Just saw the post and thought that I can shed some light on the subject.
As most of you know I do rescue for Shih Tzu and Furbaby Rescue and used to be with another group that will remain nameless. There was a big difference on how each group does adoption fees. The group I used to be with used to charge $800 for a yorkie puppy and the smaller they were the more money they cost for example my little guy I paid 500 for him he was two with a broken leg. Of course I didn't care about the price because he is my little guy. I didn't like how they practiced there rescue work which is why I left. The rescue I'm with now is completely different. We take in over 20 pups a week and adoptions fee are straight forward 100-150 for seniors,
300-350 for 1-10 yrs and 500 for puppies. These prices are set which I think is fair. All dogs are 100 percent vetted. We take in dogs that come from all kinds of conditions. We had some vetting for mill babies that exceeded $3000 for each pup. |
