So have seen a nice dog at the dogs trust who we have spent a bit of time with and generally she seems very good but there is no background as she was a stray from Scotland. My last dog was a rescue dog but came from a home where couple changed their mind so we knew a bit about her. Anyone who has rescued a stray I would be grateful for some feedback or advice.

He seems to be fine with other dogs cats unknown but not fussed about that. I doubt they will let me have her for a week as could be quite stressful for dog. Just wondering what I should be aware of with a stray

great thanks for all the stories, advice. she is approx 1 year old breed hard to say(small golden retriever?) and def motivated by treats which is a good way to distract her. they said she is friendly with dogs which from limted exposure she was but does seem quite dominant even though she is only a medium size dog guessing 18kg?? this is my main worry as the last rescue gsd i had was quite dog aggresive but amazing with people but it did make life v difficult at times as my garden backs onto a large field used a lot by dog walkers so that will be very important to me.

well spoke to the dog trainer there yesterday and it turns out this dog is not really that dog friendly apparently. its difficult as their behavior in kennels is bound to be different too the real world but dog friendly..ish is very important too me so the hunt continues. going to another rehoming place today so fingers crossed.
