vixie was $650 from a breeder
dodger was $600 from a breeder
charlie was a $500 "rescue" we got him from a puppymiller who was closing down and selling her stock, he was worth every penny.
Our closest shelter is 3 mins from my house, its $200 for a mixed breed adult, $300 for a mixed breed puppy, $400 for a mixed breed from puerto rico (sato) and $500+ if they get "purebred" dogs in :yikes: i think there taking advantage.
its anything from $50-$200 for cats and kitten
and they wonder why there always full, and there constantly complaining that the animal welfare has a "higher turnover", not a suprise when ALL their dogs and puppies go for $50.
i worked there for sometime, there a no kill which i LIKE, but they also have about 1/4 of the kennels filled with DANGEROUS and highly agressive dogs, because even those dogs are no kill. one even attacked on of the workers, the latch wasnt closed properly he got out and latched onto this man under the arm, then when the man fell the dog let go and the man moved and the dog got under his other arm, almost 300 stitches for the poor guy and 4 years later the dogs still sitting in a kennel growling and snarling and lunging at everyone that walks past. luckily the guy recovered and quit the shelter.
I dont understand why a dog thats obviously that dangerous towards people is taking up a much needed space in the shelter.
but yeah sry kinda sidetracked there.
