Where did you buy/find/get your dog from?

I got my pug from Canine Corral Kennels in Huntington Station, NY. My aunt lived by there and we would always stop in and the puppies always seemed so happy there. They don't keep them in cages and all the workers seem really good with them. I looked up the breeder before I bought my dog and they are a small family run operation so I felt comfortable and they assured me they only used reputable breeders (hard to take people's words for it though).

I have two awesome cats that I found on the street though. If you aren't looking for a specific breed, rescue pets are really special! The hardest thing about going to a shelter is not taking them all home.

I volunteered there all throughout H.S and our family dog was adopted from there. It is hard to find small breeds, especially puppies, if that's what you're looking for. The puppy we did end up adopting is still kickin at 13 and really sweet.

But there are sooooooooo many rescue organizations that have puppies of all breeds. If you go on petfinder.com and look for the breed you want you will find an organization or shelter that has what you want.

Many rescue organizations bring puppies and dogs up here to the north from the south. Our dog is from New Orleans.

Well before i knew about bybs... i got her from a byb in South Carolina... from puppyfind.com

i would only go to a shelter to get a dog now

We got our Brownie from Southampton Animal Shelter.

Exactly. It is hard to find puppies since they always get adopted out first. But there are HUGE benefits to adopting an older dog like they usually already trained and fixed! But I understand, I wanted a puppy, too. Best advice, go first thing in the morning on a Saturday, I think that's when they put a lot of puppies out.

Otherwise, definitely check petfinder or search specifically for breed rescues. There's sooo many out there! Good luck!
