You may think you are set on a certain breed, but spending a little time with each dog and being able to see their temperament is worth it.
So nice to know that you are rescuing a dog in need and also getting a dog that is already house trained and in many cases have much more training.
If nothing else i hope you think about it. Rescues are amazing!

Eric I looked a few rescue dogs, didn't really have a breed in mind other than no shedding, good temperament and large and KILLER (I'll post pics) will fit the bill
I went with the puppy due to socialazion... with strangers (and I do mean strangers) coming in an out all day I felt the need to start fresh with a puppy. too much at stake with an animal that I don't know that well.
the guy living in the guest house here has a rescue dog, a yellow lab... and that guy loves the shit out of that dog, and swears it won't 'really' bit anyone... I just can't take that chance. and believe me I didn't really want to deal with the hassle of puppy either. just felt that it was the safe way to go with a business at stake
