Are dogs trust, blue cross and rspca actually any good?
I got my dog from Dogs Trust Kenilworth. I’d highly recommend that you give them a try. Dogs end up in rescue for all sorts of reasons. Whilst some will have “baggage” left over from their past, others will not. Besides, not all of that baggage will be something you can’t handle. Dogs Trust (and almost certainly blue cross and rspca) will help you to find a dog that is suitable for you. They’ll speak to you, to try to see what sort of home you’ll be offering, then show you the dogs that might prove a suitable match. They also offer back-up for the lifetime of the dog. If you have any problems (even really minor ones) you can phone up and ask their advice. You’ll also be given a talk to give you some basic tips on how to look after the dog. Nothing too complicated, but should be useful whilst you’re settling into dog ownership. They are keen to make sure that they do whatever they can to make sure that your home is suitable. Good luck.
