Hi all,

Has anyone on here rescued dogs after having children?

My girls and 3+6 years old now, and have grown up with dogs. We currently have a jack spaniel cross.

We lost our lurcher two years ago, which was beyond heartbreaking. I said at the time I wouldn't get another dog, but coming round to the idea now (just).

We would love to rescue again, but we've got our reservations and a lot of rescues won't rehome a dog when there's young children in the house. So it may be impossible anyway.

Obviously if we do decide to rescue, we'd have to be very careful and sensible with things in the house.
