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

Breeders: If you are looking for a dog of a certain mix or breed than you may want to go with a dog breeder. A dog breeder works specifically with a certain breed to ensure the top of line dog. 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.

The obvious choice people make, when considering a new dog is to go to a specialized dog breeder. A good dog breeder will be able to sell you a puppy that has been checked for genetic problems, diseases etc and will very often provide you with a high quality pedigree dog that should be free from problems that plague a lot of dogs.

There is an alternative – adopting a puppy or adult dog. There are lots of dogs that are without homes at animal shelters or humane societies. Adopting a dog, may be a great way to offer a loving home to one of these dogs.

A lot of people are concerned that they may end up with an unhealthy dog, or a dog that may be aggressive by getting one from a shelter. Also, a lot of shelters offer in-house training to increase the chances of a dog finding a new home.

The best way to go about adopting a dog is to pay a visit to your nearest animal shelter. Bear in mind that if you have very small children, getting a large dog may not be a good idea. When you bring your new dog home, try and imagine things from her perspective.

There are many myths about the pet adoption.  Several myths about pet adoption is that the pet parent will get an animal with behavioural problems or temperament which does not suit the family.  There is also an animal shelter myth saying that animals in shelters are less valuable or intelligent that purebred animals.

To eradicate our fears of these pet adoption myths, we should know the adoption and selection process done by animal rescue groups and shelters.  Rescue groups and shelters ask a lot of questions about the prospective adopt pets parents or adopters.

Two reasons are there for this: first, is to ensure that adopter is able to provide permanent home to the new pet and next is to ensure if he is capable of handling the responsibility and financial commitment required to keep a pet.

The other reason is to ensure that the adopter and the pet would have a good match. Shelter and rescuers can identify what breed of animals you might be interested in.  Also they have a selection of mixed bred pets that can also display the characteristics of an animal or pet you have in mind.

To fully adopt the animal, a pet adoption fee is needed to conclude the process.
