less likely to get under your feet. They can sometimes need a little longer to settle into their new home, especially if the dog was mistreated by it’s previous owners.
