Dad expressed interest in getting a dog tonight. I pulled up the list of available dogs at the local shelter on my phone - 2. Seems everyone has cleared out the kennels, which is awesome for the doggos, but not for people still looking.
Sadly, I doubt it will happen for us. He won't want the dog in the house - especially not a big dog (he was talking German Shepherd or Staffy like our workmate's dog), and we don't have fences.
