[Jane Austen]

I like to advocate for rescueing a dog in need of a stable home. Some people just have to have a puppy. That's okay, but they are so much trouble, adorable though they may be.
I was very fortunate to get the ideal pet for my family, Duchess is everything I could want in an animal. And getting an adult dog usually will save you considerable money. I think you take as much chance in getting a puppy as you would in getting a "rescue' (one perhaps with a few problems). And you also have the knowledge that you have given a home to an animal in need.
