What do you all think about a rescue charging 50000 for a dog and the dog has some issues2007-11-25 2:51:22Answers:

Some of these so-called rescue places are just people out to make a quick buck. They have deals with local shelters that enable them to get the most desirable animals at little or no cost and they turn around and sell them for profit. Fortunately, not all rescue centers are like this, but it does happen.

$500 is a rather large adoption fee. What issues does this dog have? Many times, adoption fees are a stable amount, but for certain dogs, if they required expensive medical attention, they will increase the adoption fee.

$500 sounds quite steep, but it's THEIR call. if it's too high, no one will adopt, and they'll have to lower their prices. I would not spend $500 on a rescue dog when i could go somewhere else and spend $200 or $250.

I'm sure the money is going to be turned around to help another dog. Just make sure the place is reputable and you are comfortable with the dog. You don't want to be bringing the dog back to the rescue in a couple hours (days, weeks) because of it's problems ... that will just make it worse for the dog.

$500 may be for the food, veterinary care, etc for however long he's been there.

I find most of my rescues have issues, but thats why we rescue them, to have them get a better life, no matter their problems

Also, purebred rescues charge more than regular rescues.. I'm not sure why they do that tho.

Yeah, that's a bit high for an adoption fee!
