I want a puppy. Has to be free with shots!?

Question

if you or someone you no has a litter of puppies that have had shots and will be free of charge.... and they are in the detroit michigan area... please tell me! i want a dog soooo bad

ppl! i have the money for the follow up stuff but i just dont have the money for the actual dogs and i do live in the quality home that people want for animals

Answer 1

Go to the animal shelter they give your dog all the shots and a free vet exam too =)

Answer 2

Just because you want a dog doesn't mean you should have a dog. If you are requesting a dog for free with free shots I'm assuming you are not financially stable and can not afford a dog. This tells me that if the dog is ever injured, disabled, or becomes ill you will not be able to provide the proper veterinary care for the dog. It sounds more like you want an accessory that a dog. Have you even though about what type of dog is appropriate for you and your living situation? How much a healthy food will cost, spay and neutering, leashes, collars, bowls, toys, crate, and next years veterinary care? What about housebreaking, obedience training, exercise, and socialization? Have you done research of the breed you want to see what kind of health problems to expect, the dogs drive, or any specail needs of the dog? There is more to having a dog than simply wanting one so I would suggest you hold off until you learn some more responsibility.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as a free puppy.
A puppy will cost you.
Shots are given 3 times before the age of 6 months. Plus you have to get a rabies vaccine.
At 5 or 6 months the puppy needs to be "fixed".
A puppy needs flea treatments, toys, food, and ATTENTION.
If you are able and willing to provide all those things, then
maybe you could handle a puppy.
Otherwise, you aren't being fair to the animal.

Answer 4

./sigh Im joyful you are giving a dog a home.. I hope it is a shelter dog, but seeing because it has not pictures and isn't spayed, Im going to anticipate its not. First and predominant though, if you happen to cant afford first photographs and neutering, do you honestly feel that you would be able to have the funds for a canine? Suppose in regards to the add-ons/leashes brushes and so forth, medicines ( monthly preventatives will also be upwards of $80 a month) vet visits - these can range, what occurs if an emergency comes up? Have you ever discovered a just right legitimate vet who will take repayments will have to an emergency arise? Im not seeking to change your intellect.. I simply want you to make a excellent responsible, proficient choice. On that observe, name your neighborhood humane society. They regularly present lowered pricing for spay/neuter and shots

Answer 5

There is no such thing as a free puppy, especially with all its shots.

How do you plan on paying for food? Bed? Toys? Spaying/neutering? Emergency vet care? Follow up vaccinations? Microchipping? And everything else that comes with owning a dog.

If you can't afford an adoption fee, then you can't afford the dog.

EDIT: If you have the money for everything else, why can't you afford the $100 or less it would take to adopt a dog from the shelter???

Answer 6

Okay, your question concernes me. The fact that you are not willing to pay anything to actually acquire the dogs tells me that you have no idea of what OWNING a dog actually costs. The average cost of owning one dog is about $1,500 a year. If you get a puppy, the first year is more expensive due to vaccinations, spaying/neutering, supplies, etc. You'll need to buy dog food, medications (heatworm and flea/tick -- both of which are monthly applications at about $50 each), toys, treats, and pay for obedience classes. Rescues, shelters, and pounds are full of homeless dogs and cats who were brought into homes by people that didn't know and weren't prepared for the cost of owning a pet. Please do not add to their numbers. If you are ready for a pet, please look at local rescues and on petfinder.com. If you are not ready for a dog, try volunteering at a local shelter or rescue. It's a good way to get your puppy-fix without having to actually own a dog. No dog is free, so you have to be willing to pay to own one.

Answer 7

most people who have puppies even if they are not purebred charge a small fee from $50-100
this is to ensure the dog goes to a good home
i would never give away a dog for free , if free price is the only thing you are interested in then tyou will not be a good owner
you need to worry about commitement, what breeds and sizes would be ideal , etc.
if you cant afford to adopt one from the local pound then you will not be able to afford food, vet bill,medication, dog bed, toys, etc
a dog is a commitement that requires fiancial stability

Answer 8

Well If you cant afford a dog or shots how are you going to feed, house or get the dog furter medical care?

Dogs come at a price and they are never free. Save up your money until you can afford to do all the right things for your new pup ok.

Answer 9

Good luck with that. Puppies are big business for some and it is rarely possible to find one free.

BTW, even a free pup cost money. Why not get a dog from your local shelter. They are UPT on shots, microchipped and spayed or neutered.

Answer 10

Puppies and dogs are living creatures with many needs.
they need shots, food, training, socialization, discipline, and love. out of everything they need, love is the only thing without a price.
However, you have to start somewhere.
I suggest you volunteer at your local animal shelter or humane society/aspca.
when you are ready, ask them if you can foster puppies or kittens. This will give you an idea of what it will take to take care of a dog.
also, go to obedience training classes, and get a good perspective of what you will be getting into.
when you are ready to fully care for a dog, financially, emotionally and physically, then this will help to prepare you.


Many dogs are victims of people who are not ready for responsibility, and end up in shelters, on the streets, or killed.
I have 2 rescue dogs, a rottie and a terrier.
my rottie was previously abused by one of 3 previous owners, and although their owners loved them, they couldn't take care of them.
I just do not want another victim of circumstance to occur, or for you to become overwhelmed by something you are not ready for.
sound fair?
good luck!

Answer 11

If you can't afford to buy a dog or get a low adoption fee together how do you plan on taking care of a dog of any age??

Dogs require routine yearly vet check ups, shots, licensing fees.

They need food, shelter a crate or kennels, toys, leash, obedience training, socialization...which means you must have money to take care of it.

If you want a puppy that's free and doesn't need anything else buy a stuffed animal.
