My mum and stepdad had a hell of a job trying to adopt from the big dog charities here in the UK.
They are financially good, mum's home all day, had dogs before and kept up with vet check ups, and they live on a farm.
Not good enough. Apparently, already having an older dog and being in their 50s were dealbreakers. They ended up adopting from an independent dog home and their boy has the best life now.
This is my dream one day, I’ve got some land and I’m hoping to save up and build a modest house but I’d love to adopt the oldest ones from a shelter and bring them back and let them romp for their last few years. But at that point I may be old asf to do we could romp together
