kudos to you for willing to adopting the pup, however you should know what you are getting yourself into, Dentals can be Extremely expensive and each city is different I imagine Toronto is expensive. My sister had estimates well over $500.00 to just clean her yorkies teeth in Long Island NY. I have also seen threads here on the high price of dentals. If I was you I would ask the lady if you could take the dog to a vet for an evaluation, and perhaps if she hears how much it will cost, she could contribute something. It would be much better to know what you are getting into before bringing the dog home and find out you will have vet bills in the thousands. This is why often it is better to adopt from a rescue group since most of the vetting is done prior to adoption. While you are doing a good thing you need to make sure you are financially able to deal with might be coming you way. A lot of vets will do a free consult on a serious dental. Good luck I know you are in a tough spot
