I would not leave a dog outside all day. I don't even have a fenced yard. My dog is going to be a house dog who hangs out on my sofa and chews up my shoes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

don't you have a boxer? Do you crate him when you are gone for several hours?

If you can, the shelter or rescue group is the way to go. You can often get whatever type you are looking for, if you are patient, (who knows, you may fall in love with a completely different one).

I would like to get a rescue dog but in the past when I've tried they have told me that I need a fenced yard. I intend to take my dog on a long walk in the morning and again in the evening when I get home from work.

That doggie fiasco with Ellen Degeneres got me wondering about these dog rescue groups. If I adopt a dog from one of these places does it mean that I don't actually own the dog, they're just "loaning" it to me?

what kind of dog do you have? Do you let it roam around your house when you are gone or is he in a crate?
