[quote=Anonymous]I think you might be coming across as a bit inflexible and unrealistic in your expectations with regards to these rescue animals. These are living beings who had life experiences before they ever set foot in the rescue or a shelter. Fosters do their best to determine temperament and compatibility factors but if you are looking for an absolute guarantee you might very well be better off looking for a puppy that you can raise and socialize yourself to your own high standards. That isn't me being snippy, Op. I have raised all of my own dogs from pups. There is a definite reward in doing so as long as you are consistent with your training, take good care of them and love them to pieces. If you don't want to deal with the puppy stage - teething, house training, socializing, etc then adopting an older dog can be a wonderful experience provided your expectations are reasonable and you are committed to helping the dog adapt to your home and your house rules.
