If I am looking to get a dog, what places do you recommend taking a look at? I've heard both good and bad about the Franklin County animal shelter. From looking at their website it seems that 80% of their dogs are pit bulls. Nothing wrong with pits but I would prefer something like a beagle, basset, lab, retriever, etc. Not purebred, I'm cool with mixed mutts and shit, but you get the idea. I'm open to pretty much any kind of dog, but fuck Pomeranians.
I also looked at the Madison County shelter website, first impression is they are a little more descriptive of the dogs' personalities and they have a better mix of breeds, but they call their training program "prison" which seems a bit weird.
So far, those two places are the only two I've thought of. Any thoughts/experiences/opinions, please feel free to share!
