In Atlanta if you take a dog to a local research center (the places where they put cosmetic's in dogs eyes to see how it will affect them, etc. etc.) they pay you $50. It is SO important for people down here to charge at LEAST $100 to re-home a pet. This is so that in no way can some sicko take the pet they just adopted from you and give it to research to make a quick $50. If you advertise Free to Good Home or anything like that it is very likely you just signed the contract for your pet to go to research. We have a thing here called Craigslist where you can advertise pets for adoption. Local sicko's browse that daily looking for free to good home adds and promise to give them great, loving homes. They then turn around and make a quick $50.

It's heartbreaking, but true. Someone can appear wonderful but in reality they aren't.
