The old song asks, "How much is that doggie in the window?" But the price of puppies for sale depends on where you buy them. Today's canine consumers really need to ask:The answers can affect a dog's lifelong impact on your budget (and heart).Between 1980 and 2005, pet care costs virtually doubled in real dollars. So, we're not talking kibble, but serious pet care cash. "The purchase price is probably the least amount you're ever going to spend on the dog," says Lisa Peterson, spokeswoman for the American Kennel Club.Consider these outlets where you can procure pets.The average cost to rescue an animal runs between $50 to $150, with housing, food and additional veterinary care adding $30 to $70 per day. "Adoptions are generally a financial loss," says Julie Morris, ASPCA senior vice president community outreach. When critics cry price gouging, Dave Wintz, with the Larimer County Humane Society in Colorado, explains the tradeoff. "Those higher puppy fees save more lives. An owner-surrendered Yorkie that comes in today and goes out tomorrow allows us to keep that five-year-old beagle for two months."

Budgets for a single litter run $3,000 to $9,000, and may include:"A reputable breeder will spend thousands of dollars before a single puppy is produced," says Milan Hess, DVM, a veterinary reproduction specialist near Denver. "Basically, good breeders never make money breeding a litter when you also take into account all the expenses incurred raising, feeding, training, exhibiting, health testing and providing veterinary care for their breeding dogs."Some breeders also use systematic neurological stimulation, socialization and training exercises aimed at raising healthier, more stable pups."From the moment they are born, I spend as many waking moments with them as I can," says Brad Phifer, director of pet behavior services at Broad Ripple Animal Clinic and Wellness Center in Indianapolis, who breeds basenji and standard poodles. "I feel such a responsibility to these puppies. I don't just want to raise them, house them and then ship them off to become someone else's problem."Whether you are here to start the process of adopting a pet or simply want to browse our amazing cast of adorable pups, you have come to the right place!
