People truly do not understand the cost of keeping a dog. or they refuse too.
i could go on for longer lol but I better stop ranting. |
I agree. I understand that everyone has a budget and sometimes when looking for a pet, you want to stay within that price range and I respect that. That's what I did, however, it doesn't make sense to ask for a dog for free... If you can't pay $200 for a rehoming fee then how can you pay $100 for vaccinations/vet visits/dog food/supplies/etc? The cost of a yorkie does not end with how much you pay for it... you have to consider what kind of food you'll feed it, chew toys, training supplies, grooming brushes, toys, crates, etc. In the end, if you say you have no money then DON'T GET A YORKIE. They require more $$$ in terms of grooming and attention and care. I'm not saying that you HAVE to buy all that stuff but I don't like when people post boo-hoo sob stories on Craigslist for a free yorkie and they don't know the first thing about how much care a yorkie requires.
