| I would rather give my baby up for free to someone I was sure would take good care of him, rather than "selling" him for a good price and not being sure if he was being cared for properly. But that's just me. (Not that I would EVER give my boy away, of course)

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I think it's stupid when people obsess over the price they get for their dog moreso than where it's going. If I ever had to rehome my pets (heaven forbid) the price would be the LAST thing I think about! |

| I know when I sold Parker I had orginally paid $700.00 for him and was asking $550.00 so I knew someone really wanted him.. Of course I took much less than the $550 for him because I knew this was a good person. But I dont think its wrong to ask some money for him since I paid more, had all his shots and even had him fixed. I didnt get my money back, but it really didnt matter. I felt he was going to a good home and that was important thing. I could have lied and put him in the paper and got 700-800 but I'm not like that. I wanted to be upfront with who ever got him about his problems. |

| I completely understand getting money for an animal. BUT If your in desperate need and not willing to go down 100.00 than you have a problem. It is not like me asking them to just give the dog away. I offered 400.00 and would go get her and they said no! That is wrong IMHO |

| Is it me or?? I think their theory is that you'll take better care of an animal if you pay for it(and the more you pay, the better you'll treat it). I'd say that's kind of true. If the pet is priced too low you run the risk of a puppy mill or backyard breeder buying it just to get puppies out of it. I know my sister sold her one year old bulldog for $1,000. I would never pay that for an adult dog that wasn't housebroken but someone did. Then they had the special surgery that helps with breathing for bulldogs. A bulldog is a very expensive dog vet wise, she also figured it they couldn't afford to pay for the dog then they'd never be able to afford the vet bills. |

| Maybe they paid 1500 for it and before they give it away for under 500 they will rather keep it. Just because someone is desperate doesn't mean you should try to lowball them and then catch an attitude when they don't fall for it.

| unfortunatley money is what makes the world go round. It is such a shame that animals are exploited through money. What is $100 for the well being of a dog?????? People with money arent always the best pet owners.JMO |
