It's appealing to see ourself "saving"
an adult dog from an animal shelter but dealing with a dog with a troubled or insecure past can be very challenging.

The good news is that you'll be getting a full size dog so you know what to expect in that regard. He's likely to have at least some rudimentary training, perhaps from shelter personnel.

The worst thing that can happen is that the dog and the owner are not well matched. Inexperienced shelter
personnel might place a strong-willed,
dog with an elderly couple or a
busy couple with young children.

Sometimes, owners over-estimate their
own abilities and under-estimate the
time commitment to handle dogs with
tricky or troubled personalities.

will not behave well. Expect problems
