How much did you pay?

    • Gold Top Dog
      Kiara(the alaskan husky in my avatar) was 50 dollars at the local shelter.She had been brought back 3 times by previous people and all her shots were good for a year.She was also due to be put down on the monday after we took her home.this was 2 years ago.

    Kovu,(another husky mix)was 65 dollars at the same shelter..Also due to be put down.

    And last was Kuruk.He was brought to us and given to us for free. 2nd owners had him less than 2 weeks and the first owners paid 1500 dollars for him .they had him until the age of 4.5 months,but had no clue as to how he needed to be raised.

     My Rainbow boy Rebel,the Golden Retriever,was given to me as a puppy by a girlfriend,while his GR mate Abbey was 300 dollars.

    Xerxes was $700 from an incredible breeder.  The return on the money was a lifelong friendship with the breeder and other PH people, as well as the warmth, companionship and love of a 4 legged companion.
     
    Now the cost of the repeated trips to dog shows to show her how her boy has grown?  I can't even begin to say.  But it is worth every penny to me, to Xerxes and to everyone else involved (plus Xerxes gets to hang out with his sibs and his mom and aunties.)

    Loki was $250 from "byb"--although I hate to use that term because I really love the family and they produced amazing pups from two litters.
     
    Odin was $100 from shelter, which included shots, neutering and microchip.
     
    When they are bad I always tell them that they're my discount doggies. [:D]

    Max  -  $40  adoption fee from shelter
                 $60   for neuter
                 $25   for a bath (he'd been in the shelter for 10 days)

    Total:   $125 out the door - from shelter to vet to home - and worth every penny.[:)]

    First dog, a lab mix- $0. We got her from a lady who was about to turn her in to the shelter, where they would have put her to sleep right away.

    Millie- actual cost $75, but my mom gave them $100.
    Max- $75
    • Gold Top Dog
    Cassidy- about $20, both parents were purebreds, breeding quality, but we got her from the breeder for that amount because it was an accidental breeding. I think they just sold them for the amount the puppy shots cost.

    Mirelle, purebred Lab, didn't cost me anything because I'm not keeping her, just raising her for a service dog organization.

    Zoe, a mini dachshund originally purchased from a pet store (original owners), was $150 from the SPCA where I got her.
    • Gold Top Dog
    Grady was $150 adoption fee.
     
    Aspen was the cost of a house sitting job but worth EVERY penny I'm not earning by losing the job.

    Tyson - Gorgeous American Pit Bull Terrier

    $150 To his previous owner -- who could no longer care for him -- to bring him from VA to NY.


    Is that him in your avatar??
    I've been to tell you that if he is, he's ABSOLUTELY beautiful.
    I love pit eyes and ears.

     
    Yup, that is him....
    I have a feeling that a lot of my photos have gone missing (because I deleted them from the host site) so be on the lookout for plenty more!

    amelia was adopted from a local rescue org for $250.

    sydney was adopted from the local humane society for $85
    • Gold Top Dog
    Angel-$800
    • Gold Top Dog
    Pofi - mixed breed of unknown origin now dubbed a Great Lakes Counter Surfer (Great Lakes because he was dumped in a State Park not far from Lake Superior at 5 weeks of age - counter surfer because, well, you've seen his long legs, right?): $0.
     
    Mia - Golden Retriever mix obtained through local rescue - $290 for adoption fee, micro chip registration and I had cash, plus I threw in another $10 for annual membership - she was also fully up to date on shots and recently spayed.  And I think we are probably at about $500 in costs to deal with a post spay infection or reaction to suture material, but there is light at the end of that tunnel!
