[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm an experienced dog foster with kids. Mature dogs are a much better bet. You know what you are getting. Esp. if you work with a rescue group - in my experience, they will take the dog back if it's not a good fit. FYI my rescue has never "awarded" a dog to one competitor over another. First approved adopter to sign the papers for a particular dog gets it.[/quote] I'm the PP you're quoting. For the record, I didn't say a rescue "awarded" the dog to another person. The shelter did. One of the application requirements for adoption was to bring in the entire family to meet the dog. My kids were so excited and had a great meeting with the dog. There was no reason for them to pick someone else for the dog. They wouldn't give us an answer. They just said they picked a "better fit." The only thing we could think of were that our kids were too young for a dog without history. [/quote]
