I agree with everyone else. Go for it! I am also a single pet owner but I do work from home. Trust me, even when you're home they still sleep most of the day

Everyone loves a puppy, but I'm with those that have a soft spot for the older dogs. We just got our second dog from the humane society that's 6-7 years old. It's been a bit of a process getting him acclimated to our family but we're making progress.

Good luck with your search and keep us posted!
