Hello everyone, I am Suzan Turner and I recently moved in to LA, am a big time dog lover and have always wanted to have one and I finally think its my chance, can anyone please help me in locating a good place where I can adopt a dog and which breed should I bring in

Without knowing what breed or mix you are interested in, it's hard to give a specific suggestion. Also, which LA? Louisiana or Los Angeles, CA?

 

[Suzan09]

I am in Los Angeles, CA
As for breed I would like to have a golden retriever

Do you want a rescue dog or a puppy/dog from a breeder? If you want a rescue, then I found this organization in the area. Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue – Finding loving, lifetime homes for all SoCal Golden Retrievers in need, regardless of conditions or circumstances If you want to purchase from a breeder, then contacting the local AKC club would be a good idea. Welcome to the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue.

I agree with @LeoRose that the Golden Retriever rescue of Los Angeles would be a great place to start. You could also go to Petfinder. They have the dogs from thousands of rescues and shelters across the U.S.
Here is a Petfinder link of the Golden Retrievers in LA: Dogs for Adoption Near Los Angeles, CA | Petfinder

A boxer...? Did a quick yahoo search of dog adoptions in LA area, not familiar with any of the results. After checking out some of their questionable adoption fees, think i'd feel safer locating a reputable breeder...
