Hi i will apologise in advance if i have posted this on the wrong board but i was unsure were to post.
I have a 7 year old female cavalier and over the last year or so have been thinking of buying a new pup or adopting a rescue cavy.
To cut a long story short i have been offered another female cavy who needs a new home due to being let down by previous owners i believe she has had 3 homes already.
90% of me wants to as i know i could give her a lovely home however my concern is my other cavy and how she would take to another dog as she as always been on her own.
The dog to adopt is 5 years so its not like introducing a pup, but still i am concerned as to how she would take to a new family member.
So i was wondering if anyone has any experience with introducing another dog.
As i know the cavy has had a few homes already i would really hate to bring her into my home and it not work out i would just feel so guilty.
I know no one can 100% guarantee it would work out but was wondering what other people have found in this situation.
Thanks sally
