Both you and your son need to spend some time with whatever pet you choose before you get committed (and attached). If your son has asthma, I would really consider a non mammal (ie no fur). I am allergic to cats and I used to get some runny nose and my face would itch around my sister's golden retriever. Fortunately I have no symptoms with my two greyhounds (retired racers) as they have very little fur and shedding is minimal. Look for a greyhound rescue group near you. Many have "meet and greets" at Petsmarts and similar stores on Saturdays.
