I know it's very soon after the SBD, but I feel I'm going nuts with the loss at the moment. I'm not going to make any major decisions until a suitable amount of time has passed (this is code for not breaking up every time I think of the SBD) but as a means of keeping my sanity I'm looking at the possibility of a rescue dog. My OH, R, has pushed me in this direction. We live south of London and Labrador Retriever Southern England looks good. Any experience with this organisation? On the face of it they look good. Alternatives? There website is www.labrador-rescue.org.uk .
One aspect I worry about is age and not being to look after a dog if either or both of us has failing health and this organisation offers (actually insists) on taking the dog back if this happens so that's a big plus point.
