In reply to the discussion: Successfully Adopting a Rescue Dog. Can anyone around here speak dog? [View all]lapislzi
(5,762 posts)24. Thank you for this incredibly compassionate and useful information.
As much as I loved my Jack Russell dogs, I realize that I cannot have them in my current situation because I can't give them the time and runaround they need and deserve. And a bored Jack Russell is a mischief machine. When I lived on a 27-acre horse farm, they were the bestest and happiest dogs in the world. And that's where they had to stay when I moved on.
Husband and I have a much more laid-back retriever mix, and he's the perfect dog for us--now.
B-i-L just adopted a beagle mix puppy...and we are watching the chaos unfold.

I have a Weimaraner. They tend to end up in rescues. I researched the breed forever,
