https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Adopting-our-foster-pup-and-cost-of-spaying/m-p/2856#M912 <P>I was trying to respond to Flunking Fostering 101 but it wouldn't let me. We fostered two pups this fall and went 1 and 2. One found a wonderful home and one we have decided to adopt. We are very happy and she is a wonderful fit with our family. My husband adores her.</P> <P>My question is this. The rescue group that we volunteer for is going to charge us their standard adoption fee $175. This includes shots up to date, spay/neuter and microchip. I was talking to the director about having her spayed by our vet and had decided to do that because frankly I know our vet uses a better quality anesthesia. I understand they have to save costs at the rescue, I do.</P> <P>But we can't justify paying our vet when we could have her spayed for the $175 we are going to pay. Does that make sense? </P> <P>Not really sure what I am asking, I am just struggling with this decision. We do not have the extra money to spend and use our vet.</P> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:21:07 GMT lisaebk 2010-12-13T00:21:07Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Adopting-our-foster-pup-and-cost-of-spaying/m-p/2856#M912 <P>I was trying to respond to Flunking Fostering 101 but it wouldn't let me.
