Finding a rescue

I know this has been done to death but please can people tell me a good way to find a rescue? My nearest is Canterbury Dogs Trust but all of their current dogs are large or unsuitable for dogs or young children.

We have a much loved labrador x and would like to adopt a small dog to be his pal! I have three children but the youngest is 7 so I think well able to be sensitive to the needs of a dog if it was nervous.

I have emailed Wild at Heart foundation - is it a good thing to adopt a rescue from another country or should I be looking in the UK.

I have learnt a lot since getting my dog 5 years ago, mainly from advice here. I feel that we have room in our hearts for another dog and feel strongly that it should be a rescue but I want to make good choices - for the dog and for my family.

Am thinking JRT type size but am not too led by breed. I would love a staff but feel they are just a bit too big - I already have one walking carpet!!

Any advice would be gratefully received - I know this won't be a quick process.

Another great place is Frandham Kennels in Dover who gave lots lovely dogs, including pedigree dogs for rejoining, again local pound dogs or strays.

This boy is in London, but if you're willing to travel may be suitable?
