Are there small dogs for sale in London?

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 and around London today, small dogs are listed by Foal Farm Animal Rescue (in London), Rescue Remedies (at Smallfield) and All Dogs Matter (at Waltham Abbey), and 10 other rescues. Foal Farm Animal Rescue asks £150 to £350 for a dog and All Dogs Matter £150 to £220 for a dog. For Rescue Remedies, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Can I get a free small dog to a good home in London, 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 and around London today, the published fees run from £150 at Foal Farm Animal Rescue to £400 at RATS Animal Rescue. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 7, see the rescue's own page.
