OMG, do NOT use Pet Finder! or Puppy Find or any of those! I was just on them this week and found stolen pictures of dogs of mine that people were using to advertise puppies for sale! I was horrified!
If you are near Austin, call the contact person for the Travis County Kennel Club or the Austin Kennel Club and ask for their breeder referral chairperson. Have them recommend someone for you.
OR to to www.akc.org and search their breeder data base.

I want to purchase a dog..?
blahblah
I live close to San Antonio, and could even drive to Austin to find a shelter for a small dog.
I would like to purchase a small adult dog under 25 pounds, I want all the shots and microchip etc..
and I want maybe a Chihuahua something like that.
Questions I have are:
How much money should I expect to pay for the dog and everything that comes with it (shots,chip etc..)
How much monthly for food, if its for a 10-20 pound dog?
Personal experience please, and any other information I should know for being an owner of a small dog.
Answer
I just googled San Antonio animal shelters (and I live in Canada...) and foudn this immediately:

I'm sure if you check on the internet for other options, such as Austin, you could find other shelters.
Otherwise, just start researching reputable breeders if you're going that route.
That humane society had the adoptable dogs and pups listed for $60-$80 that included spay/neuter, vaccinated, microchipped, wellness exam, heartworm meds, etc...
Depending on what type of food you'll be buying, you can always stop in at a vet (it might be a good idea to get to know your vet before getting your new pup too, so you can stop in and chat with him/her), you can spend $25 - $80 for a bag of food. A small dog like that wouldn't go through a whole lot though (speaking from someone who owns an OEBulldogge and Bullmastiff where it's $150 per month for food alone).
You can also consider pet insurance, that link I posted gives you a free 30-day trail I believe. It's quite affordable for some smaller breeds (read the fine print though). Registration for the dog, leash, collar, kennel. You can probably spend around the $150 mark initially (plus adoption fees, and way more if you're buying from a breeder) on all the small things like toys, treats, food, bowls, collar, bed, etc. It all adds up pretty quick. You should also think about savings on the side in case of emergencies. Read through some of this dog section and see how many people are freaking out about their dog being sick and them not being able to afford medical care for their dog.
Good luck and happy dog hunting!
