Adopting a dog usually involves a fee from $100 to $300, and puppies are generally more expensive. However, this fee is cheaper than the cost of buying a puppy, and the money will go to the shelter. Most shelters are non-profit organizations, so your fee will help keep up the shelter and will help other needy animals. Also, shelter dogs most often have had a medical check-up and some degree of socializing.
