Good Luck on finding your babies a wonderful loving new home...if not, send them to me.  |
It is also important to realize too that around this area (I am less than 1 hour away from OP), everything cost less, even the vet visits. I have been shocked when people on here post costs from shots, spay/neuter, etc. I recently took my guy in to be fixed, and he had a tooth cleaning while under anesthia. I paid less than $100 for both, $45 for the neuter and $30 for the teeth cleaning (just wanted to add that it was from an awesome, well-qualified vet).
Around this area $450 is actually quite a bit for a dog (worth it IMO), and honestly it would go as far as asking 700-900 in a place with a higher standard of living, last year the median income for a household in this city was $26,533. A vet in this area obviously couldn't charge what larger/higher-cost of living areas charge, because with this demographic he would go broke. Cost of a puppy and cost of care is realitive based on the standard cost of living for the area.
So said all that just to say this... I am sure that the OP will find the perfect homes for her babies, and would never let someone take them, who wouldn't give them the proper care. (Sorry for the social/history lession on the Upper Cumberland area
).
