Another thing I've seen is someone saying they want a Yorkie, but can only afford to pay "X amount," where X is an unrealistically low number.

If that is all they can pay for a dog, then they certainly won't have enough money for things that are required to properly care for the dog -- ordinary stuff like veterinary care, heartworm / flea / worming meds, beds, collars, harnesses, leashes, kennels, x-pens or pet gates, toys, teething chews, etc.

Then, God forbid, if the dogs needs special medical attention above the ordinary preventative care, there is no way they are able to afford that. Or worse, they can't afford a spay and their dog ends up "accidentally" pregnant ... but, of course, they can't afford a spay after the dog gets pregnant either. Then the poor dog has to go through a pregnancy/whelping that they are too young/too small to handle, and no money is available for all the supplies needed for that, much less vet bills for the possible complications of going through with the pregnancy.

Makes my head spin.
