How Do You Adopt A Dog For A Low Price?
Adopting a dog can be one of the greatest pleasures in life, and one of the easiest if you know where to look. Instead of purchasing a full-blooded dog from a breeder, many of whom charge hundreds or even thousands for a pedigreed puppy, try adopting an animal from a shelter or a rescue group. You can save yourself a lot of money and still have a valuable relationship with a deserving dog. Contact your local animal shelter. Shelters not only have lower prices, their dogs are already spayed or neutered and vaccinated, details that can prove expensive if taken care of on your own. Let the shelter know your preferences for breed, size, age and temperament, which is what most shelters like to use to match a dog with an owner. You also can specify a breed. Shelters do have full-bred dogs and puppies, but older dogs usually are already potty-trained and priced cheaper than puppies and younger dogs. Search for other shelters online.
