I think it's great your looking into rescuing!
My advice would be to take your time, especially when bringing a new dog into your home. Remember that if you do bring a rescue in and can not/ aren't ready for the possible behavior problems you may well end up sending the rescue back and creating a worse situation. Personally I think if you want to rescue wait for the right dog.

same goes if you want to get a puppy from a breeder, make sure you get the right pup from the right breeder. If you ever have any red flags listen to your gut!

I also think you are doing the right thing on YT. There are many people on here that deal with rescues all the time and can help you get a better sense of what it may look like to rescue.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
