Its that time of year huh? I was feeling the same way..so I went to the pound yesterday and to my surprise I found the cutest puppies. They are chow/rottweiler mix. They kinda look like Max from Man's best friend.
A good pet that doesnt get to big and is low maintainence is a bunny. I have had mine for a year and she's great. THey are pretty clean, love to play and they can even eat table scraps
