Purchasing a Small Dog

Can any one help me find a small dog? We just lost our faithful companion of 14 years. I have been searching all over with no luck. We had a shihtzu. Can anyone tell me where i can purchase another small dog? Hopefully in central ny. Any thing you do will be greatly apreciated.

SINCERELY,
Charles From Herkimer, NY

THE INTERNET IS SUCH A GREAT SOURCE FOR EVERYTHING AS WELL AS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SHELTERS ARE REALLY GOOD PLACES TO,SO MANY DON'T FIND HOMES

Most counties have shelters overflowing with good pets that need a home for a variety of reasons. Just because someone else no longer wanted the animal does NOT mean the animal is "bad"; more likely just a family that no longer has time or energy to care for the pet. Fees will vary, but the pet comes to you neutered, shots updated, healthy and sometimes even microchipped. Well worth the $100 we paid for our 6 year old, WELL TRAINED dog. We couldn't be happier.

Good luck!

Try petfinder.com. Also, try any breed specific rescue groups on the internet. You will find many.

PLEASE try shelters Petfinders.com is great. You could save a life and get so much love in return.
I have a full bread yorkie but it was gift from a breeder and he was a runt that stole our heart.
Be very careful if buying a dog that has been bred so
many have been over bred so be careful.
Try a shelter you will be surprised and feel good also.

If you are looking to rescue a puppy, I would suggest Petfinder.com. Just enter your zipcode and they will show you the closest puppies to you. I live in Albany NY and there are a lot of dogs in shelters looking for good homes.

Pets are so special and I'm sorry for your loss. Have you tried your local SPCA? They have alot of good dogs and puppies that need homes. If you don't like spending alot of money, you could have one that might have their shots and some are already fixed.

How about visiting your local animal shelter to look for a new small companion? It's not only less expensive, but you'll help save a life!
