Are there small dogs for sale in England?

No. Rescues rehome small dogs for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In England today, small dogs are listed by Last Chance Animal Rescue (at New Romney), Angels 4 Dogs Rescue (at Birchington) and Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home (at Warrington), and 86 other rescues. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue asks £375 for any dog and Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home £200 for an adult dog. For Last Chance Animal Rescue, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a free small dog to a good home in England, 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. Of the rescues listing small dogs in England today, the published fees run from £150 at Foal Farm Animal Rescue to £500 at Dogs' Friends. Some are under £500; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other 39, see the rescue's own page.
