... can you please help me.thanks!
Answers:
You are more likely going to find full grown dogs in an animal shelter. If you are looking for a specific breed, you can browse online for the specific breed and buy a puppy from a litter. We bought our two labs from local breeders, and we found them both by searching for "lab puppies" online.
Pound or Humane Society
All pet shops get their dogs from puppy mills, which is where the "bad stuff" happens.
You should try a pound, animal shelter, rescuer, or look in your local newspaper in the ads.
Or you can try petfinder.com
dog pound becuse they put those dogs to sleep if they dont go
humane society of our area but I have also found my pets on www.petfinder.com
Try the rescue sites (online) first. Usually those pups/dogs are already in a home. People foster pups/dogs until they are adopted.
Then, try the animal shelter & dog pounds.
I wish you the best of luck!
a pound or shelter is where u can usually go and sometimes on sundays and saturdays at petsmart
dog pound or animal shelter if you go to a pet store they will be much more expensive.
go to dog pound.. there are lots of dogs who needs good owner
all of them work but i wood say go 2 the pound cuz they need homes more then @ peat shops
You can go to a pet store, animal shelter, a breeder (expensive). Good luck finding a cute puppy.
Well if your looking for a pure breed you can find a breeder in your area. You can look in the paper. You can always rescue a puppy at an animal shelter like a spca.
a pet shop is a definately no no unless they're having an adoption fair. Petsmart, Petco, and PetFood Express does this usually on a saturday or sunday.
it might take more time to get a puppy at a humane society or a pound cause a lot of people get a younger dog rather than a older dog.
first go visit your local humane society and walk around there. they have tours depending on the place. some dogs are being fostered at another place, so checking out the humane society's website might be great.
checking petfinder.com is great also.
The first place I would check is 1800-save-a-pet.com or petfinder.com you would be surprised at the number of puppies that need a home and a lot of them are pure bred too. You might not find what you're looking for there but I would check there first because it is easy and they have a huge database of pets.
a dog pound or an animal shelter. do a search on yahoo for adoptable puppies in your area
If you like you can adopt at "petsmart" and they have vetnerians in there too
Go to your local animal shelter to search for a pet. An adopted pet is the best, because they will remember that you saved them. You can also try www.petfinders.com, which lists all types of pets in all areas of the country. There are sometimes fees that go along with adoption. But this is to assist in caring for the animals while they are being fostered or at the shelters. Please adopt and don't buy. Good Luck!
Go to a dog pound or look on petfinder. I think a dog pound will be best though because they'll put them to sleep.
A local pet store is sometimes good. If its a nice pet store. PetsMart sometimes have puppies for sale. And of course a saving a dog from a shelter is always good. Dog pounds are sometimes awful they don't always take care of the dogs and are sometimes in bad condition. You can always look in local newspapers people are always selling and giving away puppies.
I'm glad that you know not to buy a puppy from the mall. Pet shops are also bad ideas. Both places over price their animals and they are not always healthy. Over 90% of the time they are bought from puppy mills that are ran by people strictly trying to make money off of overbreeding their pets and keeping them in small kennels.
Shelters and pounds are great places to go. They have tons of puppies as well as pure breds and almost anything else you are looking for. If you want to keep your vet bills down, I reccommend looking for a medium sized mixed breed dog because they are more likely to have breed out any health issues related to a specific breed.
Good luck finding your new best friend. I'm sure you'll know the right one when you meet them.
PetsMart has regular adoption days. Call and ask them.
You might check with the city pound.
You might call a vet and ask if they know of a reputable place that would be sure to provide you with a healthy animal, old enough to be weaned, and having the proper shots.
The vet might even know someone with more puppies than they want.
Your local Humane Society or ASPCA is the best place to find a dog since they rescue dogs in need and they only put up good dogs for adoption. If they are not sociable and such they will euthanize them. Most pet shops are reliable but pricey. The dog pound and/or animal shelter is the Humane Society or ASPCA. These animals will not be put up for adoption unless the workers there believe that they will make a good pet. You will have to pay to have them spayed or neutered and you never know what you might find there. Most of them usually have puppies and adults.
go to a shelter or a dog pound! give a dog a home that might have been a stray, abandoned, or that had to go there because its owners couldn't keep him or her.
Pet shops have puppies too but i think that it would be much more $$$
Also some people's dogs might have puppies that they sell or give away. I got my dog from a family whose dog had puppies for like $200 or something, i forget.
Anyway good luck! and remember, there is no such thing as a free puppy.
aspca.com , petfinder.com , any animal shelter, news paper, and at special events for adopting a pet.
Petfinder.com is awesome! :)
First of all, do you know what type of dog you want. Large, small, guard dog or pet?? There are some excellent websites with descriptions of dog breeds on them. Please take into consideration how much time you are prepared to spend with the dog, who will look after it when you are on holiday or out at work. Are you prepared to exercise it? Once you have answered all of those questions, I suggest that you go to the pound, tell them what you are looking for and wait for something fitting your description comes in. Don't be tempted to buy the cutest looking puppy at the door, it's not what YOU really want.
unless you want to breed dogs go to an animal shelter or a dog pound. The sight of all those dogs stuck in cages will melt you heart. and you will be doing a good deed by saving a dog from...well you know that shelters can't keep dogs indefinitely.
We got our dog from the ASPCA in Texas...and we are so glad. He has brought nothing but joy to our hearts. The thought of the alternative if we had not adopted him makes us wish we could find homes for all shelter pets.
All good answers. If you have a specific breed in mind, there are "breed specific" rescue organizations on line where you can adopt as well. Just do a search on line, for example, type in your search engine "Husky rescue and your state".
you can go to your local dog pound or any animal shelter they usually give them to you easily because if nobody adopts them they put them to sleep hope my answer helps
