I lost my 15 year old dalmatian 2 months ago and am looking at rescuing another. There is an 8 week old and an 8-9 month old available and I am having trouble deciding which would be a better choice. The situation dictates that I will have to choose which dog before meeting them. They are not in the same city and I can only see one this weekend-the other will most likely be adopted by someone else. I have not rescued a dog before and am having trouble deciding which one to choose. We have an 8 year old dog currently.
The older dog is house trained/crate trained and has been taught basic commands. That is an advantage, but I worry about her socialization and the fact that there is more of a chance to bond with a puppy. Please help!
