Hello there everyone. I'm very new to the forums. My name is Shelby, by the way. I have question for anyone that might be willing to help me. To make a long story short, I am currently job-less due to the economy and desperately need a baby to keep my company during the day when I'm home alone. However, I sincerely can not afford to spend more than maybe $200 on a dog, knowing the upkeep it will take with spending money on food as well.
We live in a duplex type house with my mom and step-dad. Upstairs they have 2 dogs and 3 cats, plus I have my two step-children always in and out of the house. To get to the point, I absolutely have to have a puppy that I can raise to socialize and such. And I need a small dog even when it's grown.
I have looked at the humane society where I live (Alabama) but I've found that most of those animals are going to be very large. I have fallen in love with the yorkie breed.
Sorry about the long story, what I'm getting at is that.. is there anyone out there who might know of where I could get a yorkie, or similarly small dog for my price range? The only dog my husband has ruled out is poodles.. I think the cuteness factor freaks him out, lol.
Thanks for any responses.
