[QUOTE="starnsey, post: 14751707, member: 132253"] I'm guessing by rescue you mean adopt from a shelter? We got our Australian Shepherd mutt from the SPCA in Dallas at 7 months old and he has been great. We definitely got lucky though as his only quirks were being horribly afraid of bridges (would slam on the brakes anytime we came up to a pedestrian bridge) which I got him over after a few weeks of just picking him up and putting him in the middle of the bridge with some treats and he is deathly afraid of bath tubs. He used to be afraid of the bathroom in general (we think he may have been locked up in bathrooms or something before we adopted him) but he's more or less gotten over it. He'll walk into the bathroom and sniff around and stuff - still hates the bath tub though. [ATTACH=full]1425360[/ATTACH] I know any dogs in the future will be from shelters - hell for the price alone they're worth it. $50-90 as opposed to $500+ or whatever for a pure-bred that will likely have breed specific problems. Also, since my wife and I have been in our neighborhood since August, we've probably picked up at least 5 escaped dogs and returned them to their owners. It pisses me off though because nobody puts their addresses on their dog tags anymore. Some either just have their phone number, or they have a phone number of a service you have to call which then calls the owner and then they're supposed to call you back - so stupid. [/QUOTE]
