Take a Walk on the (Not So) Wild Side

These warm fall days and cool nights are ideal for long and relaxing walks with a dog. After all, dogs tend to get overheated in the summer, and you'll be too cold in the winter (though most dogs seem to love snow).

Here are some great adoptable dogs that you'll enjoy walking on fall days, winter days — every day.
