I paid $700 for a rescue pry from www.gentlegiants.com and she has many,
many dogs that need homes.

When I fenced in my backyard, I thought it would be the perfect time to find
a little pal for Pico the roam the yard with. I did let Pico's breeder know
I was looking around, but I thought it would be a nice idea to find a
rescue, since I don't really want a puppy. I started looking at some of the
online rescue organisation site and I have to admit that I was a little
surprised at some of the prices the rescue orgs are asking.

One of the ads I saw for a "special needs" puppy was looking for $500. I am
not sure if they were trying to recoup some medical costs or what, but that
seems a little steep to me. That is the highest price that I saw, but I have
seen a couple ads for between $400 and $500.

Is this the norm? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Elaine and Pico (looking for a SWFP (single white female Pyr))

There are a lot of costs to getting a rescue ready for a new home but human
nature also seems to value something that costs a lot more than something
that is free so an expensive dog is more likely to be a well thought out
purchase and be a "forever" home for the dog.  This is not to say that your
home would not be a good one for free but it does cut down on the more
casual buyer who really does not know the breed.

We generally try to cover the medical costs of the dog. We then try to add a

bit to help cover other expenses. However, we very often lose money on 
Rescues.
