I just didn't know if there was another reason for charging so much, if he had an operation or something. I'm not trying to be rude, I promise, I'm just wondering why the price is so high.

Peanut wasn't surrendered to me and he wasn't free. The price I am asking is less than what I have invested in his rescue, neutering, oral surgery and getting his vaccinations brought up to date. I realize there are dogs for much less in shelters but I wasn't given a discount or low cost neuter and Peanut was chriptorchid...he also required oral surgery with stitches and not just a cleaning as he had a very bad abccessed/infected tooth from his puppy teeth not being removed when they should have been long before he was 1 1/2...I also wasn't given free vaccinations. I did ask if there was a discount available since I rescued and planned to rehome him but there wasn't since I don't belong to an official rescue organization so I did the right thing at my own expense and had those things done for him before trying to find his new family.
I have nothing at all against shelter dogs but they get their dogs for free and their services are provided at a discount or for free or paid for by donations from the public so they are able to adopt them for less...which is great.
I saw Peanut was in need and I acted...much the same as some members on YT would have done. If that makes me wrong then I guess I was wrong but no matter what anyone says...I don't regret doing it.
