2 Free Rescued Puppies in Cumming, GA

Beauties both of them. As for adoption fees, if you don't feel comfortable with keeping the money, you could always donate that money to a rescue orginization. (Forgot who mentioned it to me about donating the money.)

Just a thought. Good luck and let us know what's going on.

why would a person use the dog as bait, if they can get a free dog just as easily? That is the thinking behind it.

The research labs buy the dogs for $50, so people who gather them need to get them for free to make any money.

and honestly, having sold pets for nearly a decade, sadly people don't put value on free animals like they do animals that cost money, even if its not much.

I totally agree.

If a person feels "wrong" or uncomfortable taking peoples money they could always have the adoption fee donated to a local humane society or rescue. That way people know they aren't out looking for cash and they can feel more confident that a pet will go to a good home. It is true that pets that are given away for free could end up being used for animal testing, and if not still have a higher chance of being "discarded" or re-homed.

Wonder what ever happened to these two darlings. I hope they got good homes and are together. They really did look like identical twins!
