Good point. We walk a lot and meet other dog owners - dog walkers tend to be a social lot and get to know one another. It no longer surprises me just how many of the dogs are from rescue centres.
And the centres always have dogs coming in that need to have a permanent home.
I don't know if ours is typical but they checked us out before they would let us take the dog. We had to walk the dog several days in a row. That goes some way to ensuring that you are serious about having the dog. We also had a home visit to ensure that our dog was being properly cared for.
Those checks would be be a bit impracticable/expensive if the dog was coming from another country.
