So, you want an older dog!

Excellent. Your animal will be calmer (depending on the age of course), and easier to house train, if they are not already! Your animal will be greatful to you for the home - I've heard it said that adopted older animals make the best pets, because they truely know what it's like on the other side.

Check classifieds for free to good home animals, your local shelter, or http://www.petfinder.com for information on rescue groups close to you. Rescue groups provide necessary medical care, spay/neuter, and foster the animal with a family - they'll be just the right people to help you decide on an animal with the right temperment for you.
