My roommate is moving out, so I'm losing my vicarious pup. I've heard good things about the local SPCA ... is there anywhere or anything I should know before looking for a new dog to adopt? My mother says I'm crazy to want to adopt a new dog when I'm still caring for an infant. But I think now is the best time to find a dog to add to our family. Not a puppy, that's too much work... hopefully I can find a nice, calm, adult dog to bring into my home.
