So everyone in the household has made the decision to get a dog. But where can you get this new dog from? Listed below are the most typical areas where you are likely to find your new dog.
• Rescue of breeds
Breed rescue groups are people who care for a type of purebred dog. People who want Golden Retrievers, for example, will care for homeless Goldens until they find a place. Dogs will often be neutered or spayed before being adopted. Almost every breed has its own rescue group. People at the rescue will get good homes for dogs in need. There is a fee that helps to spend on purchased medical care
• Breeder
Breeders are people who raise purebred puppies for sale. Some breeders have dogs from time to time. Some raise many cubs. There are many breeders, and some breed healthier puppies than others. The AKC can provide names of breeders in your city who are smart about the type of dog you want. Go to their home or kennel to see clean, happy, healthy and well-behaved canines. Make a lot of queries.
• Department of Animal Control
At the Department of Animal Control, you will find abandoned dogs. You will find purebred and mestizo dogs. This place is often referred to as the dog shelter. There is a fee (cost to the dog) that helps pay for medical care received while the dog was in the animal shelter. The dogs are often neutered or sprayed before they each go to their new homes.
• Human society
The Humane Society has a veterinarian who examines the dogs to make sure they are healthy. Dogs are usually likely to be neutered or spayed before they are taken away. There is usually a fee (cost to the dog) that helps to spend on medical care received while the dog was at the Humane Society.
