What do you mean by hundreds of dollars?
My Bogey is from a shelter and I paid $65 and was returned $40 after proof of neuter. My Doodlebug was $300 but he was a puppy. Several hundred is really a deal when you consider a rescue come to you fully vetted and spayed/neutered. There are also rescues that are not reputable and are brokers or breeders in disguise looking to make money off unsuspecting people. Make sure that you check their non profit status. Good luck with your search.
