Did I say we wanted a perfect dog? No I didnt. We have seen lots of dogs we like and could cope with but right now it is the wrong time! I posted the thread so know what breeds to look into and which ones would be good and stuff so we can find a good shelter... maybe even one which specialises in a certain breed.
You do not know my mums past so dont tell me we are looking for a 'perfect' dog, just one which my mum could handle. It is better to get a dog we can handle then getting one and having to take it back to the shelter! We are not looking for a puppy. We are simply looking for a dog in a shelter... with some sort of write up like this:
TJ came into the centre as his owners were unable to give him the attention he needs.
Due to lack of exercise he is slightly overweight. With time and more exercise he will become a more active dog who will enjoy playing and interacting with his owners.

(only part of write up)


I mean that dog has problems but probably ones we could handle. Therefore he is not perfect.

I am looking for help, that is all!
