Woof! The dog search begins

I'm planning on getting a dog in the beginning of the year. Today was the first day of looking around the internets for a pup. And also the dawn of the realization that I better get a new place before I go searching for my dog.

Plans: 10-25 lbs, male puppy, preferrably not from a breeder.
Live: probably more West LA-ish.
When: Beginning of year.
Who: Echo f'n Caballero, that's who.
