Where Can I Rent a Dog?

Okay, I know this sounds somewhat strange and disturbing, but I'd like to rent a dog for an afternoon.

I found this service, FlexPetz, that lets you rent dogs, but their New York location isn't open yet. It's actually not as strange as it sounds. From the site:

FLEXPETZ is a shared dog ownership concept that provides our members with access to a variety of FLEXPETZ dogs. All FLEXPETZ dogs complete obedience training and some FLEXPETZ dogs are also certified as therapy dogs.

Through the FLEXPETZ shared dog ownership concept, members can spend from just a few hours to a number of days with each of our dogs. FLEXPETZ dogs are available in varied breed sizes to ensure compatibility with our member's individual lifestyles and unique circumstances.

They rescue dogs and rotate them in and out as people adopt them. So, it seems a good way to get people attached to the animal and increase adoption rates.

Know any place in the city I can do this?
