008. Finding a Home for a Dog
For whatever reason, you may need to find a home for a dog. List
everywhere: newspaper, bulletin boards, computer bulletin boards,
newsletters, anywhere you like. But limit sharply: don't adopt out if

the dog's old enough, committed to a 20 year responsibility, they have
a home or apartment that permits pets, knowledgeable about dog health
and behavior or committed to become so. Do charge a nominal fee unless
you know the adopter well; this keeps away those collecting animals
