My experience is personal. I have had dogs all my life. Currently, my princess name is Sandy and she's a Canaan dog (large dog). I rescued Sandy when she was 2 years old. She was abandoned and having a date to put to sleep due to the lack of demand of people adopting large dogs. I trained Sandy to live with two cats as a pack and also to walk calmed and nicely socialising with other dogs and people. She's now a 10 years old amazing and well balanced dog. My lovely friends in the past were different breeds from German shepherd to unknown mixed breeds, all adopted or literally found on the roads. Dogs are part of my life. I have car so we can discuss the best way for collection or return of the dog.
