I don't look down on anyone who doesn't get their dogs from a shelter--I don't want it to seem as if I am saying that, because that's not the case at all.
I admire everyone who does all of the research into the breeds they own, and gives them a loving wonderful home.
I have had great success in rescuing dogs, everyone may not be so lucky.

To be honest with you, I was scared to death to get Jada. I had never had a rottweiler, and it took a lot of smooth talking on my husband's part to get her into this house. I was torn, because I knew a grown up rottweiler wouldn't last long in the shelter, but yet I was afraid to have her in my house.
I was even afraid of her at first, and didn't want to be left home alone with her--but she gained my trust, and I love her so much.
