I'll just chime in with our expenses....we got a shelter puppy last year for christmas, the adoption fee was 250, and he had all what was perscribed to 8 weeks old. We finished up with the vet through to getting him fixed, and counting such as leash/collar, crate, etc. it all came out to about 1K. Pets can be expensive in the beginning, especially a young one that needs all the initial medical care. Holy cow! That's more than I have spent on my pure bred dog so far. |

Personally, 2 animals I rescued had heartworm. One was a beautiful cream colored lab and the other was a Rhodesian ridgeback. They would both be put down instantly if I were to give them to a shelter. I spent thousands of my own money to get them back to health and fit for adoption. Was it crazy? Probably, but these were wonderful animals and I couldn't be the one to send them to their demise. Eventually they were both adopted by wonderful, loving, families and had to pay $150 to the rescue group for each dog. I think they got a bargain, personally.
No one would flame you for helping this dog.
Our dog girl is a rescue. She was being trained to fight and is very shy. She goes goofy loud barking when any white male with curly hair and a beard is near her. When I think of what a person did to her, I become aggressive. (we were told some of it) I love my dog girl, and she loves DS!
