Hi Carole
Sorry we didn’t agree on the coat type LOL, but either of us could be wrong!
I would certainly not rule out this person adopting a puppy. Most adult dogs will accept a puppy without any problem, and it can be a stabilising influence for a pup to have an older dog/dogs around, and can give older dogs a new lease of life.
I would not however home a puppy with a very old dog/dogs or older dogs with health issues, I think it is too much to expect them to cope with.
Fence would have to go up to 6ft. Front would have to be fenced and gated securely as well (I’m surprised they manage with a 3ft high fence now!). This has most likely raised alarm bells with the rescue organisation, that they have large dogs (and have fostered dogs) but only a 3ft high fence which any dog (even the tiniest) could hop over. It would with me. I would wonder about their level of concern over dogs (and peoples) safety/security, and I would think it odd that it hadn’t been raised up before.

Just to add, if any reason for refusal is one that can be overcome, it will be discussed and the rescue will help to come to some middle ground.
If it is a case of financial restraints, health and ability to handle a young gsd, or the fact that the dog would not be walked, then these are genuine reasons for refusal.
Would you please explain what rehabilitation this person did, and what problems were the 'problem dogs' you mention.
