Areias is right. A dog contributed into a drug program or even the seeing eye in Morristown NJ usually goes back to the contributor. Even if the dog came from a shelter originally, they will place- but they would not have take a dog that is laid back. If you live out of state, which looks like you do, they would not let you adopt the dog. You also need to spend a considerable amount of time with the dog one on one to make sure this would work, and I am sure that would be impossible to do.
If you are looking for a dog, look into your local area. And remember, any adoptee needs alot of time, training, and patience.
