Go to the dog shelter - as much as possible.
Look around, visit with all of the dogs.
Bring the whole family, there's bound to be one you fall in love with. When you do, make sure he/she will be happy in your living conditions (Is your yard big enough for that size dog, would it like small children...etc) and if possible, bring your current dog in to visit and meet it. Also, would your current dogs allow/enjoy another canine family member?


I personally think mutts are the best choice if you don't have a breed that you've been looking for. Also, mutts can/most of the time will be the best family dogs you can get.

You can find Pure Breed dogs in shelters and in rescues, so they're always the best choice when getting a dog.

What's better than saving a life?
