Getting a Rescue Dog

[NordicCrankShaft]

Finally after a few years of being dogless (ex kept both), I'm finally in a position to be able to offer a dog a home. Always had dogs when younger, and my last relationship we had a 13 year old lab/collie cross and also got a Springer Spaniel during the winter of 2019 before lock down....That was bloody hard!! Anyway, during this time I got well into maintaining the training of the older boy and into the training of the puppy so I have the experience and thoroughly enjoy training.

I'm decided that I definitely want to rehome something, a medium sized dog from 5 years and older, as I want to offer a home to an animal that probably gets less attention due to their age so I'm not hugely fussed on that side of things.

Where should I start, what should I expect, I appreciate every animal is different, what are insurance costs like at this sort of age?
