[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were first-time adopters 11 years ago, and adopted a two year old terrier mix from a rescue group.  She is the love of our lives and we have so much fun with her.  Like you, I work from home and we have become inseparable - such a great thing to have my friend nearby as I work.

Given your allergy limitations, consider a terrier or poodle mix of some kind.  They do become available in shelters and from rescue groups periodically, you just need to keep an eye out for them.  In your shoes, I would adopt a young adult, say from 1-4 years old.  They tend to be housebroken and more settled than puppies do and are a lot - a LOT - less work.

If the dog is being fostered, all the better - you'll get a good report of how it is with kids, other dogs, etc.  Consider being a foster-to-adopt yourself.

Here's a possibility:

If you have trouble finding what you are looking for, go farther out in your geographic search:  Look at W.Va, southern VA, PA.

Good luck!
