@dancin Disney style I found rescues difficult to deal with, which is why I ended up paying for a puppy. I have more luck with rescue cats but dogs seem to be harder to get. The humane society is usually better but obviously they are all closed at the moment. Good luck, having a pet is great for kids and I hope you are able to find one that suits your needs.
Sometimes breeders will retire them but even that is hard to get. Waiting lists can take awhile, I waited a few months for my puppy. I think the humane society is the best place, but I think they are closed. These are strange times and nothing seems to be working the same as it once did. Even adopting pets. I was reading about people getting scammed, sending in deposits and never getting the dog. Since it's not really possible to go visit before now.
We have 3 cats and a dog, the cats are so much easier lol. But mine don't go for walks with me like the dog does (though I know there are some breeds that will). They do play fetch sometimes, but the dog usually gets in the way and "wins" that game. Have you looked at the Ontario SPCA site? They have some interesting resources and perhaps can direct you to available animals? They have a "meet your match" quiz that looks neat, one for adult dogs, cats or puppies.
