Very interesting responses. I've got a couple years at least before I seriously consider getting a dog, so I haven't yet looked into all the options specifically. I didn't consider that there are breed-specific rescue groups. That may be an interesting way to go.
I wanted to start a more general conversation, so I left my specific thoughts out of the original post. I'll share now:
Like I said, I've got a few years to consider still, but at this point I'm pretty intent on getting a Shiba Inu (and before you blame it on the Shiba Inu puppy-cam, I've wanted this breed since before they were popular or even known by most). My mom's cousin has two and I enjoy them every time we visit, not to mention they are intelligent!
A quick Google search already yielded some rescue groups, so I'll have to look into that once I get around to looking more seriously.

Seriously? The front legs aren't called arms...why call the front knees elbows?
