Check online for your local humane society or animal shelter. DO NOT GO TO A PET STORE!! THe dogs at petstore, whil incredibly cute, often come from horrible breeding facilities and puppy mills. They often have genetic defects, poor lineage, or kennel related illnesses that aren't detectable until days after bringing the pup home. By that time, the shop will have used your money to continue funding a puppy mill and your pup could be in a life threatening situation. Your local animal shelter should have plenty of dogs to choose from and most shelters know a lot about each individual animal, whether it is from the previous owner or from personal interactions with the animal. They can help you find the right dog for you based on what you are looking for. Also, the dog will have updated shots and possibly already be spayed/neutered. The fees are low compared to purchasing a dog elsewhere and often times you can find purebred dogs if you are interested in a particular breed. Good luck!

Go to your local animal shelter or pound. They often have smaller dogs that are already housebroken and of all ages. It is not uncommon for someone to get evicted from their apartment and leave their faithful friend behind. Adoption is cheaper, you'll be saving a life, and there is often an incentive when you get your dog altered. When I adopted from my local animal control, I got most of the adoption fee back when I sent in a vet letter stating my mini poodle was already neutered.

Humane Society on Gaines and Morena. I think you can get one for less than $100 already licensed, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and micochipped. I've gotten two cats there and it's a great place. The facility has been completely renovated- it's worth checking out and saving an animal's life!
