OP comes to /r/dalmatians to show off their new pup, users debate the semantics of "adopt" vs "shop" and the ethics surrounding backyard breeding.
"So what the dog should be put down?"
"Do you mean bought, or you found at a rescue?"

Don't you normally pay at adoptions, too? I thought you pay ahead of time for vaccinations and offset the costs to keep the dog alive to that point. With high end breeds, a fee to make sure you aren't a hiphop enthusiast

Yes, and they're often not cheap.
No it's not, it's money to pay the shelter. The people working there like making money too and that's what they make money on.
I have friends who sometimes foster animals from shelters. One time they were fostering a cat. This means they were paying to feed and care for a cat (including vet bills) for the shelter all entirely free, but when they decided they wanted to adopt the cat they were foster, the shelter shook them down for like a $250 adoption fee. Obviously none of that money goes to the fosters.
