Ashbourne Animal Welfare asks £275 for an adult dog, Just For Dogs normally about £400 and Chesterfield Animal Rescue £450 for an adult dog.

Can I get a free older dog to a good home in Derbyshire, or one under £500?

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it.
