I want to get a dog that will make a good therapy dog?

I recently had to put my 2-yr old st. bernard to sleep. We were workig with him to be a pet therapy dog at nursing homes and hospitals. We are very sad. My husband and I would like another dog either puppy or from shelter that would be a good temperment dog, very social, good with children so we can still pursue the therapy dog thing. As we both like to volunteer and see the joy people get from dogs.

it’s easy to suggest breeds, but you’re talking about a rescue dog, so it’s not going to be a puppy you train from early days. That means you need to look more at indivudual temperament and character and less at breed. Decide if you want a large or small dog in your house..what fits your lifestyle better? Then start looking for a dog in your size range that is first relatively calm and gentle. You’d ideally like it to be visually appealing on some level, but “cute” can be anything from a scruffy terrier to a gorgeous show type dog. If the dog can charm YOU at the shelter, and make you want to touch it and love it, then it’s very likely going to have that effect on other people as well. But obviously you don’t want one that is tryng to charm you by leaping all over you.
