With the economy as it is I am finding more and more pups coming into rescue due to owners losing their homes. There are many upsides to adopting. For one cost. On average you can adopt for about $400 which will include not only the shots and vetting but also the spay or neuter which in NJ alone costs $350.00. Not trying to cram rescue down anyone's throat, just making a suggestion since cost was brought up. The great part is you not only have a reasonable cost but you are also saving a life.

I second Elaine's and rhetts mama replies. Out of 6 rescues Zoey was the most expensive at $400 dollars. It did not cover the rescue groups spay, vetting etc. There are many dogs in rescue groups looking for a good forever home. There is a small rescue group in Butler OH that has "toy breeds". That is the rescue where I adopted Zipp (was Spike) from late Feb '10.
