currently I am going through the process of trying to find a dog. We've considered this for years and now we're in a good settled home and area, with children aged 7 and 9. But I work 2.5 days per week. So, on my two full days, the house is empty for 8 hours from 8:30 to 4:30. I'd obviously get a dog walker for those days but I'm getting the impression from rescue centres that is not enough.
So, question a) is it reasonable or realistic to get a dog in these circumstances?
and
question b) have you managed to adopt a rescue dog without having a stay at home or work from home parent in the house every day of the week?
Thank you.

Is it possible to adopt a rescue dog when you work at all?
