So true!! I agree with you. I have a cat; the basics add up. The cuteness of the pet is worth it though. Just saying…..
I fostered large dogs for years before adopting my German Shepard , she suffers from stress and anxiety and is on medication which is a bit pricy , she also looses lots fur and I have to vacuum daily . I live alone as an older single woman and I feel safer having her here , and she gives me unconditional love . Another thing I did before I fostered the dogs , I used to house sit other peoples pets in their homes , I would charge them a small amount daily , I used their services , electricity , gas and their leftover refrigerator food , this helped me save money , I used to leave fresh bread and milk for when they got home .
Our humane society charges $650 dollars and more for a dog. They are making it pretty unaffordable to adopt.
I’m in total agreement about not buying a pet from a breeder! If you see any posts on social media about the thousands and thousands of animals that have suffered and they’re in a shelter that has given them great Medical Care to get their health back and now they’re waiting for a good home, that should wake you up to the fact that there are a lot of pets that are available for a fairly low cost. I personally am totally against breeding dogs for profit although I know people like certain breeds for their family especially for dogs. Also I have an elderly friend who is living only on about 1,200 Social Security and she very foolishly came up with $400 to buy a dog several years ago, after her other dog had died. I had helped her to keep her other dog alive but she didn’t tell me that she bought this other dog and while I understood that she was lonely, it really upset me of course. Mainly because she paid good money for this dog instead of going to a shelter and maybe paying $40 instead of $400. Also the dog is very difficult and she has not been able to have him neutered so he’s a little bit aggressive and very difficult to handle. She loves them dearly and she’s extremely lonely so it helps her . I think a lot of elderly people do need a pet.
cheapest way to save money on pets, is say you have the biggest dog breed possible and get first time % of your first box usually its like 50 -60% of your first box. and then you have food for months depending on how small your dog is.
