Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum (although I've become a very active member in the past few days - its addicting!) and I'm currently finishing up my senior year at the University of Michigan. Having raised 2 Newfies with my family in Chicago, they have, as I'm sure you can all guess, become my life.
Anyways, I am going off to law school next year (location remains undetermined but most likely will either be Boston or CA) and I will finally be at a point in my life where I can get an apartment by myself and adopt a Newfie. I know that law school is a huge commitment, but I cannot imagine spending another 3 years without a dog by my side. Thus, I am planning on adopting a 1 or 2 year old Newf from a rescue and I want to gather as much information as I can in advance so when the summer rolls around & the adoption can take place, I will be able to provide the best home & life I can for my future friend. I'm envisioning lots of cuddles on the couch & bed, long walks & toys, but I also have to think about the more serious stuff too
Is there any advice you guys can give me as to rescue organizations I should contact or steps I should take to prepare? I know its 6 months away but the excitement is building & I want to be the very best future mom I can, and while I have raised 2 Newfs with my family in Chicago, this will be the first time raising one on my own
