If you paid $190 for him, you bought him :-) from a bad place and gave him a good place. There are SOME groups that are getting dogs to sell in order to stay in "business." Not asking for donations to cover the necessary outlay to have a decent place to rehome, but to build their treasury. So many great Rescues, and so many GREAT foster homes, but there are those who are indeed, getting dogs to SELL.
