Ok so Chewy turned 2 this year.. I really want another dog but this is a very bad time for me financially. I am hoping to be able to adopt a rescue next summer. now I have always heard that the process of finding the perfect dog and being approved to take it home could be a leangthy process... Im wondering how this works? How do you find a shelter... I would need it to be in the NYC area.. maybe the ASPCA in manhattan. I am also very particular about it being a girl and at least 7 pounds. Chewy is really hyper and I wouldnt want to have a shy tiny baby that I would have to worry about. I think Chewy would take advantage of her. shes very aggressive at 7.5 lbs.

I would also really like for them to be close in age... waybe up to 3 years old...? But thats not too important.

So any advice you guys can give on how to start this process would be greatly appreciated. Do my requirements sound realistic for next summer?

Ideally I would like to take a week off from work over Memorial day weekend and have a dog to bring home that week.
