Im sure now Tim will find a suitable home where the owners are right for him,because the centre will know more about him now, im going to write a full profile of everything iv have learnt about him this week, so im sure that will help. It would be selfish of me to try to keep him.
'spot' I have certainly not given up on/or slated rescue dogs. I met lots of great dogs at the centre and would take them all if I had a massive house and no job to go to! I really am passionate about helping Staffords I love them dearly, even if I cant directly help by rehoming I will try to help in other ways

Sorry I didnt mean to imply that you had slated rescue dogs, just that it could turn into a 'oh I had a resuce and it did this' sort of thread which can lead to people thinking all rescues are problem dogs. You've made the decision and writing a profile will certainly help, I do that for all my fosters going to new homes. I have 6 rescue dogs of my own so rather partial.
There are certainly plenty of staffies in rescue so Im sure there is one for you and good for you for trying to help.
