we are giving you advice..not being mean in any way. just dogs are expensive either way you look at it. why don't you go to http://www.petfinder.com and go to shelters & rescue groups at the top of the page (it's in the middle you can't miss it. ) and go to your state and look if there are any small dogs near you or better yet you can go to your local animal shelter / rescue and go see what they have.
