I think it is a wonderfull idea freewill...

Go to any of the SPCA shelters and they will generally have a fenced in area for you to get to know any Dog you might be interested in..

You can sit and play and touch and "talk" with each other for as long as you wish..

And most shelters will have many breeds and sizes and ages...

There is a tremendous sense of gratitude expressed when a pet is saved...is becomes the platform for a wonderfull relationship...
