If there's a nearby shelter, do they have volunteer opportunities or a foster program? I started volunteering at my local shelter a while back, and last year, got approved to be a foster. I've never had a dog, so i figured this was a way to get used to having one, and a way to get in the door for adopting one. On my third foster so far. Haven't had any I wanted to adopt, but hoping. Dog ownership in the area is so high that the shelter is actually bringing in dogs from other shelters; there's a steady stream of new dogs passing through. There's 3 unofficial categories of shelter dog: category 1 (cute, well-behaved; gone in a week), category 2 (some behavioral/medical issues, usually gone in a month), and category 3 (significant behavioral and/or medical issues, usually there for several months-several years).
