So I've been thinking about this a lot in the last few days. Went to get my current dogs up to date with vaccinations today in case I decide to go ahead. I also love staffies and that's what I would be rescuing. They are the main reason I want to rescue - it upsets me so much to see so many staffies in the pound I feel I will be ok to work through behaviour issues and training etc. since I have had experience with a fair few dogs already. I have also put enough money aside in case something unfortunate happens... So really I just have to make up my mind! Thank you Steve, that's very nice of you :) although, as a uni student I'm not sure I want to add more study to my daily routine at the moment. I will update if I end up making any progress :)

Thanks guys, those are exactly the answers I was after :) it seems like a massive commitment to make so I want to make sure I'm considering all possibilities first.

Hi :) I've been thinking of becoming a foster carer for quite a while, and now that I have moved to a bigger property it has become a realistic goal. So it seems like the protocol is to contact a rescue group and let them know I'd like to foster etc., but is there a reason people like to go through rescue organisations rather than foster privately? What's the difference if I just adopt a dog from the pound and re-home her myself? Thanks in advance! (and sorry if it's a silly question, but I haven't been able to find the answer).
