Anybody been to a dogs home? puppies are one price, cross breeds another and then pedigree are more expensive.
Whoever ******* is, would probably drown when they went for a shit if they didn't have ears to tell them which is their head.

I think what you do with different re-homing fees is spot on. I know we are having a dilema with a rehoming fee at the moment. Trish has a set rehoming fee for dogs over 8 months (because this is the general age of neutering) of £80, and for dogs under this age or puppies there is an added £50 which is refunded when the new owner produces proof of neutering or spaying, this also HAS to be done within 12 months.

The problem she is having is at the moment we have a spayed 10 month old english bulldog and for a rehoming fee of £80 you know exactly what kind of people who will be after her, the people with $ signs in their eyes.

Keep up the good work

Just to but in it takes alot of time and effort to care for these animals, it also takes more time and effort to advertise and find a good home for them,

One thing i disagree with is people advertising animals for rehome and saying they gonna be free, when they havent even collected the animal - how are they gonna know if its needs any treatment or if it is even suitable to be rehomed,

also it annoys when a thread goes into classifieds say free to good home every man and his dog puts in for it, buit when some one who puts one u[p for rehoming with a fee (even if this is to recouperate some of the costs occured) they can take months to go.

I put free to good home when advertising a re home, true you get lots of PM's but years of experiance can usually sort out the wheat from the chaff. I find this way I can move re homes on a lot quicker. Granted you can never be 100% sure of the new home the animal is going to but there again the fact that people are willing to stump up cash for a re home does not make them any better than these who don't.

Riley it's just the way some people are I'm afraid.
Those who want something for nothing are nearly always the one when the time arises and their animals need veterinary treatment then they either leave it or pass it on to someone who will pay for it. At the end of the day like Steve said earlier if you can't pay a rehoming fee then how can you pay a vet bill!

Dave you have been doing rescuing for many years and in most cases can pick out the wheat from the chaff like you say, and bloody good on you!

I charge a rehoming fee because it's a means to bring some money back into the rescue as we don't get any help via funding from anywhere else or any other body. Plus we only have one income coming in that funds the rescue as well as paying our normal living expenses. In life nothing is for free!!!
