I am in the same boat as you – need a non-shedding/hypoallergenic dog. We arrived here in Mar 2019 but won’t adopt till we return from our October vacation. Adoption is right around the corner for us! In the meantime, I scour the sites below every few days to tantalize and torment myself.

Remember the advice from above, stated multiple times - no dog is 100% hypoallergenic. When we find our beloved, I will visit and rub my hands deep into its fur(hair), let the dog lick my inside forearm (the skin is more sensitive there), and, if I am brave enough, rub my eyes with my fingers to test my allergic reaction. We have been wonderfully successful in choosing our last 4 rescue dogs: each was a mini-schnauzer, although I believe the last one was actually a mix. They are delightful dogs!

This AKC link provides some insights re: hypoallergenic breeds. American Kennel Club “Dogs That Are Hypoallergenic? These Breeds Come Close” Dogs That Are Hypoallergenic: Best Breeds for Allergies From Dogs
