Almost hoarder like?
That sounds fishy to me. And even if it is legit, taking on a dog that is lacking in so much basic life experience will be something of a nightmare to work through probably. Those first few months are critical and being stuck in a very limited environment can have devestating effects on how that dog lives the rest of its life (i.e. fear issues, etc.). Just my two cents.
No matter where you're looking online, make sure you meet the dog first before you get your heart set. Even if you can't foster, spend some time with the dog to make sure it has a temperament that is congruent with what you're looking for. The "rescue" does sound a little suspect to me. Go with your gut on that. It's usually right.
unique as in.. hes hoarding dogs and got in trouble with AC? lol. that sounds random as all hell.
