I'm new

Hi everyone,

I'm considering getting a rescue staffy. Has anyone got any tips or advice?

Hi & welcome to the forum.

What a great thing to do! Have been in touch with any rescue centres? They'll need to do a home check, of course.

Do you have any other animals or children?

Hi and welcome from us and Suki.

I love the staff you have in the picture, I would love to get a black rescue, I guess they are hard to find and get homed very quickly?

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Rocky is from a rescue centre too. You could ensure that your garden is secure, this is one thing the rescue centre may well check when they make a home visit. Let them know if you have owned a dog before and that you do have some experience of being a responsible dog owner.

You'd be surprised at how many are overlooked purely because they are staffords.

Look for the personality & the way you interract with each other first & then colour second!

Agreed, sorry if I came across as shallow. I'm sure I will fall in love with one (or maybe 5) when I go to a centre!

Hiya and welcome from me and my rescue Moo

Moo is such a great name for a dog!

Hi and welcome from Kia and me

welcome

Welcome there's nothing I can add to what's already been said.

Hi Cookie, big welcome from us. All I would say is consider your own circumstances as to what you want from a dog and what you can offer a dog, whether an older staff would be more sensible or a younger one, whether you have younger or older children and if you have other animals, also how much free time you have available. All these things will be considered by the rescue centre. Good luck with your search!
