Card Heart The REAL price of a puppy???

The upfront cost for a medium-size dog can run from zero ("Mom, he followed me home . . .") to hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a purebred. For most people, though, the costs really begin after little Beauregard is part of the family.

You should figure on "capital" expenditures of about $270, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a sum that includes collars, leashes, carriers and the price of neutering or spaying your pet. Annual costs run an average of $620, which covers $310 for a year's supply of premium-brand kibble, $175 for medical care, $15 for a license and $120 or so for miscellaneous costs, toys and treats.

Given that a medium-size dog lives an average of 15 years, that would add up to a total cost of $9,570, or about $1.75 a day for unconditional love and all the poop you can scoop.

I wish more people would think of all this - we live in the country, on a small farm, and I can guarntee we will have a puppy or dog dropped off in the middle of the night at least once or twice a month, right now we have a beagle, dropped off 1/2 starved, and desperate for attention! We feed them, fatten them up and if their nicely tempered we find homes for them. My 5 year old was attacked by a neighbor's dog awhile back, so if the ones who come here show any type of aggrection - I call the dog pound.

Please think before you get an animal - I can't keep taking care of the ones people don't want!
