So I am thinking about getting a dog to help with my depression, it'll be a therapy dog of sorts but I can't afford one of those so it'll be unofficial for anxiety and companionship, any thoughts?
There are plenty of (heartless) people on Craigslist trying to get rid of dogs (and cats), you could find one on there. You'll probably want one that has a calm approach (since it's for therapy) and that has an energy level similar to your own (like some dogs need more running-around time than others).
