Are shelter or rescue dogs free?
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.
