Re: The Myth of the Free Kitten/Puppy
We have a dog that my husband got from a husky rescue nine years ago. She's the best dog in the world and he didn't have to go through that puppy stage of peeing on everything and chewing up stuff. (I know, I must sound terrible, but I prefer older dogs.) Her vet bills are about $400 a year for all of her shots. Then, she gets an upset tummy or an allergy. We actually got pet insurance and pay about $50/ month. She eats a ton and we buy her treats, too. She's a great part of the family, but she isn't free! We've thought about adopting another dog, but can't do the expense right now, even if the adoption is free.
