[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister wanted a dog for her kids.  She went to a shelter many times.  Dogs got scooped up fast.  They finally got a shelter dog who got spooked easily - very easily.  In the first two weeks the dog bit the 7 year old.  They tried to work it out.  Kids was scared to be in the house with the dog.  No kid should live like that.  She took it back and got a dog from a breeder.  [/quote]

Why wouldn’t your sister rescue a puppy with no potential background issues if she had kids that young? She did not do her homework. There are thousands of available puppies in this area. Petfinder.com.  All are rescued puppies and dogs. You pick age, breed, sex, likes kids, cat friendly, likes other dogs, etc... Most rescues are in foster homes, not shelters. I am fostering 5 border collie mix puppies tonight. None of them have homes yet.

Homeward Trails 
Pet Connect 
Mamas on the Move
Puppy Haven

These are all reputable rescues in the area that rescue and then treat and train dogs in foster homes.  It is amazing that people spend the time to find “reputable” dog breeders but then comment on how people randomly went into a shelter and just chose a dog and it didn’t work out. You have to do your research!  No different. [/quote]
