Not sure but I think Stormy was talking about the verbiage, not the price.
Adopting makes it seem as if you are adopting a child which gives the
ARISTAS more ammunition. A dog is livestock and should be bought and sold.
Yes, the price is very high for ‘rescues’ and shelters (I also take umbrage
that every dog that comes through a shelter or a ‘rescue’ is ‘rescued’ – the
term rescue has now become a catch-all to excuse very bad behaviour and
little training on the part of ‘rescued’ dog owners – I know not all but a
great majority of pet people will say I rescued this dog and he has ‘issues’
so I can’t do ‘this or that’ with him).

With that fee, it is no wonder rescues have a hard time placing dogs. My
daughter can give a dog a wonderful home but cannot spare $500 up front!
So she went to a breeder and got one for free!

I think the inquiry was for rescue. Rescue uses words like "adoption fees"
and when they sell you the crate and first bag of dog food you're close to
or over $500.

Adoption fee????
Adopt?
When did we start using those words for selling and buying.
