Thank you for ensuring this baby made it home to their person.
I agree about really considering the financial commitment of a pet prior to filling the want for one
Especially since this is for your daughter its a wobderful oppertunity to teacher her how to earn money for want and how to save.
Not just for the adoption but for geberal health care, emergency funds monthly costs in paracite prevention grooming feeding and purchasing dog beds bowls cloths toys etc.
My kids save $500 in an emergency fund, bought ecerything from harness to leash to toys crate bed clotgs and carry bag vefore we got our Scoobers from rescue.
I think we spent about 400 on his supplies they earned like 170to and I matched it plus 30 and they had to have prepaid the innitial vet visit and read some basic dog books,oh we had already looked into puppy classes too.
It was about 6a months later we got Scoobers...fun surprise for us he was listed as a she...everything we had bought was pink on pink...thankfully he outgrew it all within a couple months...he was also supposed to under 10I pounds he's almost 20....surprises happen.
Scoobers was also a hot mess a pup mill dumpee at the pound...he is virtually completely rehabilitated.
All dogs are acessed at pounds and rescues prior to adoption, special needs should and most likely will be specified |
