Dogs are not humans (though I have convinced myself mine always were) and do not really know time. As you know from your shelter volunteering, these dogs are often left alone for hours and hours. If you can give a dog love and care, come up with baby sitting alternatives when the need arises, then maybe a dog would work for you. I do agree with previous posts - if you want one you will figure a way to do it, like anything else in life.
