However, you must keep in mind that rescues are non-profit organizations that run solely off donations. Every cent they get in goes right back into neutering/spaying, vaccinating, dentals, heartworm/flea and tick preventative, and other various health related costs. This being said, they very well not be able to reimburse you. Whether or not they want to, they simply may not have the funds.
Although I must say that $650 is an extremely high adoption donation, so who knows! Maybe this rescue is better off than most. |
Actually his adoption fee was $675, plus I gave them an extra $30 donation on top of it. And yes, I do realize that it is a non-profit organization which is why I said that I'd be happy if they paid at least half of it. It's no one person's fault - it's just something that slipped by but I don't think I should incur all of the costs. Especially since I've given another $45 donation last weekend to them at a function and I'm in the process of trying to get in to be a member - If I were a member I could help with more fundraiser stuff and possibly help raise additional money with them.
