excuse me, but you may want to re-read my email. No where did I say anything about being upset with them. I work with that group through the other rescue groups quiet often. I have not said anything here to incite any rudeness against me. BUT, this particular rescue is one of the ones we were previously talking about with the too high adoption cost. I am here in KY, where you originally stated you work with them. I know what they charge in these parts and I know I can easily get a full bred chi here for the same or less than I could adopt from this group. I do not know what they charge in MO. But I have a friend in St. Louis that works closely with rescues...I'll have her to compare for me.
I do not have a problem with your rescue. The discussion we were having here on this chihuahua group, was about the rescue adoption fees being too high. The rescue groups I work with are trying to reverse that trend and bring the cost of adoption fees down low enough so that chis can actually be pulled and adopted and not PTS. I do not think I said anything rude to you, so why would you want to come back rude to me?

I know they need money to run the shelterbutyou would think it would be better to adopt out atasmaller price and get the dog a home that chargesomuch and have to destroy some. We have a chi rescuehere that seems kind of expensive(to me) as well.
