Tank was free, but getting past his seperation issues along with him being alone for the first time in his life was very trying and expensive. Tanks first month with me he destroyed a $200 crate, $600 kennel, $200 in mini-blinds, $50 screen window, and about $200 worth of clothes. Plus about $500 in vet bills from injuries he got from destroying this stuff. All this was a crash course in learning about dog's and my dog specifically and that was worth it to me, I wouldnt trade it for anything. Everyone that hear's all the things we went through will always say "I bet you will go with a puppy instead of a rescue next time." My reply always suprises them, "Any dog that I have from now on will always be a rescue, in the end all the work makes it worth it."
