i also find it refreshing that the lady was honest with you and offered to reimburse the plane ticket. she could very well have kept the info to herself, so that says a lot about where HER heart is.
also, you really never do know what may happen (health issues) with ANY puppy you get. you could pass up this puppy and end up getting another one that has issues just as bad if not worse - depending on how honest the breeder or foster parent is.
this is a decision only you can make, unfortunately, and i don't envy you. i know that i couldn't personally afford to look at a 2,000 dollar vet bill right now, but that's a risk we all take when having a pet (much like a child). the pup i DO have already could very well be diagnosed with an illness (or whatever) that would be very expensive to correct. then again, she may live to be 20 and never have a problem.
what does YOUR GUT tell you?
go with it. |
