It's amazing how many people don't really qualify for a rescue dog. We were in the same situation with a nice fenced in yard and keep the dog inside(duh). So we qualified easily for a rescue dog. Dog looks happy already! We're still dealing with the chewing on everything with our dog. Rescue dogs tend to be an interesting mix a lot of the time. Our dog is a black lab/whippet/pit bull mix. Good luck with the new pet!
