crossing my fingers for you!

We just adopted a dog on Monday from the Humane Society
Last Thursday, I saw a picture of the most handsome, adorable dog, I put in an application right away, but had to wait until the next available appt on Monday to see if he would still be available. All weekend, our family prayed that no one else adopted him. When I arrived for the appt, I asked, "Is Hank still here?", and the volunteer said, "yes, this way", I literally started crying tears of joy. Hank has stolen our hearts and home!

@SeaMaiden and @MandyG06 - Thank you for giving these sweet pups good homes!

@MandyG06 - What a beautiful picture of your children- two legged and four legged (including the one peeking out the door!) I hope your kitties "welcome" Hank to "their" home! LOL! He is a lucky boy to have found his place with you!

I am sure the odds are against me with all the people looking for dogs, but, I went ahead and submitted my application. It was for an English Setter. I will follow up if I hear anything back. The cost to adopt is $600.

Wow, that is really a high adoption fee. Even for a problem or a needy dog which has been spayed, shots, etc. is no more than $150. We are in a big city & your price just astounds me. Also this price is for any breed of dog. Hopefully you can get the price lowered.

@MandyG06 Hank is adorable and so are your kids!

@SeaMaiden I hope you get the dog.

I think it depends on where you are and what your local rescue center charges. My sister-in-law paid nearly $400 for a little cross between a red dachshund and Chihauhau, about 18 months old.

Usually, the older dogs were less, but not by a lot. She still considered it money well-spent, since we know the rescue centers spend a lot more than that on caring for the animals brought in.
