if you want a small breed dog from the pound just let me know. The oklahoma city shelter is FULL of them. everytime i go there are SO many small breeds that nobody adopts. Then they have a 50/50 chance of moving on to the adoption room. I have seen a yorkie on one visit. He has serve mange and that is why he was going to a rescue.
As for rescue's charging an arm and a leg, not all of them are in it for money. My little Lily that i rescued came from a puppy mill. she has alot of behavioral issues and her "donation fee" was only $75. The lady i got her from turned down 10 people before i came along. She will not adopt dogs that have special needs to anyone. I do believe that there are many rescues out there who are just trying to help the animals. i think that people need to realize how much it actually costs just to spay/neuter, utd on shots, and any other medical attention. it adds up fast! |
