Puppies will take it out of you, for sure. We don't get many puppies in rescue but when a puppy does come into rescue, we don't fight over who GETS to foster the puppy - we fight over who HAS to foster the puppy. Everyone is like, "Not me! I did it last time!" I think everyone should probably raise a puppy once (I've done it) but after that, adopting a nice adult dog is the way to go.
