Are shelter or rescue dogs free?

Shelby Marlo, CPDT (Animal Behavioral Specialist, Professional Dog trainer) gives expert video advice on: Where do I go to get a dog?; Don't shelter or rescue dogs come with too many problems?; Do dog breeders provide the healthiest dogs? and more...

Shelter and rescue dogs are not free. They come at a price: you do have to make a payment for them. However, they do come spayed and having all their shots. There's a lot of pluses to that if money is an issue. You have to take into consideration what this dog might have been through and know that you may have to put them through some training. A lot of dog shelters now are offering free training classes and lectures that help you to better assimilate the dog into your home.
