 Income versus Dogs?
I know a family on welfare who own a Yorkie as well as a pit bull and a poodle --- all purebreds.
Being on social assistsance should not be an issue! If it is possible, and someone wants a dog, their income should not bar them. I am on a disability-a very low income-and have my Yorkshire Terrier. I am hoping to acquire another as a playmate for her, but the cost of a puppy is more than I receive in a month. As far as maintenance, I have an understanding vet-he knows I will pay albeit slowly, and in emergency, do have family who will help. I do the grooming and basic care myself; she eats excellent dog food-less than $12.00/month.
To me, having a dog is essential; she is why I get up in the morning. |
