What a great-looking dog!
I adopted my border collie from a pound, too. And she is also one awesome dog!
How to get a dog
It made me
pretty darn stoked. 
"Step 1: Visit the pound."
How I did it: 1st, bought a house. In my old town, pet-friendly apartments were tough to come by.
Wasn't sure I was ready, but at the urging of my girlfriend, I headed down to the Denver Humane Society to check things out. I would up adopting Otto, a feisty 2 year-old border collie mix. He had been there since November - almost 9 months. That means he's spent almost half his life in the pound! :-(
And it's been great so far. He's 10 times more well-behaved than a puppy. I thought I wanted a specific breed...but ultimately, I'm glad I went and met this guy. He's the coolest dog ever.
Lessons & tips: Go for the pound puppies. They're more well-adjusted, and SO MANY of them need a home!
Resources: Check out www.petfinder.org to find tons of dogs who need a home near you.
