[QUOTE="Malika, post: 430863, member: 11227"] As far as I know, there are no dog rescue organisations like that here - at least not in this area; you take the dogs straight from the rescue society dog pound. I went there with J when they had an open day - literally dozens of concreted cages filled with dogs; one of the helpers told me they were mostly abandoned by people who had bought them (perhaps as pets for children for Christmas) and then realised they didn't want to pay the cost of kennels when they went away on holiday... the French are not known as animal lovers. Some of them looked so very sweet - but I imagine with a rescue dog, one is going into the unknown. Bit like adopted children :-) I talked about dogs this morning with J and said "one day we'll have a dog." He nodded - "yes, when I'm bigger!" was his surprisingly sensible comment. So, we will take our time... [/QUOTE]
