There are breed-specific rescues; maybe you could find one of them?
And I am now reminded that my nice mover made a derogatory comment against the French!
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like the only breed-specific rescue around here is for golden retrievers, though.

I would imagine a good shelter would work with you. Get pressure out of your comfort zone, it isn't a good shelter.

A lot of shelters want volunteers to walk dogs and interact with them. That could give you a better idea of the personalities of different dog breeds.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In my experience volunteering at a shelter, the thing you really learn after spending time with dogs is to tell whether they're actively friendly, scared, submissive, aggressive, aggressive because they're scared, uninterested in people, etc.

Punishingly Intricate
I keep looking at the local shelter website and thinking that I want to get a dog.
I've spent the evening looking at dogs at petfinder and chatting with my friend who does dog rescue transport. I'm so ready to get another dog! But not until we get back from traveling in October.
