A Partial hospitalization program I feel is a good idea. A pound "puppy" usually comes with all his/her shots and fixed. If you get an older "puppy" they are usually potty trained. Dog food for my pet is $30 every 2 months. I'd be less if she want 45 lbs. greyhound that eat's like a horse. ASPCA also some times has pet food pantry.

PHP is usually daily for 2-3 months until stable.
