Jun 28, 2010 | Comments are off | Animal RescueI need to get my pitbull mix neutered because we dont want him to breed the other female dog.And I have heard that animal shelters do it a lot cheaper than vets do. So can anyone tell me a good estimate of what they will charge?
It all depends on where you live. Our animal shelter offers low cost neutering for around $250 but also live in one of the highest priced areas of the country. In Washington DC they will spay/neuter any dog for free.
I am thinking about getting a dog. Maybe a Labrador Retriever or a cross with a Labrador in it. My cats hate other cats so its not a good idea to get another cat. But I know that usually breeders charge more for the puppies, but shelter dogs might have had a bad experience with people or other animals. (cats) So I was wondering if I should get a puppy from a breeder or a shelter?
Personally i would recommend getting a dog from a shelter…. there are so many wonderful animals in shelters… (i have adopted 6 dogs from shelters over my life time so far)…and the majority of them are just unwanted because folks moved or didn’t understand the work that goes into an animal. Yes they may have had trouble before but most shelters have screening programs… You never know what you will get from a breeder either…. some are reputable some are not…. before you get any dog you should ask yourself some questions… how much room do you have for a dog…. which would narrow down what size…. how much activity is there in your house…. how much exercise will you be able to give the dog…. Puppies need a lot of time, training and care….. your shelter can help you figure out what kind of dog is best for you… and my experience has been that when i hit the shelter the dog usually picks me not the other way around….. you know it when you see it kind of thing… if there are behaviors you need to correct you can always take yourself and your dog to a training class… many shelters have them…
good luck
I know there free but you do have to pay the shots and permits. i was wondering how much all that cost? oh and im in california.
Adoption fees usually range from $25 to $200, depending on the shelter and what is included. Our shelter charges $85., which includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, a microchip, and a city license.

-Want to know how to curb your dog’s aggressiveness?

Do you want your dog to be well behaved around people and other dogs?
AND have them obey all of your house rules… even when you’re not around ?
Remember, dogs know ONLY “dog language”. When they come to live with us, we must teach them our language.
Your dog is always learning. The problem is – how do you get your dog to learn good habits and NOT bad habits?
Dogs understand things very differently to us humans, so frequently when you are training (or even when you think you are NOT training) your dog you are actually making behavior problems worse!
When you see the world through your dog’s eyes you gain a huge advantage in training them to do what you want.
When you understand how your dog thinks – and what he needs to know – the training program is easy to follow.
Most dog obedience training courses rely on punishing your dog whenever he doesn’t listen…
They never reveal proven strategies that show exactly how to make your dog UNDERSTAND what you are communicating to him…
They don’t discuss the most vital part of getting your dog to learn new things! (Which is making sure he understands what you are trying to get him to do!)
You don’t need some 12–week dog obedience training plan where you do almost the same thing each week. This is not the most effective way of training your dog because your dog switches out of learning mode due to him not being used to learning new things!…
You don’t need some “scientifically calculated” dog training program based on hours of repetition that’s impossible to follow (not to mention doesn’t work).
What you need is the fastest and healthiest methods that exist to stop your dog’s behavior problems now!
Whether your dog is a puppy or an adult, it doesn’t matter, you can transform your dog’s behavior. Forget hiring a professional dog trainer and save hundreds of dollars.
Will you be next to change YOUR dog’s behavior?

The global economic crisis is also affecting pets. Many families can no longer afford their mortgaged home and as they move to a rented or smaller house, they are forced to leave their pets behind. The number of pets being dropped off to a New Jersey pet shelter has increased to sixty per cent. [Denton Infield, Pet Shelter Manager]: “We have a lot of people turning animals in who can no longer afford it, have lost their homes to foreclosure or are moving and just cannot afford the rent anymore — moving into smaller properties where they’re not allowed to have animals and of course they are turning them into shelters.” Dropping off a pet to a shelter is often a last-resort decision and one that causes families a lot of grief. [Denton Infield, Pet Shelter Manager]: “Well, people turning in animals because they can no longer afford them, it’s like giving up a part of your family — a lot of tears, a lot of heartache, upset. You can see it in the kids. They don’t want to let the cats go. They hold on to them.” The recession is also hitting hard the running of pet shelters with a drop by two-thirds on donations over the past year. According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), five to seven million animals go into the shelter each year. And three to five million of those are put to sleep for lack of space and resources. [Joe Sullivan, Senior Vice-President, ASPCA]: “These are wonderful, adoptable pets so it’s a very high risk factor that unless you offer yourself as a foster home or you help the family find temporary housing, that these animals could be euthanized for lack of space and that’s a horrible reason for a pet to die.” Sullivan recommends people to call their local shelters to ask how they can help, whether it be to foster, send funds or donate time
