So, you don't want a puppy!

For some people, as long as it has 4 legs and a wagging tail, it will do. For others, only a specific breed will do - and that's ok! Your best bet will be to check http://www.petfinder.com for information on breed-specific 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.
