Re: puppy help

Any local shelter, petfinders.com, or you can go to the AKC website and search for rescue sites of the breed you want - if you want a specific breed.

Good luck! Chat Icon

ITA. Please do not buy from a pet store, as those dogs are Puppy Mill dogs and are never what they seem.

There are a ton of great puppies available for adoption.

Before adopting make sure that:
1- your home is ready to accommodate a learning, growing puppy;

2- you are aware of the financial commitment involved to raise and care for a healthy puppy;

3 - make sure that you are available to help your new puppy adjust to his/her new life;

4- make sure that your life plan for the next 15 - 20 years has room for a dog Chat Icon

Petfinder.com is a great resource. Also Bobby and the strays (a rescue org) is having a major adoption event. Also the Little Shelter in Huntington has a great pet matching program. They are very helpful in finding a great pup that fits your lifestyle.

PLEASE feel free to ask many pre-adoption questions here....there are some very very knowledgeable pet owners on this forum.

Good Luck!
