There are several places to obtain a dog that include breeders, kennels, rescue shelters, pet stores, humane societies, and private owners.

Dog breeders tend to charge a little more for the dog as they have taken care of the dog since infancy and they are raising an elite breed. These dogs are generally sold as puppies.

Kennels or Shelters: There are two types of shelters from your regular animal shelter to your rescue shelter. Shelters will also take in unwanted pets from litters. Most often in an animal shelter you will find a mixed dog breed or a mongrel. Generally a dog that is well bred is sold by the owner rather than given to a shelter.

Human Societies: These types of places are also animal shelters. They house unwanted animals or dogs they have found on the streets. Most often you will not find a particular breed in the shelter, but a mix of breeds, and of course mixed breeds of dogs.

Pet Stores: A pet store usually carries a breed of dog. In other words there are usually not mixed breeds of dogs, but Huskies, Terriers, Dalmatians and other well known dog breeds that most pet owners are interested in. Keep in mind that pet stores will offer an increase in price on the dog above the animal shelters or humane societies.

Private Owners: A private owner is someone who is not a breeder, but has recently had a litter of puppies and tries to sell them or give them away for free.

There are many choices in adopting dogs. It really doesn’t matter were you adopt from as long as you are willing to care and love for your new family member.
