[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO these rescues are abusing animals for their own personal financial gain. It’s terrible. They take the adoptable animals and charge exorbitant fees and fundraise. They pay themselves a nice salary above what shelter workers make and pay their mortgage as an expensive. They rely on volunteer fosters and volunteers for labor. When they can’t get enough dogs that will yield their $700 fee they buy them at puppy mill auctions furthering the demand for puppy mill dogs.

It’s a terrible racket and really a violation of non profit and animal welfare rights that should be shut down. [/quote]

Yes, the animal pulled from a shelter and placed in a home, with an owner who can afford to care for the dog, is being "abused."  :roll:  I'm sure the dog is very sad in its fuzzy bed, with its treats and plush toy, that you don't like the funding model of the organization that placed the dog there.

There are multiple threads in this forum about how expensive vet services are and how people can't afford routine vet care. Posters are giving numbers like $800 for a visit with tests. Posters are saying they'll euthanize instead of treat. But the rescue that a) pays for a bunch of vet care and b) wants the dogs to go to viable homes, is not supposed to charge an adoption fee?

You do not sound credible, you sound petulant. Sorry candy isn't a nickel anymore either.
