My family is looking to get a puppy. I don't want to adopt from someone who abuses dogs.... Puppy mill type place. I dont want to be scammed, I've contacted some people on Craigslist and they are clearly scammers. And I can't spend thousands of dollars to purchase a dog! We are looking for a small dog, hypoallergenic that will be good with kids. When I looked at the county shelter it's mostly pit bulls and muts (nothing wrong with those just not what our family is looking for) Same with most shelters I've checked. So where would be the best place to look?
