for example, the volunteers who are the people usually helping these dogs, do it out of having a big heart and most dont receive any income, nor do they expect it. In fact they usually (me included) use their own money and/or graft hard to raise funds doing things like microchipping, spay/neutering, worming, vets bills, boarding kennel fees etc etc etc. usually rescues dont have their own kennels, and its not cheap to keep tem in there.
the fee is to try and put a little back into the rescue pot as they receive no funding or handouts etc. and THAT IS WHY they ask for a contribution or some specify EXACT amounts which in my opinion, can be too high considering theres a recession going on right now.

no no no you've completely got the wrong end of the stick here - i wouldnt mind paying for a sick wounded dog in need of a home.
i was just wondering really since its not explained, animal welfare is one of the many things i stand up for, im training to be an animal cruelty officer or generally to work with animals.
so try read into comments first before replying like that please
i actually rescue animals & the rescue centres we use dont require a fee, thats why i asked
we also save animals from cruel situations first-hand so in no way would i be so superficial as not to rescue a dog due to it's price
