adoption fee/price?

[lute]

what was your dog's adoption fee or price?

Beanie's adoption fee was $85

Gracie's breeder just wanted a puppy from her. since i don't think i'll be breeding her since she can't show any more i don't think she's getting a puppy. the breeder says that it's fine because she's showing/breeding only st. bernards now.

Niki- $100.00 from the Humane Society

Bozy-$200.00 from the ARPH

Buddy- $79.00 from rural shelter that was going to kill him.

My foster Pepper was adopted out for $150.00

[shihtzulover850]

Snuggles was $250. My grandparents were good friends with the breeders and got a $50 discount. She was originnally $300. :)

[JenBKR]

Roscoe was $85 :D

[My Peanuts]

We bought Sylvia and she was $650.

Harley's adoption fee was $85

Morty's adoption fee was $200

Jimmy was a rescued stray so he was "free", but since August we are up to about $2,000 in vet bills. The "free" one was the most expensive so far :). He's worth every penny.

[IRescue452]

Pepper was 150 and Autumn was 85.

[lv4dogs]

Nanook was about $65ish and $20 was refunded to me when we got him neutured. That was 15 years ago though, hard to remember exactly without looking at his paperwork.
Raustyk was about the same too, but at the time (still 8 years ago) I think they charged more for most people, cept I volunteered there & she was a special case too.

I do know that currently the local shelters around me charge about $65-$85 if they are NOT fixed, but then you always get about $25ish refunded now when you get them spayed/neutered. They do ALL come UTD on vaccines, heartworm tested, etc...

One of the shelters adopts out ONLY fixed animals, of course they are also UTD on vaccines, microchip, heartworm test & preventative, flea treatment, ID tag, and more and they only charge $120 for dogs and $75 for cats.

[elizabethann]

Fenway was about $300....but he's worth $1 billion!!!

:D

[.sarah]

Mandy's adoption fee was $65

Nova was $300

Luka was adopted for free (the humane society wouldn't let us pay since we volunteer a lot)

Buck was $175 - I got a huge discount for helping out with the litter

[ashleycat]

Charlie was 85 at a rescue

[molucass]

Deebo was $250. We took him back to the breeders house with us when we went to get Jackson for Robin's mom, and they said we owed them some more money because he stayed so small.. :rolleyes: They charge more for their smaller pups.

Skylar was $425. I would have paid 425,000,000 though for her.. I've always wanted a harlequin great dane, and her being a blue harlequin made it even more special.. But Skylar chose me. We went over there to see the puppies and she followed me everywhere I went and then when I picked her up she snuggled up on my shoulder and went to sleep. When Robin tried to pet her she started whining.. Lol.. Skylar is definitely a momma's baby. Her personality is what won me over... I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.

Itty Bitty (Isabelle) was $200.. The woman wanted $250 for the puppies, and we were happy to pay that, but we talked her down to $200.. There is no way I would have left her there regardless of how much they wanted for her. The conditions they kept those poor puppies in was horrible. I would have taken them all if I could have, just to get them out of that place. We reported them to CKC after we got her.

Jackson was $300, but we didn't pay for him. Robin's mom did, and then they were going to get rid of him because she was going to be staying in a rehabilitation center/nursing home, and Robin didn't want to let them do that, so we just took him back home with us.

Annie & Bailee were free.. I got Annie from some people who didn't want her anymore, and Bailee was from an accidental litter Annie had.

[Toby's my baby]

I haven't gotten the chance to adopt YET, but all the dogs and cats at our no kill HS are $50, and most of them have already been fixed.

[k9krazee]

Our animal shelter charges $120 for puppies and $90 for adults. They are all speutered and UTD on shots.

The rescue I got Jack from charges $115.

[BC_MoM]

Mickey's was $151.00 from Funds For Furry Friends (http://www.fundsfurfriends.com)
Molly's was $164.00 from Animal Services (http://www.winnipeg.ca/animalservices)

[Glacier]

The dogs adopted from the Humane Society were all 160. Muskwa was 350 from his breeder. I didn't pay anything for the ones I've adopted from other mushers. At least not to adopt them, I've paid plenty for other things for them!

The cats were 120 from the Humane Society. Polly Paws' bail from the pound was 40 bucks.

[cali]

Happy-Breeder-$200

Misty-Breeder-$100

Blair-Breeder-Free

Ripley-Shelter-$35

Perky-Shelter-$45

[Logan]

Zipper was considered a senior boy when we adopted him. His fee was $75. Our rescue group has recently raised the prices to $200 for a younger dog and $125 for a senior (I think).

[anna_66]

Roxey was $600 from the pet store.

Huney was a "found by us" rescued dog so she was free.

Bon was $700 from the breeder.

[sammy101]

Kodies adoption was $95.
Lucys was around $60,i dont remember the exact price though. :o

[bckrazy]

Deebo was $250. We took him back to the breeders house with us when we went to get Jackson for Robin's mom, and they said we owed them some more money because he stayed so small.. :rolleyes: They charge more for their smaller pups.

Um... wow. That blows. =( Sounds like a very caring breeder to me! xP

Gonzo was free. They just wanted to "get rid" of him. Their loss, our gain! Oh, we did give a $100 donation to BCRNC, but that was not required.

Fozzie was $150 and totalllly worth it. Some man couldn't believe we adopted him for $150, he said he saw mixed puppies that were way less cute at the pet store for over 1 grand. LOL! I had to explain that there are thousands of adorable mix & purebred puppies for the same price in shelters everywhere.

[jackie]

all my pups were 40 euros with everything inlcuded (spay/nueter, vacs, chip).

Oliver was free from the vets, but we had to pay for all the extras.

[binka_nugget]

Kai was $500 (breeder). His breeder is an idiot. Though I don't regret getting him, I'm much more careful about which breeders I go to now.

Kaedyn was $150 (shelter).

My Groenendael pup will be free from an AWESOME breeder LOL.. wolfsoul. Pretty darn awesome since I'll be showing her, doing agility, obedience, flyball and possibly breeding her depending on how she turns out.

[dab_20]

We got a discount for Molli because we got her from a friend. I think we payed 75 dollars and they were selling the other puppies for 135. (she was an 'oops litter')
We payed 100 dollars for Sam. (breeder)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tango was free, as she was from a really good friend of ours. The rest of the pups in her litter were around $50, all were given to other friends though.

Tia was free since she was born at our house.

Winston was $75.00.

Morgan was $200, which is what a dog/puppy costs here from almost all breed rescues, shelters, etc.

My next dog (Toller) will be from a breeder and her initial price is $1500 (unless I decide to co-own, but even then she's going to be a lot).

[Pembroke_Corgi]

We bought Marta for $650, the other three pets were adopted.

Adele's adoption fee was $150, Seine's $90, and Vallis' was $250. When I think about how much my pets mean to me, it's weird to think I "bought" them.

[Cincy'sMom]

Sadie and Cincy were both free. Spot's adoption fee was $30, but I gave the shelter $40

[Chilli]

Frisk, $40 from breeder. He was from an accidental litter.
Ethan, I think, around $50 or more... he was adopted.

[Uabassoon]

Payson was around $90. That incluced shots, neuter, licsence, microchip and one month of pet insurance.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Don't yell at me :rolleyes:
Roxy-shelter-$20
Lily-Breeder-$600

[chocolatepuppy]

Both of my pups were $45.00 from the shelter but that was almost 5 and 6 years ago. :)

[Sevaede]

Willy's adoption fee was $125 from Oasis for Animals in Seattle. Of course, I would have paid any amount for that sweet adorable boy.

[Sevaede]

Adele's adoption fee was $150, Seine's $90, and Vallis' was $250. When I think about how much my pets mean to me, it's weird to think I "bought" them.

I know! It feels weird.

I hate it when people try to impress on me the ideals that I should act "more like a master". I am not my friends master but a companion in life.

[zoomer]

Georgia costed $200
Alaska costed $200

We got Buddy from the pound and Buddy's was a whapping $400! :eek:
But it was so high because we had to say he was our dog so he wouldn't be put to sleep. The fee was so high because he did not have a collar, tags, was a loose pit bull ( :rolleyes: ) and the adoption fee added in.

[wolfsoul]

I got Visa for free, will be getting her puppy for free, and my sheltie puppy for free. LOL.


My Groenendael pup will be free from an AWESOME breeder LOL.. wolfsoul. Pretty darn awesome since I'll be showing her, doing agility, obedience, flyball and possibly breeding her depending on how she turns out.
LOL. Feel special, I wouldn't give just anyone a puppy for free. :p

[.sarah]

Dude, is that how y'all do it in Canada? Here in the US breeders give friends discounts. LOL

[Leslie & Chessies]

Jasmine was $1000 from a breeder.
Indy was $250 from breed rescue.

[wolfsoul]

LOL. My breeder friends pretty much just give their friends dogs for free, but there is usually a catch --- I got Visa for free but have to give one litter back. I will get my sheltie pup for free but his breeder will use him for stud, or if it's a female she may decide to ask for a litter back (I'm hoping for a male though). No catch on my Belgian puppy though, he's all mine to do whatever I want with (as Visa will be after her first litter), though I will let Visa's breeder use him for stud for free.

Yep. My aunt is a Chihuahua breeder and she is who I am getting my Chi from. The catch is that I have to transport another pup to her sis/my grandma. It's all worth it, though. :D

[K9karen]

Cody's original price from a friend's sister's golden's litter (got that :p :D )was $350 but since she realized it was a mixed breed (wrong neighborhood dog got involved) he only cost $50. Mz. Klo was $35 from the SPCA. Regardless of what we all have paid, or how and where we got them, all our sweeties are like a mastercard commercial..priceless!

[molucass]

Um... wow. That blows. =( Sounds like a very caring breeder to me! xP

Yeah, really... I told them what I thought of them when they told me that.. I told Robin that we shouldn't get her mom a pup from them, but ever since we got Deebo, her mom has been wanting a puppy from them. :rolleyes: I wouldn't have wasted my money supporting them again, and I tried to talk her out of it, but you can't change a 65 y.o. womans mind. :p

[molucass]

Oops, I forgot to mention "Marlie" in my original post..

She was free.. We rescued her from the middle of the road before being run over, and are still in the process of trying to find her original owners... But if we are unsuccessful, she will be staying here.. We love her!

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

We paid $750.00 for Bailey.

[Rio and Me]

Rio was free from a shelter because i worked there! they usually charge £50,
Bax was £100 from a breeder!
Ky

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Archie was £80 - a bargain!!

[LoudLou]

Car & Driver to go meet Louie's breeder and whole litter : $300

Crate in which to carry puppy-son home in: $50.00

One Roly Poly little Corgi pup: $575.00

The fact that HE picked me to be his Mama: PRICELESS!
