          Those cost as much or more than the breeders now. Still recommended, but not cheap or free. I just look at it as a donation for them to keep saving lives. Our most recent was found on the side of the road in a pillow case.

          Every pet I have owned has been a rescue and they each cost me around $60-$200, including various amounts of vet things like vaccinations

          I still had to pay a fee when I adopted mine. It wasn’t much, but I still considered it “buying” my dog.
