You would think the shelter would be happy to get the dog to a home. But I
can't blame them for asking for money.

Funny story................ when I walked into the room where they kept the
cats there was about 25 adult cats in a large inclosure. Each cat was
sitting at attention facing the door all equal distance from each other. I
was amassed how regimented it all looked. Almost as if someone told them
stand up, potential owners coming.

  I actually had to just stand there for a moment sorta in disbelief. Not
one fight, not one cry, not one tail waging, just statues.  Their eyes glued
on me. Wish I had a camera.

that's alot.  Ellie was $60 at Multnomah County (she had clouded eyes they
thought were cataracts and she'd been adopted out 3 times in 18 months.
The eyes were a German Shepherd disease treatable with antibiotics, the Mini
Terror has learned some manners).  Jake was $100 + $10 for Frontline from SW
Washington Humane.  As a puppy he was a little more.   He came with a tote
bag of 'stuff' because it was a special adoptathon where they bring in dogs
from all over so the selection was good.  He'd only been there a few hours.
But yeah, Oregon Humane is $250.  La de dah.  

Usually they have prices on the websites of the individual shelters. I find
Rescue groups to both expensive and PICKY.  I'd avoid Craig's list (I had
visions of my $150 German Shepherd turning out to be stolen shortly after I
fell in love with him).  And the shelters make sure they are healthy, have
all their shots, neutered and give you a certificate for a free vet check.
You don't even get that with a $1000 pet store dog.   And they'll take the
dog back if it doesn't work out.  

No reason you should go without a best friend.  I don't mean to pry, but
some shelters have senior discounts.  

didja wander over to Petfinder?

The only thing our local shelter gives is a bill. Not sure how much but I
seem to remember about 200 bux.
