We're considering adopting a dog from rescue, and we're finding (not
surprisingly) that just about all dogs that are available have one or more
problems.

None of what you have outlined below are problems only found in rescue
dogs. A couple of these are definite training issues, and a lot of the
time, a dog gets dumped because the owners didn't do their home work and
didn't bother to train.

1. housebreaking (if we know that the dog is clean in the crate, but having
a few accidents within first week at a foster home)

2. car sickness (severe drooling and stress)

3. jumping up (the dog is going up on hind legs and wrapping legs around
your waist...foster doesn't think it is aggressive/dominance thing, rather
wants attention). The dog is about 40 pounds.
