Pick any area humane (preferably "no-kill") shelter. Google it for your area or it's most probably listed in the phone book (at least in the yellow pages).

Be forewarned, you're going to want to bring one or more home. Consider the training time, adoption and annual expense (ask if you're not familiar) and make an informed decision. If you know an established trainer and are looking to adopt a dog, take 'em with you to evaluate and test the goodness of fit. Otherwise, find one, then visit the facility.

After 30+ training years, I'll usually do the evaluation for free, but I do not train commercially any longer and am semi-retired from neurophysiology and psyc, train K9s and War Dogs. The take-away here is that a small fee for a solid trainer that's good at pairing dogs and handlers is a few bucks well spent rather than getting a poor match. Ask multiple Vets and friends who is top of the line in your area.
