I completely understand what you're saying Jessica Honestly, until I started doing rescue work, it never woud have dawned on me to ask for money if I needed to rehome my dog. O\n the contrary, it would have upset me to think that anyhone would ask for money for a dog they loved but couldn't keep. But I understand the other side too. Good, caring, responsible people like your mom know how to pick out that family that will provide a loving home. For some others, I would worry that they would be so anxious to get rid of the dog, they'd take the quickest route. Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady. (Like her daughter)
