Selling is the key word right?

Selling or adopting out either way you can usually tell who's just trying to make a quick buck by how much they charge. Scars charges $250 which includes up to date shoots/vet check, microchip, and spay/neuter. I also believe Taliz and Dogspaw give discounts to animals from rescue organizations.

Exactly. A $250 adoption fee is nothing.

I hope that tencats can get the dog back for a proper rescue. If not, I doubt I will be able to get the dog. If anyone can, let me know, what is the price? I can definitely foster this dog.

Amen.

My wife breeds birds and only gives them the best foods and care. It is only a hobby for her as she spends more money on the birds than she makes while some breeders she knows sell off their'' bad ''birds without disclosing anything or do inbreeding which causes problems. So it all depends on the individual person and if they are doing it for the passion or profit.
