[quote=Anonymous]I start this vent by stating, I totally understand that many people charge a rehoming fee to make sure it's someone who 1) can afford to properly care for the animal and 2) keep sickos/weirdos from taking a free animal.   But, why the hell should you, the person who can't care for the animal for whatever reason, recoup any of your costs?  I don't care if you're giving me gold embossed dog food bowls or diamond leashes.  You want me to relieve you of the responsibility of a living creature you promised to love forever, ease your mind, AND pay you back a portion of what you paid for the animal and all it's belongings?  Give me a break - you should be paying me the rehoming fee!

In my world, it would be much better if rehoming fees were done as donations to the local humane society.  You can't keep your dog?  Then charge me a $200 donation to whatever animal shelter you choose.  Make me bring a cashier's check payable to them, or show proof of an equal donation.  You get nothing.[/quote]
