We put our dog Mylo, down January 2020 after being with him for 15 years. Mylo was a terrier / lab mix and weighed 40 pounds. He was a really laid back guy. We are ready for another fur kid to fill the void.
We are looking for a dog that I can train to go hiking and backpacking in the Hoosier National Forest and walk in the neighborhood almost daily. I am thinking a young or adult dog under 30 pounds would be good. Not necessarily looking for a pure breed dog.
We have a 48” high fenced backyard and the local park is within walking distance. I am retired and my wife still works a regular day job so the dog would spend most of the time with me. I am watching PetFinder.com and checking local shelter and rescue organizations daily.
Any advice you might have for me in my search will be appreciated. Anything to beware of when dealing with shelters and rescue organizations. Thanks
