I read the $300 rule that's why I was asking for clarification as I didn't want to break the rules by posting a link. And, I'm new here and didn't want to step on anyone's toes.
I also know of several very legitimate rescues (some yorkie rescues and some not) who do ask $300 and a little more for some of their rescues - not all but some. I just thought with the economy that that amount might be raised in the rules to benefit the legitimate rescue groups and the pups in need. The dogs I wanted to post really do need homes and no one would be profiting from it except for the dogs who would be able to take their place in the foster home.
So, if the adoption fee is less than $300 can I post the link in the rescue forum? There's an adorable senior whom I would love to share with everyone and hopefully find him the perfect home.
And, the one thing that really has me confused is if the adoption fee for a rescue is $300 or more they can't be posted, but this forum allows the sale of yorkies - is there a dollar limit on that or does the $300 limit apply there, also. Are the breeders who sell here screened to make sure they are reputable and breeding to better the breed? If there's that big a concern that the rescue group is a legitimate group and not brokers out to make a buck wouldn't the same hold true for those out and out selling yorkies? (I am definitely not against reputable breeders - I'm close friends with several show breeders of another toy breed - I'm just not used to them using a forum to sell their dogs - it's all about the rescues.)
Not trying to ruffle any feathers, just trying to understand and see if this forum is a good fit for me.
