Neo, I also want to add that crate training will help with destructive behavior. Your rescue will have a honeymoon period of about 2 weeks of being on it's best behavior and then you'll see the true colors emerge. If you have a crate the dog will have a safe, comfortable den environment to go to. My dogs use theirs when it's bedtime or when the dog is feeling unsure about the environment. I recommend the hard plastic airline type crate for active youngsters. Some dogs that were kenneled in the wire, collapsible crates were injured by pushing the head though the bottom corner of the locked door, getting trapped and suffocated as a result.
