Our rescue tries to at least break even with dog adoption and the medical bills. Some dogs cost us very little and some cost us way to much..we average our bills out and have a set fee of $350.00. We could not continue with rescue if we did not strive for a break even point.
If you look at any large reputable rescue they are a non-profit organization - their goal is to break even also. If you also look at their web pages you will see they have some dogs with very expensive medical bills.
Trying to be sensitive here, when a person buys a dog from a bad situation it is not the same as a rescue situation...even though both groups are helping a little one..the "rescue" turns around and adopts the dog out. |
Yeah, I can totally understand. But, this dog that I'm speaking about did not have any medical problems. She was just a beautiful young "tiny" that was a surrender. I'm gonna see if I can find her for you and you tell me what you think. You're the rescue expert, and if you say it's legit, then I will believe you!
