Paying for puppies, and kitties :) Options

[none345678]

How much do you think is too much for a dog or cat? Cat's are easy to find free/cheap esp around here, but it seems harder to find dogs.

I went to some pounds and their dogs were anywhere from $200-550. I just never new pound dogs were that much.

What's the most expensive pet you own/know? Anyone have a pure bread?

All these places were in Joliet, IL.

One place did have regular adoption fees/prices, but just had no puppies for the most part. The other ones must have been making bank off these dogs though.

The cost of the animal's spay/neuter is included in the adoption fees, in addition to money needed to keep those shelters operating so that irresponsible animal owners (like treschicgeek's neighbor whose dog had puppies) can dump them there when they can't illegally sell them to people.

I am more set on shelter dogs

I can assure you the dead cats weren't necessary. And the specific shelter I am referring too were pricing the dogs them selves $250+. The fees are not included until you start going through the adoption process.

There was really just one shelter that seemed really sketchy.

Point of the buckets of dead cats pl0x.
