Having a four-legged friend of a certain breed is the dream of many animal lovers. But not everyone can afford to buy a dog today. The price for a puppy sometimes makes you give up on your dream, but under some conditions you can even get a purebred dog for free.
Is the cost of the dog justified
A purebred dog must be expensive. Sometimes a considerable price for a puppy is not only a tribute to the work of its breeders, but also the prestige of the name of the breed! Dogs of noble blood cannot be given for nothing. This is the case in most cases in dog breeding. But in life there are situations when they can even give you a high-quality dog for free.
Free dog in good hands
First of all, the gift is given to dogs with a difficult fate, as a rule, who have changed several owners or who have been in a dysfunctional family, have experienced suffering and have seen cruelty from people. Many of them lived on the street. Such unfortunate people today are picked up by dog lovers and given away for free for maintenance, in return you only need love and care for the pet. This is the mechanism of the so-called good hands.
Thus, you can help some poor four-legged fellow and at the same time get a thoroughbred pet. However, it is worth considering that sometimes free dogs are given into good hands with a bunch of diseases, often chronic, you need to be prepared for this. But in return you will receive not just the breed of the house, but the gratitude of a devoted friend. Anyone who has ever seen the eyes of a rescued dog knows that nothing like this can be bought for any money.
However, a purebred dog can be given away for free in good hands, not only because of the mass of diseases and hard fate. Life brings surprises to everyone, and the owners of an expensive and pedigree animal can have a dramatic change in the situation, so they are forced to give the dog for free into good hands. These situations are rare, but they happen to find out about them, you can regularly view not only message boards, but also go to the popular forum of the breed that you dream of having.
Finding a free dog
If passive waiting is not to your liking, you can submit an ad “take a dog for free” yourself on the forum of dog lovers in your region, on the breed forum and on the animal protection sites closest to your city. It is from these places that most often there is a reorganization of dogs for free to new owners.
Free dogs from the breeder
There is also the option of giving the dog away from the breeder, for example, when a litter of puppies is too late. Grown up thoroughbred dogs, of course, are rarely given away for nothing, more often they ask for at least some amount, but this option is not excluded.
Puppies with exterior marriage can also be given free of charge, but here you need to clearly understand that there is a marriage that does not affect the health of the dog (for example, a non-standard color), like the well-known White Bim Black Ear. But there may be a marriage that, with the age of the pet, negatively affects its health, for example, dysplasia of the hip or elbow joints. Therefore, taking a purebred dog in good hands, you need to know exactly why it is given away for free, so that later there will be no disappointment.
In addition to puppies, some breeders may donate their dogs for free after they have completed their captive careers. Still active, healthy pets at the age of 7-8 years, sometimes a little earlier, are looking for new owners - a loving family, to whom a purebred dog will be given free of charge only on the basis of love and worthy care. You can find out about such an opportunity, leave your coordinates, in any large nursery of the breed you need.
