Free or For Sale?

[critter crazy]

well If I had absolutely no choice and had to get rid of one of my pets, I first would see if I could place my pet with a family member or close friend, If that was not possible I would give the animal away, but with strict reference checks. I am very protective of my animals, and would only want them to go to the best home. I had to do this with my horses this summer. I did not charge, but did extensive checks, and placed all 3 of my horses in the same home, and a great home it was. There was also a contract written up, that if their current owner could no longer take care of them, I would be involved in the re-homing process if I could not take them back myself. I would do the same thing for any one of my animals!

I would never get rid of any of my pets but if I absoulutly had to they would be FOR SALE or at least a small fee of an adoption fee because people who really want and care about the pet will pay.....

Well if I had to give a pet a new home I would..

Ask a pretty good price for it this way I would know the buyer is going to want this animal and take care of it well because they payed well for it,If this person did realy want a pet for free I would ask about the vet stuff and what kind of pets they have because of course I would not want a bird homed with a cat.

I don't plan on giving my pets a new home.

Thats not nescesarrily true! I have seen many people go and pay 500-1,000$ for a pet and either do nothing with it, or beat it or kill it! Just because some one pays money for something dosent mean they realy care! I would rather give my animal away to someone I know I can trust, then take money from someone i dont know from adam! But this is just my opinon!

uhh..NEITHER! my pets aren't going ANYWHERE!! ever!

Never ever, under any circumstances would I give away my dogs. I would list them as for sale. If they feel they connected with my dogs, they would be willing to be pay $125+.

I would do a homecheck, and a vet check.

But it doesn't matter anyway - my dogs are staying with me forever.

Firstly, my babies aren't going anywhere, but this is a poll just for fun so I will answer...

If I had to get rid of one of my pets, I would first see if a close friend or relative could take it, or at least someone I know has a good home for a pet and would be a great owner. But if I did not know the person well, or not know them at all, I would sell my pet. I would never give away for free. I would put a reasonable price on it and not go any lower. If a person truly wanted my pet and loved it when they met it, they would be willing to pay the reasonable price. If they ask for too much lower I probably wouldn't because that would make me wonder if they would go cheap on my pet or not have enough money for vet bills and other needed things. I would also ask about the living environment and other related things before I sold my pet.

if i must give up a pet i would definatly ask for an adoption fee. if you can't afford a small adoption fee you can't afford a much more expensive vet bill when the dog gets hurt. i normally ask for $50 for my rescues. on occation i've "givin away" a pet. for example i didn't make Corinna pay the $50 adoption fee for Tyson...hell, she and her husband drove across the country to personally pick up their boxer boy.
