Might be getting a rescue dog. Tips?

[lost in space]

We have one picked out and sent an application. It got to be quite a job finding one that woud meet our needs, and at the same time meeting the needs of our pet-to-be. We need small/medium size dog due to the size of our house and my space needs for walking with crutches. We also needed a non-allergenic dog, a couch potato with personality, which this one seems to be—she's well trained and well behaved, responding to many commands. Our daughter, who has animal allergies, needs one with a certain type of fur and this dog has it. She goes out walking a lot—the dog loves walks. She likes classical music, like me. I play classical guitar, so it will be interesting to see if she takes to that. There are other checked boxes. It all seems like a nice give and take. The shelter looks like a well-run operation.

We hope to have a meet and greet next week. Wish us luck, and thanks for your support!
