and still on dogs
Animal rescue charities that require a donation to adopt a dog
currently €120 in Limerick
its not a donation if its not voluntary
they are selling dogs, and at christmas too.
Stop calling it a donation
its a sale
Technically you are correct as you are paying money to receive a dog, but this only barely covers the cost of having kept them boarded and fed for whatever amount of time they were there, worming, micro-chipping and vaccinating which is pretty standard now as well as a lot of places doing neutering/vouchers for neutering before you get them. They are hardly turning a profit. Anybody who knows the level of care and expense required for a healthy dog will recognise this as actually relatively cheap. My rescues were all pretty much "side of the road" jobs and I was out the door neutering/chipping/vacc'ing etc and would have jumped at the chance to pay 120 quid all in. It's the ones selling "purebreds" from the boot of a car who can no longer be contacted when the pup bleeds out from parvo and dies that I'd have more of an issue with

When I lived in the Geordie shore replica house, my landlord had two huskys. Mama husky was on her 10th litter of pups. She was so emancipated she didn't look pregnant when she dropped her 5 pups (very small litter for a husky). The morning after they were born she left them to go looking for food. I was on my way to work, her owner was gone to work, and she was obviously hungry. I rang him to see where her food was, he told me she was fed yesterday and didn't need to be fed again. There was no food.
So, I made her a person breakfast, rice, and whatever meat I could find in the fridge.
That night, he still hadnt fed the dogs, she was sitting howling in the garden away from her newborns. I couldn't take it anymore, and I went to tesco and got a big bag of nuts and some wet dog food and liver.
The male was so hungry he ate 2 full pots of nuts. They didn't even have bowls. I had to use one of the pots.
The next day I was carrying in those Chubb rolls (wet food in plastic) and I dropped one out of my car. She picked it up, ran and ate it through the plastic.
It soon became my responsibility to feed them. Not that he did it much before but he didn't do it at all when he saw I was buying the food. I wormed the pups, I wormed the parents.
I was away for the weekend and came back one Sunday, and the dogs were down the bottom of the garden rooting through rubbish that was still burning looking for scraps.
Then when the pups were 2 months old he started playing with them for videos for Facebook, and taking photos of them for done deal. He was selling them 350 a pup.0 -
