I think a lot of people still don't understand where the puppies at the places that have "30 or more different breeds" come from. They don't realize that the $500-$1000 "purebred" dog with papers might be badly bred by someone more interested in the money than the long term health of the dogs. 2 Punk Dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373806920604586043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077476675089685414.post-27004003158628081312012-08-23T14:55:20.086-07:002012-08-23T14:55:20.086-07:00I don't know how anyone can say shelters charg...I don't know how anyone can say shelters charge to much, considering how long some animals are in shelters and in that time they need feeding. Plus before you adopt they're vaccinated, spayed or neutered and health checked. And the shelters have to rely on donations to survive.<br /><br />The expensive dogs are the ones off puppy farms who need a lifetime of medical treatment.Lakeland adventures with Lola and Milohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726197931285139721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077476675089685414.post-14909887735795292662012-08-23T12:30:55.824-07:002012-08-23T12:30:55.824-07:00At 6 months old, the shelter wouldn't let June...At 6 months old, the shelter wouldn't let June come home with us until she was spayed. We got a free laproscopic spay with her adoption fee. That would easily have cost us 3x what the adoption cost. Plus, the shelters here give coupons for a first "well animal" check up free, as long as you take the dog in within a month or so of adopting them.<br />Definitely a better deal than a "free to good home" puppy.ErinShanendoahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893140867188279787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077476675089685414.post-11003759763687220782012-08-22T14:14:49.079-07:002012-08-22T14:14:49.079-07:00Score one for the punks!

Yep, Hades!
