   I think fostering a dog is free. A really good place to purchase or/and adopt a dog is from a breeder or an animal shelter. The average price essential for purchasing a dog ranges from $300-1000. And those bargains that are less than that aren't worth it because it is highly probable that the dog-mill bred and raised dog is deathly sick with various and numerous ailments and poorly house trained and/or people trained (optional). It's well known that dogs from pet mills, due to the dirty conditions and uncompassion in regards to the dogs wellbeing, that it is very sick with ailments which are often incurable but treatable with expensive heavy medication, which can tear a gap on your pocket. Don't be fooled by those pet shops because about 95% of all managers who maintain their pet shops purchase those apparently healthy cute and happy puppies from pet mills because they're so cheap! Disregarding animal rescue, your local dog shelter and breeder are the ones that truly care about where it is best suitable for their dogs to find that TLC. Usually they are very hesitant to allow you to adopt/ purchase a dog right away because you're a stranger to them. When you notice that fact and that they like to ask questions about your financial stability, job security, and other basic questions such as why do you want to get this particular breed? and why dogs in general? is your personality and lifestyle best suitable for your dogs needs…that's substantial evidence that they truly care about their dog. They ask those questions to make sure that although you promise to provide a loving home to the pet, you don't send it to the overpopulated animal shelter around the corner 2 weeks later. Some of them go to even extreme measures to force you to sign a contract, mandating that you must provide your dog with a loving home until so and so and if you are facing finanical instability, you should resort to returning the pet to the breeder rather than negotiating to have it settle in an animal shelter. Not all breeders do that but look for other obtruse signs that confirm their compassion for dogs. Of course, this is the IDEAL breeder! Not every breeder may fit this criteria. Check to see if the breeder is a member of pet owner organizations, such as the American Kennel Club or something similar and make sure it is valid. But if you can't seem to resist that bargain, make certain that retrieve documents about the dog's medical history and if they have received all of their vaccinations up to date. Prove that they are valid by a veterinarian. If the bargain benefactor refuses to present those papers, that's a sign that the dog potentially is sickly with numerous and various ailments. Learn more information that I possibly may have overlooked from an animal shelter, veterinarian and staff and the dog owner community. And via the Internet, I heard that http://www.petfinder.com/ is very resourceful in finding healthy dogs of all types of breeds. One more thing, the biggest scam that imminent dog owners encounter is when they purchase a dog across the shore. Although those papers may be valid, on numerous occasions, you may never retrieve the dog. Or if you do, they manipulate you by deliberately granting you custody to the wrong dog, a mixed breed, or a look-alike. And don't be fooled. Even breeders are money-hungry self-centered tricksters! I would trust animal shelters more. For more information, get advice from animal rescue, a veterinarian and staff, dog owners, and animal shelters.

   Go to a shelter and/or look up Weimaraner rescue groups in your area. If you can not find any then adopt a mixed breed, they need homes too.

   Have you tried a Weimaraner rescue in your area, try petfinder.com (but be careful) or checking your local newspaper classifieds.

   Be sure to read everything you can on Weimaraner's they are highly energetic dogs that are very strong willed and hard headed, they have a very high separation anxiety issue. They are highly protective of their human and their territory, and very wary of strangers. Train your weim from day one, attend obedience classes and work with them a lot, socialize early on. On the plus side they are very loving dogs, that follow you everywhere (velcro dogs) I love mine to death she's a wonderful dog, but I also have worked hard at training her to be a good well behaved dog, she has not been an angel but she's much improved.

   I would talk to some Weimaraner rescues in your area, even if they haven't got any Weims that suit you they might be able to refer you to a responsible breeder in your area. Weimaraners are amazing dogs, good luck in your search
