We got our sweet dog from a rescue shelter. I could not ask for a better dog. He was already housebroken so we didn't have to go through all of that. The adoption fee was $25. We have since done some volunteer work for the shelter. Also we use the vet services at PetSmart- their vet system is called Banfield. We bought doggy "health insurance" there which means we pay a low monthly fee (under $30) and then all the doctor visits and routine shots, etc. are free. And other procedures are discounted. It has saved us a lot of money. But I agree that dogs are expensive (though who can put a price on unconditional love?) and a lot of work. Good luck on your decision!
