Again, I do not know what was said that has gotten you so defensive, but to me, $300 for a rescue is outrageously high, but that is my opinion. I see chis being PTS all the time in pounds. Adoption fees in a pound are almost always less than $100 and include that same spay/neuter, shots, often microchips, ect.
Again, I repeat...no one said I was ticked off at them...where do you get that?????

Was: How many dogs do you have? besides our fee only is 300.00 or less depending on what kind of condition they are in when we get them from breeders and horders and the owners who dont care. but the fee covers the shots and the spay or nuter plus any other medical blasfamy that they have. i dont know who you dealt with or why they ticked you off but if you check there are two different chihuahua rescues named chihuahua rescue we just have the usa on our name. and we take care of our chis . and you dont think breeders charge a lot. we love the chis just as much as anyone else and everything we do is by donation and out of our pocket only.

I am afoster for a rescue group and we are all overthestates. we charge a fee depending on the vettingtheyhad to have to save them from the puppy millsandbreeders. ours include the spay/nuture and shotsutd.but we also work with the adoptive parents to makeiteasier fro them to get the adoption fee [EMAIL PROTECTED], "marsha"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote:>> > I couldn't agree with you more.It hasgotten to the point that it is a lot cheaper togo buya full blooded registered dog of any breed thanto tryto "rescue" a mixed breed!

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.
