Why is it so expensive to adopt a dog?
My dog died a few months ago and I was just looking at the local ASPCA website and they are adopting dogs for 300 bucks and puppies for 500 bucks. For those prices why not just buy a dog from a breeder instead of getting a used one?
Why are they so outrageously overpriced? Do they not want people adopting dogs or something?

Humane society is like $90 around here. That usually comes with a voucher for immunizations if they are to young to get them.

He's in Arizona. Half of that is probably taxes and other government bullsh*t.

Maybe I'll ask why it's so much. Seems to be cheaper by all of you.

$500...wow, that's expensive. I think our local pound is around $110 or so.

I have no idea what it costs to adopt here, but we got our puppy for $50 from a breeder (but we had to pay for shots and all that kind if stuff).

They want to make sure you are serious. Some people buy animals for bad reasons.

It's mainly to make sure you are a serious buyer. I support it.
