RESCUE'S FEES TOO HIGH
The assumption that Rescue is a business, or that Rescuer's make a profit from suffering, could not be further from the truth. While not all Rescue Groups are created equally, regardless of the size or breed of dog you are looking for, most will ask for a donation to adopt ranging from $100 to $300 dollars.
If a Rescue Group takes in a healthy pet that costs a minimal amount to make ready for adoption, the "profit" from that animal is applied to the vetting costs of the many others who are not as fortunate. When a dog comes into Rescue, funds must be spent on neutering/spaying, vaccinations, (Rabies, DHLPP, Bordatella), screening for HW and a fecal. Vetting expenses on a healthy animal can run as high as $175 and more with the larger breeds. The truth is the majority of found/stray/rescues DO require additional vetting. Worming is almost always a necessity. Rescuers treat HW positive animals, pay to set broken bones, to treat illnesses and injuries---providing treatment the original owners either didn't choose to or could not afford. Rescuers may do whatever is necessary, and it can often take several months to return an animal to good health. It is not unusual for the costs of this care to run from $450-$1000 per dog. Most Rescuers do this without benefit of financial backing or resources, choosing to spend money in saving lives, rather then on themselves. I do not know of any Rescue group that makes a profit, or comes anywhere close to breaking even.
