I have adopted dogs from the humane society and it did not cost us over $150.00. Why would they have the cost so high?. that people can not afford to take a chance on an older dog.i know it cost them alot to recue. I donate to these causes all the time. But a loveing home is cheaper than keeping them in the shelter. Don't you think |
They charge because of the care, which you already mentioned, but I think I remember reading on one site (when I was going to rescue) that they mentioned "If you can't pay the $350, you won't be able to afford the rest of the care for the dog" or something on the lines of that, just worded different. I see your in Michigan, what yorkie rescue did you go to? I was checking out one in Indiana.
