single, working dog owner

[badger]

I honestly don't know, and I'm sure I'd be happy with any of them. But I do want to help out the one that won't likely find a home easily, you know?

Thankfully I'm not bent on a particular breed so I would never get a dog (and especially a cat!) from a breeder; all I'm looking for is the right fit to my home/cats/lifestyle.

It's so hard. I wish all animals had a forever home.

Badger, when we first got yukon, it wasn't about which doggie from the dog refuge (www.dogshome.org.au) was the coolest & we weren't picky. The rules at the dog refuge are that they suit the dog to the person's home/lifestyle not the person to the dog. Do the doggie homes there do the same thing?

Yukon wasn't suited to a family with younger children so it made sense to us to adopt her. We don't know her history but we are aware she's not an "open" & friendly doggie to strangers. I have a feeling a male human wasn't kind to her before

There'll be a doggie at your home in the future
