BUT..MORE than money,u do need to give a lot of time to yr dog,so please dont just go and pick up a puppy coz its cute..coz after they r all grown up,they need more than just "liking" dogs..they need dedication..or,like be my bro, one fine day u will also say you dont "need' the dog anymore..how anyone can use an animal like this is beyond me..anyways...chk out QAWS..Personally, I wd say u shd volunteer for them first and then decide if its up your alley.best of luck.
