colej there's one by me, and I avoid the place only because I would find one that bonds with me and nobody else, and I'm not in a place to give a dog the best life.
I don't think it would be fair to the dog to be on the road for 12+ hours and stuck in the truck that long.

    Walterjn Or maybe stop by a dog park and see about scratching dogs for a bit. Maybe volunteer at a humane society and walk/ play with dogs.

    We live in a very small town (just less than 2000) and there is no humane society or dog park. I don't know how far I'd have to drive to find one either, other than Sioux Falls, SD but that's an hour and a half away from me. The neighbors used to have a dog that would come over and see me from time to time but he died and the neighbors moved away. My son has a pit bull mix dog but he doesn't seem to like me and I leave him alone.
