I can understand why the cost can be so high when you adopt from a rescue. As I said in an earlier post, they do have a lot of overhead in vet care, vacinations, neutering/spay, transport, ect. I can understand that. But what does realy irk me about many breed specific rescues is the way they snatch a dog up as soon as it hits the shelters without first giveing the "normal" person the chance to adopt it from the shelter. I truly believe rescue funds could be much better spent focusing on those dogs who do not have a chance. Leave the pure-breds in the shelter untill their time is up....giving someone a chance to adopt at shelter fees. THEN, if time is up and no one has adopted THEN rescue. JMO Marsha
