i did not say that they dont let people with jobs adopt. But they dont let people who dont have time to look after a dog adopt it. So for a single person, with a job, they wouldnt allow it. beleive what u want to be honest, but obviously to wrapped up in ur beleif that you are the worlds leading authoprity on animal behaviour to listen to anyone elses point of view, im done arguing with u, u dumb yank, go neglect ur dog some more

What a fuckwit you are! So now rather than refute my arguent, you attack my nationality and intelligence? Interesting how your rules change- its ok to have a job now, you just cant be single. I never once said to leave the dog in there 24-7, but if you are not home, it is best for the animal (so he doesnt get into something he shouldnt and hurt himself) and your relationship with the animal (so he doesn't shit on your xbox) to secure his ass in a cage.
My advice for a small cage to the starter of this thread was so he would not shit in is cage. Unlike yourself, dogs have enough sense not to shit where they lay and a small cage ensures that they will hold it as long as possible. As I said earlier, If a dog does shit in his cage, the house-breaking proposition is near hopeless, again much like yourself.
All an agency can demand is shot and neuter/spay records. If they are lucky enough to have the resources they can also do home visits/compatibility checks. Unlike yourself, they usually have the experience to know after a few minutes of questioning wether a person is fit to adopt an animal. Am I an authority on animal behaviour? No, but I obviously have a much broader knowledge of it than you.
You sir are just an asshole with an opinion and most likely upset because my dogs have better oral hygine than your rotten-toothed-limey-ass.
I apologize to any other xlt members that were foolish enough to read this juvenile rant, but my original intention in replying to this thread was to give some good advice. I laid out the basics and was attacked by (I hope) well-meaning (not just ignorant) argumentative bastards.
Adopting a dog is even harder than a child. The behavioural patterns of young children are much more maleable than that of dogs. Once a dog learns an inproper behaviour, it is very hard to train it out of them. Older dogs that are sent to kennels quickly descend into maddness from being caged and hyper-stimulated by the constant barking of the other dogs. Research before you a
