I would love love love to get a dog. My youngest DC has autism, is non-verbal and has ADHD. He is at playschool and I am a stay at home parent. I don't think I could manage a very young puppy but would love to give a home to a rescue dog.
I think (for Mother's Day) my special treat will be to go to look at some dogs at a shelter with the rest of my family (esp to gauge DS's reaction).
Please can you offer me any advice on what I should be looking for and what I should be considering? My gut is telling me to have a good look at the lurchers.
Thanks in advance.
