Pet savvy Atlantians
Does anyone know where you can get free dogs or know if there's a place that sells them cheap? I never knew how the dog pound process worked. Is that a free pet to a good home only type of deal?
Looking for a small dog for my little sister for X-mas. Not looking to pay $1400 for this little dog here on my side of town haha.
Thanks for any suggestions.

th6is is my repost from another thread....
and if you are paying 1400 you probably are getting a show puppy....most times you get what you pay for
here is my repost
First off...NEVER buy a puppy from a pet store. They come from puppy mills. These places bred them for money, and that is their only intention.
The governing body for pure breed dogs in the US is The American Kennel Club (ie AKC). They set the standards for breeds, rules of shows, conduct and order. You can chck out their website at www.akc.org.
There are two ways to find a pure bred puppy for cheap or free.
A good way to find a reputable breeder is to go to an AKC sanctioned event, usually a conformation show. These shows are held everyweekend all around the US. Many breeders actually have to many puppies or yound dogs and are willing to give or sell th6em at a low price to a respectable home.
Another way to get an purebreed dog is to go th6rough AKC rescue clubs. These are posted on the akc website and there are many around th6e nation, plus we live in a metro area so I am sure they have one for your breed.
Good luck and PM me with any questions regarding AKC breeders or rescue groups.
