Your local animal shelter will probably give you the dog free, though they will probably ask you to pay for having it neutered or spayed (this is generally compulsory, to avoid the problem of stray animals), and having it innoculated at least against rabies and Parvo-virus. You must then consider the cost of giving the dog a safe, comfortable place to sleep (a kennel or basket and blankets. Then there is the regular cost of keeping the dog and its living-place free of ticks and fleas, taking it to the veterinary for annual booster shots or when it is sick or hurt and, last but not least, buying it good food to keep it healthy. Keeping an animal is a major commitment.
