go to the pound and for like 50 bucks you can save a life that includes having the dog neutered.
the shelters and rescues sometimes have puppies. (BUT they usually only adopt those out to responsible owners - previous owners that have cared for their previous pets for the pet's natural live)
you can try looking in local papers or local classifieds - i doubt you will find any that are free
I agree. Go to the shelter and pay a little for a dog. It will have its shots and will be fixed.
I got my first cat at the shelter for $35. She was spayed and had her shots.
I got my second cat for free from my aunt, had to take it to the vet for its shots and to be neutered. It cost $150.
I'm so sorry your nephew lost his puppy.
No one gives away free puppies.
Remember the breeder have had to pay vet bills during the pregnancy. May a couple of thousand dollars if a c-section was needed which is often the case with small dogs. Also extra food and vitamins for the monther. Food and first shots for the puppies as well as worm medication and vet care if needed. It's not unreasonable to think a litter of pups can cost $3,000 or more through pregnancy until they go to their new homes.
Especially small ones. Yes try the pound or Petfinder. You will find a lovely pup for probably between $50-$200. A snip of a price seeing they will be spayed/neutered already.
Be careful - sometimes you get what you pay for. They're usually the last of their litter and the owner wants to get rid of them. If I was raising puppies, I would sell them for a higher price because I would want them to go to a quality home that is serious about their chosen breed. If they're a cheap price, that means that the owner doesn't care about the home they're going to. Check up on the reason why they're free or cheap...they might have bad health problems or aggressive tendencies. Good luck.
I think fostering a dog is free but I highly disapprove of receiving free puppies. Tell you why. A really good place to purchase or/and adopt a dog is from a breeder or an animal shelter. The average price essential for purchasing a dog ranges from $300-1000. And those bargains that are less than that aren't worth it because it is highly probable that the dog-mill bred and raised dog is deathly sick with various and numerous ailments and poorly house trained and/or people trained (optional). It's well known that dogs from pet mills, due to the dirty conditions and uncompassion in regards to the dogs wellbeing, that it is very sick with ailments which are often incurable but treatable with expensive heavy medication, which can tear a gap on your pocket. Don't be fooled by those pet shops because about 95% of all managers who maintain their pet shops purchase those apparently healthy cute and happy puppies from pet mills because they're so cheap! Disregarding animal rescue, your local dog shelter and breeder are the ones that truly care about where it is best suitable for their dogs to find that TLC. Usually they are very hesitant to allow you to adopt/ purchase a dog right away because you're a stranger to them. When you notice that fact and that they like to ask questions about your financial stability, job security, and other basic questions such as why do you want to get this particular breed? and why dogs in general? is your personality and lifestyle best suitable for your dogs needs...that's substantial evidence that they truly care about their dog. They ask those questions to make sure that although you promise to provide a loving home to the pet, you don't send it to the overpopulated animal shelter around the corner 2 weeks later. Some of them go to even extreme measures to force you to sign a contract, mandating that you provide your dog with a loving home for at least a couple of months and then you have to return it back to the breeder. Not all breeders do that but look for other obtruse signs that confirm their compassion for dogs. Check to see if the breeder is a member of pet owner organizations, such as the American Kennel Club or something similar and make sure it is valid. But if you can't seem to resist that bargain, make certain that retrieve documents about the dog's medical history and if they have received all of their vaccinations up to date. Prove that they are valid by a veterinarian. If the bargain benefactor refuses to present those papers, that's a sign that the dog potentially is sickly with numerous and various ailments. Learn more information that I possibly may have overlooked from an animal shelter, veterinarian and staff and the dog owner community. And via the Internet, I heard that http://www.petfinder.com/ is very resourceful in finding healthy dogs of all types of breeds. One more thing, the biggest scam that imminent dog owners encounter is when they purchase a dog across the shore. Although those papers may be valid, on numerous occasions, you may never retrieve the dog. Or if you do, they manipulate you by deliberately granting you custody to the wrong dog, a mixed breed, or a look-alike. And don't be fooled. Even breeders are money-hungry self-centered tricksters! I would trust animal shelters more. For more information, get advice from animal rescue, a veterinarian and staff, dog owners, and animal shelters.
Petfinder has animals in local shelters. You pay a small adoption fee which covers spay/neuter, etc...
Finding a free puppy in a newspaper probably isn't the best idea - you never know if you're getting it from a puppy mill, or if they've taken care of the mother or puppy. Petfinder allows you to help dogs find good homes %26 you can get a great pet in the process. They even have puppies, not just older dogs.
Hello. I live near Flint Michigan. You can always check the flint journal for free puppies. Or you can go to Animal Control. They have dogs and puppies for $50. You can also check the Genesee County Humane Society on Dort Hwy. This is where I got my dog. The adoption fee is usually like $110-130. They also have a lot of dogs and puppies available.
If you don't find the Perfect puppy here, you can check on http://www.petfinder.com to search for puppies who are in animal shelters in your area. Good Luck.
These people want a small adoption fee, but since it is craigslist I think it will probably be very small:

You should also be able to find listings in your local newspaper. Many people find pregnant strays and prefer to find homes themselves before taking the pups to the shelter. Mutts make wonderful pets.
If you get the dog from the animal shelter, the adoption fee usually includes shots and sterilization so you save money in the long run.
