One thing I would caution you about getting dogs from shelters is illness. Definitely quarantine any new shelter dog you bring in to your home. You never know what they been vaccinated for or IF they have at all. Also, some illnesses can take several days for symptoms to show up from the time of exposure, so even if a dog appears healthy at first, still quarantine! | Great advice. You will also need to get your own dogs the bordetella meds. |
