There is a bullmastiff rescue group, but they don't typically have a lot of dogs and they are almost never anywhere close to me, making it hard to go see them etc. I have been on the look out for a rescue.

DH is home most of the time, but he says he doesn't want the puppy responsibility so I need to figure out how I can make this work in a worst case scenario situation - ie as if he wasn't available to help at all. Realistically, he'll likely help a lot. But I can't make him want to take care of a puppy, it's not fair IMHO.

The cool thing is that if the puppy is quiet, it could likely stay in our break room, where it would see and interact with people a lot. All the people I work with are dog friendly. It would not be able to stay in the break room if it was disruptive to the calm envirnoment that we try to provide at the clinic.

Input?
