Rescues pets are wonderful- just ask anyone who has one. Puppies are great but often people are much happier getting a dog who is older, and whose size and temperament is a known quantity. This way, they can find the exact pet they want, call the animal shelter or rescue group, and get information on how to adopt that specific animal.
