Welcome to Pet Talk Rachel! I think it is wonderful that you not only want another dog, bt want to save the life of one. In one way or another all 5 of "my" dogs ( my 2 and my parents 3) are rescues...2 were resuced from the farms they were born to with unspayed mothers, and not being cared for, 1 was the puppy of a rescue dog who was gotten rid of becuase she got pregnant, and 2 were from shelters. They are all very adorable and great dogs. Good luck!
