Here is a link to his obituary from the funeral home.

There is also a high payment and contract that you have to go through it is ridiculous. I am still looking for a good dog that will fit my family. So I have no qualms about somebody posting to rehome their dog to a good home.

i agree 100% with this. If you are truely trying to find good homes for pets then you wouldn't be asking $100's to adopt them out. If you are really in it for the pets you would adopt them out to people for free.

Are you offering to pay the medical costs for each of these dogs, spay/neuter, heartworm test and treatment if needed, shots? Thanks! I'll PM you and let you know where to send the monthly checks.

I do not have a problem paying up to 300 dollars for a good dog. It is the waiting that is really getting me irritated. Or you call somebody they got listed as the contact and nobody call you back and by the time they do you had forgotten you even put in for that dog. I would think that the organization would be more quicker at getting dogs adopted so that the expenses do not effect them so much. I know that med, food, and supplies is money, but it seems like they are getting to attach to the animal and really don't want to let go. At least that is my opinion!!!!!!

OK, I agree with you then. I thought you were stating you were against having to pay by what you said in your last message about being free. I can understand the frustration of submitting an application or making a call and not getting a response within a week. I say a week because foster families are volunteers and most work outside of the house and are doing their best to try to keep up. Speaking only for myself, I always try to get back within a day or so but sometimes sickness, work, internet service being unavailable, etc happens. I wish you the best in finding your new companion. I know it will all be worth it in the end.

No, But I have seen where some of the adoption fee are 400+. With that I can buy a new puppy.

Check with Calvert Animal Welfare League. We got our dog from them and they were quick AND wonderful. She was $175, but I don't consider that much, since they had her vet checked and all her shots brought up to date and gave me some heartworm meds. And the dog is wonderful.

if you choose to resuce a bunch of dogs, then YOU are choosing to pay those costs.

I certainly am not going to pay the same amount for a "rescue" that i would for a pure breed puppy. Alot of times thats exactly what "rescues" are charging.

If you dont want to pay those costs, dont adopt them, leave them for others who are willing. why should i pay a middleman?

BTW, i got my last dog at tricounty animal shelter and paid all of the adoption and vet fees, less than 100 to start, ten years ago, but still
