Puppies are cute but they are needy and messy and require attention. Fairness calls for the time and ability to nurture them until they mature and calm down. A puppy that doesn't have an available caregiver can develop behavior problems that are difficult to deal with.

Talk to people who have been through puppy raising. Know what you're getting into.

It is easy to dream of the ideal situation and outcome, but reality has its own agenda.

Thank goodness, however, for animal lovers such as yourself!

Good luck!!
