No, believe me harpo, a private boarding kennels is generally better than boarding at a rescue centre. Private kennels should have far less dogs and more time to give them the attention they need. You may also be able to find someone who will take your dog into their home for you when you go away. It all costs, of course, but kennel prices vary. Shop around, go and see several and make up your mind which would suite your dog best.

With regard to getting a dog. You will need to think seriously about what you get. A flat in La Mata is a far cry from a house with garden in La Marina. Will you wait till you move or will you settle for a smaller dog, an older one, or one which just doesn't need so much space? Also, you must consider that the vast majority of rescues will be unlikely to come ready house-trained.

I wish you luck and please let us know how you get on once you get here.
