There are many out there who need a home.      After about 3 months after my dog passed we went to the shelter and my wife fell in love with a dog there.  And she (new dog) has been amazing.   Just give it a some time.

This I agree with.  Without going into too many details I know my dog saved my life.   He's just over 8 1/2 years old according to the records from the shelter I adopted him from. At the time they said he was 6 months old and it has been a great 8 years. As a large dog he is considered a senior.   So I know I'll have to be prepared to let him go in the next few years.

With that said, I've contemplated getting another dog before I have to say goodbye to my best friend.  I decided I would not because my dog and I have such a close bond and I think he likes being the center of attention.  :)  But I have this feeling that once he is gone he would want me to save another dog from a shelter like I did for him.  It certainly won't happen soon after his passing but I can't think of a better way to honor my dog than to save another from the shelter and give it a great home.

But it's a personal choice. Loosing a dog is heartbreaking.
