I have had several dogs fail to find other homes after fostering them. In every case, the pound was more than happy to provide me with everything I needed to care for the dog, got it’s shots and any treatment it needed, and then gladly signed the dog over to me for whatever I felt comfortable donating when I said I’d like to keep them. My first dog I gave them 5 dollars, which as the cash I had in my wallet, and the gal running bought me lunch and a beer out of her own pocket while I signed the paperwork.
Foster dogs. Foster cats. Support your local pounds.
Volunteer or get a job at a shelter!
If you have the space for it they’ll probably have you foster some at your house. If you’ve got a large one it could be quite a few…
I’ve never purchased a dog.
