I live in the Chicagoland area and you can go to the German Shepard rescues. Some of these dogs will be pure bred, but others will not. You could also look at Human Haven animal Shelter in Bolingbrook. This is a no kill shelter, and they have many types of great dogs looking for new families.

go on the internet and look up cheap dogs r us...and hope 2 pay a low amount of shipping and handleing. kk? NO! dogs are like people you cant get 1 anywhere that is cheap. u no how some pupies may be cheap? well they r cheap cuz they r not spade or neutered... unless u wanna have ur dog be spraying like egg cells or spem cells everywhere just save some money in the piggy bank and hope 4 the best.

Well you can take your uncle to your local shelter and let him pick out the dog he wants. Shelter dogs are cheaper than if you bought them from a breeder. That way your uncle can pick the dog he wants and you'd be saving two dogs, the dog you adopted and the dog the shelter now has room for.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's dog.
Take a look at the local animal shelter: Huskies and German Shepherds get brought there too.
Good luck!

Look up your local shelter. Usually the adoption fee is $100 or less and your dog will be spayed or neutered with shots. It's worth it. Or go to www.petfinder.com. There are a lot of good homeless dogs waiting for you to choose them to be your uncles buddy.

The SPCA. There are all kinds of dogs there, and they really need homes. You can adopt for a small fee, a bit more for purebreds (here in Delaware it's $50). Both my dogs are from an SPCA and they are wonderful. One is a German Shepherd/Doberman mix, and the other is a Lab and "neighbor's sneaky dog" - your guess is as good as mine.

Usually in the classified section of the newspaper they have ads selling or giving away dogs, cats, and other animals. Sometimes there are pets that are "free to a good home"... usually these dogs are older or are "muts." You can also check online at www.petclassifieds.us and you can enter where you live and see if anyone is selling or giving away their animals.

Rescue one from the shelter or call the rescue groups in your area. You are a loving niece and I hope you can find your uncle a new friend.

Local shelters/pound, and also check for any resue operations in your area. Dogs are usually free to good homes but sometimes you have to pay for shots, spay, neuter etc.

Is he ready to get another dog? If yes, then why isn't he getting the dog himself?
You can try petfinder.com but I'd strongly suggest that you talk it over with your uncle. No dogs are cheap, especially not in the long run.
