At first, I dismissed this as a negative comment.
However, on second reading, I think Photo voices a valid concern.
Janet, I applaud your wanting to make a positive difference in this man's life. Good for you.
I assume this gentleman isn't young, and therefore probably should adopt an older well-trained dog.
Older dogs may well develop health issues that lead to expensive vet bills.
Also yearly check-ups and preventative pills for heartworm and lymes disease aren't cheap.
Janet, please make sure he can afford food, medication and vet bills before you make a decision.
Oh, and grooming is expensive, so a short-haired dog like Beau would be best.
