[quote=Anonymous]We want to avoid buying a dog but after weeks of searching for a rescue, we are not having much luck. A few weeks ago, we adopted a dog from a local shelter but the dog viciously bit me and DH (he needed to see Urgent care for antibiotics). Sadly, we had to return the dog. I then contacted another local shelter about a dog on their website who looked perfect for us. When we went to visit the dog we were told “oh, by the way….he has a bite history”. Ugh…DH was like “no way!!” Then a few days ago I contacted yet another shelter about adopting one of their dogs. Before setting up a meeting, they sent me the dog’s health history. I knew the dog was a senior (it said so on their website) but boy oh boy does he have health issues!! Like needing multiple surgeries, multiple medications, etc…

So now i’m just totally frustrated. It seems like most of the rescues in local shelters are pit mixes (which we don’t want). And the others either have bite histories, serious medical issues, behavioral issues, etc…

Please convince me that I should not buy a puppy and that I should persist in my search![/quote]
