i've had all ages. As mentioned previously there is always the chance that the dog will listen fine to the foster parent and be housetrained on their schedule but under new rules and in a different house, it can all go out the window. at 2 most dogs are mature enough to be able to focus better during training. older dogs can still have the get up and go of younger dogs but be wiser and more mature and laid back. Any age is great really. Decide what you're looking at in terms of the dog ( not so much age!) and good rescues will work closely with you to find a match that works best for you and the dog. good luck!
