Poor Annabelle was rescued from a municipal shelter on the day she was to be put to sleep. If she could only speak our language...what a story she would tell. This poor sweet girl was near death from lack of food and water as you can see. Save-A-Pet will nurse her back to health and find her a happy home. After all isn't that what we all want? We have uploaded a recent photo of our Annabelle you can really see what a little bit of love can do! We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-3000 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
