After two weeks I notice people were like oh I can't wait till he makes babies Ok so I decided to keep him till his neutered. I am getting attach but I know if the right person comes I will be happy for him. I don't know what I will think 3 months from now after his neutered if to keep him or keep looking for a home. But I want to be prepare in case he does find a good home.

To the OP thanks for the thread

There are a lot of good reasons to ask a fee when you rehome. First there are a lot of people that broker. If you are giving away a dog they could resell for a profit ie on CraigsList, for medical research , used for fighting "bait", cheap addition to a bad breeder, and of course as simple as paying to make a commitment. Even if you rehome on YT you NEVER know what the true intentions of others.
