How I did it: I just kept looking on www.petfinder.com. The website lists all local shelters and rescue centers, and you can search for exactly what you are looking for; type of pet, gender, age, size. I would just scroll through every couple days, and look at the available puppies. Then Ellie (my puppy) caught my eye. I called, she was still available, filled out the adoption application, and went to see her. Three days later, I picked her up from the vet from getting spayed, and she was all mine. It's been almost a year, and I love her more than when I first got her :)
