Where I live at we have a newsprint Magazine that comes out once a week. The magazine is a local classified ads zine. They cost only a few dollars. I think they sell classified ad magazines in any state. People call the number and pay $15.00 to place an ad. It is mostly ads for used cars, but they sell boats, motorcycles, jet skis, and musical instruments. In the back people are always selling puppies. They usually sell for $50.00 but the more sought-after purebreds can cost up to $250 - $700. It is a good way to get a dog within a two-hour drive of your house instead of looking at an internet ad for an over-priced $700 - $2000 dog that you have to make a six-hour drive to pick up. They sell the magazines at local gas stations.
A word of warning about those classified ad puppies. Get them vaccinated and get them dewormed at a vet as soon as you get it. Make sure you know what the puppies of a particular breed look like. No one sells a German Shepherd for only $75. People will sell you a pup that is a half black lab and half chow. You won't even know it until it is six months old. If they tell you that they have papers on only one of the dogs but not the other then that is a good sign that you are being scammed. Keep in mind that papers can be faked.
