Even shelter dogs that are adopted out around Christmas time many times end up back at the shelter in January. It happens all year long but Christmas time increases the numbers. The Christmas season many times incites people to make unwise shopping decisions and puppies are one of the causalities way too often.
It's not judging. It is a fact. |
That whole payment plan for a puppy kills me... So now you have a couple hundred a month payment for the puppy and since I love mine more then words can express food is around $15 a month, treats hmm $20 a month, baby food and carrots another $10 maybe, to walk into our vet is $250 if I am lucky god forbid he gets hurts or really sick, med's another $30 a month and grooming is $35 every other month and the third month $45. If you can't pay cash then how can you manage all the other cost??? Yea I could get cheap grocery store treats and food but then my vet bills are going to go up I bet and yes I could groom him but I am blessed with the income to not have to
