In our rescue dogs are rehomed for a donation of at least £100 more if the person can afford it - we have to pay for vets fee's, rent, food, toys, heating, transport, insurance and often we "buy" dogs out of awful situations if people don't want to hand them over to us for free. All these things cost money I'm afraid, and if someone can't afford the donation how would they afford the cost of owning the dog ? |
