i have been thinking about adopting a pet for a while. however i was living in a apt before so held off. Now i am in a town house opposite a park, which i think are better condition for a mid size dog.

i have never had a pet before, which is why i am little hesitant about owning a dog, but figured, its time to learn. i am looking for a dog thru petfinder etc.

i am single, so usually nobody is home during day times, however i live fairly close to work, so i dont mind going home at lunch and walking the dog. i am willing to change my life style stay home more often (less going out/vacations).

what else should i be looking at, and am i better off adopting a pup or a young dog..etc.

can people are new to pets chime in..

thanks
