What is wrong with this picture?

I think some people don't know what CHARITY means, well here goes, it means we spend money on dogs and don't get the full amount back, we do this because we want to save lives and of course we love doing this. Why are you asking us to give our dog for free or reduce our rates? Obviously you haven't seen our vet bills to spay or neuter a dog and clean teeth or have some pulled out because they are rotten or even then - pay for shots, rabies, DHPP, dewormers, multi-advantage, hernia or cyst removals, etc... Oh, and don't forget the $50 walk-in fee to have a dog checked to see if he/she is healthy. Add this all up and we pay more than $675 for each adult dog that comes through our door, that is without teeth extractions or cleaning - just for regular visis, spay/neuter, dewormers, multi-advantage, rabies, DHPP and check ups. Yet we only charge $400 for our rescues and still have a few people daily wanting them for free! If that is the case, why come to a charity in the first place? Why not find your own free dog with issues or worms or fleas, not spayed with a hernia and very bad breath/teeth? Certainly because you don't want the extensive vet bill. If you have problems paying for our fee when our dog is completely vetted, what about food? What if something goes wrong, who will pay the future vet bills? You may want to wait until you are financially secure before getting a pet!!

Anyways, I'm venting but am tired of e-mails asking for free dogs or discounted rates, we spend a lot of money on our rescues. This not including food, treats, training, etc... Don't even get me started on administrative fees such as hydro, phone bill which by the way does NOT come out of NARC account but actually my personal account to help NARC stay in business... Our dogs are special because they have survived and have found their way into our home/rescue. Even when NARC has no funds, our volunteers will donate to help cover the veterinary cost for these lovely beings. Quite amazing to have people pay for dogs that don't belong to them and not ask anything in return!
