i thought u can adopt a dog for free HELP PLzz REply HOw Much Is it to adopt a dog

[shinocicada]

The Toronto Humane Society doesn't charge but they ask for a donation that'll end up costing you about 100-130-150 maybe even 200$ for spaying/neutering/shots/microc­hipping and to make sure they go to a good home.

Small price to pay, and its a lot less than the 600$+ for "pedigree" dogs.

[tmhahaha]

$50-$80

It really depends on where you go. Most shelters work off the money from an adoption fee. It also depends on what they've done for that dog.

[helpas345]

it really depends on the shelter ome can cost up to 600$ for a puppy and 300$ for a full grown dog or a dog around here for about 40$ for any type so it just depends on the shelter like i said

[urbby307]

do anyone know the range of price of adopting a dog??

[kiki595]

at my shelter older dogs are 200 if theyre 1 year or older and they come with vacc, licenses, microchipped, and neutered/spayed...young ones are between 275-350 and also come with the above...small young dogs such as toy poodles or those kinds can reach up to 450 but thats usually the highest..it takes about 100 to cover shots about 75 for neutering or spaying and 20-50 for microchipping so its really worth it

[nshaw489]

150.00

[purplechickon]

At the city shelter I work at all dogs are $173. When u adopt we spay or neuter them, they get their rabies shot, microchipped, and a one year license depending on where the person lives. Not to bad if you ask me :)

Dont Buy Dogs At The Pet Shop Only A Shelter Or Pound

Very informative. We adopted a shy dog and she is such a sweetie. She still hides from people until she gets used to them and it takes a while, but she does eventually accept them and will allow a pet or two.

[ImBryansBabyGirl]

Most people are so ignorant when it comes to pets. They don't THINK. They just buy whatever is pretty or trendy without THINKING it through. DON'T SHOP- ADOPT!!! Spay and neuter your animal friends. STOP BREEDING AND BUYING WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS ARE DYING!!!

INIT that wat i say there r free dogs and they need our help my mum whats to adopt one but how? do u no

[Darthbelal]

I agree, I think the first step ANYONE consider getting a dog should be to hit the libraries and bookstores. Read the books on training, correcting behaviours, breeds and how to adopt from shelters. Watch the videos, Cesar Milan is good. Don't think you know, KNOW you know.

If someone wants a dog and isn't willing to do the homework, they're really not ready to get a dog.

And yes, the shelters and rescue organizations are THE place to get your dog. That's where mine came from.

[amykimluvsyou]

exactlyyyyyyyy

[m420swed]

you can change any behaviour problems (ie, shy) with some training, i just adopted a dog with shyness and fear afression and within 2 weeks with good training he is a perfect dog, that loves to learn , and is so outgoing, so if you have time to retrain the dog, please dont forget about the dogs that have small issues that can be fixed easily, sometimes they just are not sure how to act, and they need someone to show them :))

[BrightonGirl]

i AGREE!!!!

[arcadiareptiles]

Very good words. especially about breed specific. judge by individuals not JUST a breed
