[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need a hypoallergenic breed. We also need a dog that will be good with our timid 8yo. Are those easy to find at shelters? [/quote]

Yes. My [b]beloved[/b] mixed breed terrier died 8 months ago.He came from a kill shelter. Besides being the best  creature of any type in the entire world, and I am not exaggerating even a bit, he never shed one hair or had any dander.  He had sparse wiry hair that often comes with wired-hair dogs. He did have some medical needs at the beginning of his life with us- but that's part of any dog's story...dental issues, etc. The no shed thing was just a perk- we had no idea he was a no shed type of dog.

He loved everyone. He really loved me. He enjoyed children. He was patient, he was an old soul in a tiny body, he was bright and curious. He was kind to other animals. I still feel a void so big and deep, it is hard to write this. I've had many dogs, all but one was a rescue. Each had their own personality, and we loved them deeply and mourned their loss at the end of their lives. They lived very long. This dog did not- died of a sudden  insidious cancer at about the age of ten- never really knew how old he was. This took me out..could not even function after his death. I will never be the same again.  He was my sweetest, sweetest little beloved friend and I will love him until the end of my my life. I actually had to put him down. Can you imagine?  I had to hold him as he was killed...the dog I loved with all my heart.

I got him from a rescue who got him (by accident) from a high kill shelter.  What a special gift he was. He was turned down by several people because he wasn't beautiful, had bad breath, and no one knew what he actually was with regard to breed. Keep that in mind. Your dog is waiting for you. Somewhere.
