Thanks for the advice! I will ask my dad if we can go to the SPCA soon, I've only been there once in my life!! (dad's on my side) =) But if we find one I like, hopefully I can bring mom to show her!
Good luck! But remember, keep a level-head when you go -- seeing all those dogs can be tough, and you'll want to take every single one of them home. Make sure if you really do find a dog you want, that it's really what you're looking for and really fits well with you and your lifestyle.

Again, good luck and let us know how it goes!
