Are you prepared financially and emotionally in case this dog is quite ill and needs lots of vetting, maybe very expensive surgery and intensive follow-up care? You have to be prepared for the worst in case you are faced with it. What would you do if you get her and she needs $7,000 surgery?
Just things you want to think over before your heart takes over. Good luck!!! |
I agree. I've adopted two cats from the shelter, and I know the little Yorkie isn't in the pound but they said she could end up there, and both cats ended up having something wrong with them. The first cat had major dental issues and the 2nd cat had ringworm which spread to our other cat and to my sister and her boyfriend. I would be cautious.
