Adopting a rescue dog

[Ns1]

I volunteer with the rescue now and that $300-500 adoption fee covers a lot. A number of dogs are pulled out of shelters which incur a cost, medical/spay/neuter, some dogs are bought at auctions so that they don't go to backyard breeding operations. One dog may cost $100-200 in support costs, another may cost $ thousands.

A lot of smaller rescues don't have the resources to fund-raise and rely on the adoption fee to cover costs.

all of this.
