Prima, I feel the same way...I've ranted too....

My dream was to get a siberian husky. I had researched the breed, and knew it was the right dog for me. I wanted that breed, and only that breed. And (waiting for evil glares) I wanted a puppy. Having 2 older dogs that didn't really like other dogs, I didn't want to bring in an adult dog (3 times larger then them mind you) and risk them getting hurt....I thought they would get along better with a pup. Plus this was really *MY* first dog, and well, I was excited to get a puppy. If there was a siberian husky puppy in a shelter in my area, it would have been possible..but there wasn't. I'm sorry for being so heartless as to "buy" a dog.

Guess I shall answer the original point of the thread...

Nebo was $300
Reggie was Free
Smokey was $50

p.s. when I have my own house and can get another dog, I'd like to get a dog from a husky rescue
