[quote=Anonymous]I am a single mom, work FT and have 2 kids and 2 dogs. Granted the dogs were here before the kids, so my situation is different. Both of the dogs are seniors 11 and 13) and are home usually from 8:30am to 5:30-6pm without relief. They are baby gated in a room and are fine (no accidents). For OP, there is much to consider as dogs are a lot of responsiblity especially when it comes to time. You should speak to some local rescue groups and get a sense of what they think about your home scenario. Most, if not all, rescues save dogs and cats from shelters so indirectly you would be saving a life if adopting from a rescue. You can also try fostering a dog to see how things work out (if you get approved). Even if your lifestyle doesn't accommodate adoption now, it may one day. And as a PP suggested, volunteering is also a great way to get your "fix". I do it in my non-kid weekends and love it. [/quote]
