i got 1 from a rescue a month ago. she has some issues like being very scared. she was obviously abused. since we got her she is coming along great. im glad i didnt get another pup like last time because there are so many great dogs in rescues that need homes. this dog is so good my wife wanted to call last owner and ask why thet got rid of her but she obviously cant but there loss is our gain. the right dog is out there waiting for you. good luck.
