Advice needed: Romanian rescue dogs

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to adopt a dog this year. I was originally looking at breeders for my future puppy, but recently I've come across some rescues that save Romanian dogs and find them homes in the UK. I've spotted a puppy born in September 2017 who could be transported over on 15th March if my application is successful. They'll do a "cat test" once the adoption paperwork is approved.

The only thing is, I'd need to raise the height of my garden fence before he arrives, which might be a bit tight time-wise. Does anyone have any experience with this? How high should a fence be for a dog that will weigh about 44 lbs (roughly 3 stone) as an adult?

Has anyone on here adopted a Romanian dog through a rescue? How did they settle into your home? Do you have cats, and if so, how did the introductions go?

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! :)

    Ah right, it’s just that I couldn’t find it on my mobile?

    Hi!

    I’m not sure how to send a PM, so if anyone knows how, I could strongly advise you against a certain rescue I’ve had dealings with...
