Help.. I need info on adopting a dog in Canada..maybe a yorkie.?

I did my research on dogs and adoptions. There are alot of classified ads online.. like "free yorkies for adoption"etc. but when i actually ask them about a pic and details on adoption procedures. They ask me to give them my personal info. and a 100 dollars etc. they say it's the adoption fee(paperwork fee), and dog's actually free etc. Should i trust them? Especailly there's one guy replied my request within 15 minutes, and his/her reply's like 2 pages long single spaced…obvsly i mean i cant possibly do that within 15 mins. makes me doubt about their credibilities. If anyone of you knows about the adoption procedures and fees plz help me… Also, for my first dog, should i get it from a breeder? I knew to buy one from a reputable breeder's better. but adoption's cheaper and most importantly help to save a dog. Suggestions on this issue are welcome as well. Thanks guys.

a rescue or shelter is great place to go. The 100$ fee is usually used to cover spaying or neutering, vaccinations, admin costs… yes rescue societies and shelters have admin costs. This fee is also used to help by food, bedding, toys, etc, for the shelters.

When you go to meet a shelter or rescue worker, come prepared with a list of questions, and, be assured, they will have a ton for you. They will also likely require you to sign an agreement that you take your dog to obediance classes.
So, yes, trust them, the dog is "free", the 100 dollars is being put to good use so that the shelters/recue society can continue to operate and help these animals.

Rather than go for an ad "free whatever online" check out the breed specific rescue societies, or contact the Canadian Kennel Club, and they can put you in contact with the rescue closest to you.

Hope this helps, and bless you for going this route!
