Also, any thoughts on names for my doggie??
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I DO KNOW that a dog is for life...I have been thinking about this for quite a while.

I have found that when you rescue a dog it is loyal. It knows that you saved it. You may want to look into getting a dog that is already an adult. I adopted a German Shepherd when she was 4 and she was already trained. A lot of people seem to want to adopt puppies and ignore the older dogs which is sad. Lola is now 8 and has been a joy to have. I also also adopted a Black Lab I named Husker from the pound when she was 11 months old. She was pretty easy to train. She will be 6 in July. Both of my girls are very good with kids. You need to pick a dog that fits in with your lifestyle.
