I just lost my dog last week. It's definitely too soon for me to get another, but this time around I think I want to get a rescue. I definitely want a purebred adult lab (not a puppy.) For some reason, thinking about getting another dog is making me feel better about losing my dog. I would not have predicted that -- I figured it would be a very long time before I'd be able to get another dog after she was gone.
So I am looking for advice on two things. One, where are the best places to look (at some point) for a rescue lab? I am in the New England area. Two, how will I know when I am ready?
Thanks
