My new dog arrived yesterday. He is a Romanian rescue. He is surprisingly relaxed and confident. He is what people sometimes call a Velcro dog who follows me all around wherever I go. So quiet, I was glad he actually barked once this afternoon, My son had him off the lead in the local park, and he got on splendidly with other dogs and their owners, all playing nicely together. No sign of running off and responds well to re call. I can't believe how well this dog is responding! I must say the rescue woman gave a lot of thought as to what sort of dog would suit me, and me suit the dog.
I should say I am lucky, as many of these Romanians have endured terrible hardships that make them difficult to train.

Saracyn, the same as charities for local dog rescues. The dog must never be sold on but returned to the charity if necessary, The premises and adopter must be inspected , and have to legally undertake specified care requirements.
The dog should be offered with a pet passport if it's a foreign dog. The Pet pp includes vetting.

If you visit the rescue premises and meet the owner you can get a pretty good idea if he or she looks to be getting rich;
or is ploughing the adoption fee back into care of the animals.
