I need a puppy.

Hello my fellow Somervillians.

I've had a rotten day at work (week, actually) and I decided the only cure is a puppy. Not to buy one, but to just cuddle one for a little bit. Trouble is, I don't know of any pet stores in the area. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Sure, animal shelters work. Anything guaranteed to have puppies when I show up. Puppies that want to be played with. Any recommendations for shelters, then?

All hail the mighty Google: "animal shelters", boston, ASPCA, stuff like that.

Right. I should have been more specific. I once used to volunteer at an animal shelter, long ago in another city, and it was pretty horrific, to the point I wouldn't want to send someone there. As compared to other animal shelters I've been to which are standard and normal. So I'm looking for recommendations on places people liked.

It's a bit of a ways, but Buddy Dog in Weston, near the I-90/20 interchange, are good people.

i was going to recommend them. i like them, and they have wicked cute dogs.

bummer that it's raining, though - i was going to recommend going to the bike path as well.
