[quote=Anonymous]So I foster for a rescue and also work with shelter dogs. Shelters feed the dogs and that’s about it. Some might give vaccines if the dogs are puppies or meds if the dogs are super sick. But not much else and it costs a shelter to keep a dog there a lot. Rescues commit to spaying/neutering their dogs. Have you seen how much that is? Hundreds. Also they vaccinate every puppy and unvaccinated dogs. The heartworm and flea preventatives also aren’t cheap. That is a minimum of what every rescue does for every dog. If they are sick, well costs go up. Many rescues don’t include food in this since fosters generally pick that up, like myself. I have even paid for some medical bills for my fosters because I felt bad for the rescue being short on funds. A typical foster fee should be about $500 for young dogs and no the rescue doesn’t profit from that. They make money with donations. This is why shelter dogs can be free and rescue dogs have a fee.
