I honestly and am totally gobsmacked by that last comment about why do u have to pay etc......

my blood is boiling!!!! i dont want to create a problem at all, but thats really does show how little people know or understand about poor rescue dogs and the rescue world.

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.
