Need tips on adopting a dog

Billerica, MA(Zone 6a)

Hi everyone.
This is my first time posting on the pets forum and I'm hoping y'all can guide me in the right direction.
My family is wanting to adopt a small to medium dog. We're not too picky about the breed as I grew up with lots of mutts around. I just want to avoid the so called bully breeds. I know they can be wonderful pets, but I'm just not comfortable around them because of their reputations. (Please, please don't yell at me...) :-)
My question is this: In your experience, do you HAVE to have a fence to adopt? All of the websites I've seen seem to require a fence. We have a large yard on a very quiet cul-de-sac.

Can anyone share their experience adopting from a shelter?
Thanks,
Lora B.
