I highly recommend adopting an adult rescue dog at least once in your life. You'll end up learning more about yourself and your spouse than anything else. And you will end up with the best, most grateful, loving friend you could ever imagine.
While in Mexico I helped adopt a shelter dog to someone to bring back NOB (North of the Border). I was amazed!
My brother and I took a shelter dog, Stripe, age of about 3, 2 years in kennels, to a woman's ranch for her son, visiting from the states, to meet on a "Play Date". This dog met the woman's dogs, and made friends with and played with a stray-dog hanging around, and acted like he had lived at the house for years! He walked perfectly on a leash. He did have a small problem of "jumping up" on people (so excited to have humans for companionship) which the Dog Whisperer of course "fixed" with a single visit with the dog and new owner.
When we brought Stripe back to the kennel, he happily went into his cage and enjoyed the meal left for him while his kennel mate looked on.
I am completely amazed at the resiliency of Stripe, and dogs in general.
Stripe is now living with a family in Northern California.
