How much did ALL your furbabies cost you and where did you get them, starting with your dogs ofcourse!!

Feora-lab/golden mix was free. I found her in an ad.

Ocean-great dane/golden mix was free. She was given to me by a friend.

Sassy-shetland pony was $3000. + all her bills to get better. She was a rescue and was still sick.

Gypsy-shetland/mini mix was free. Well sort of free, Sassy turned out being pregnant when we got her.

Jordan-holland rabbit was $5dollars at the feed store

Coockie Dough-fuzzy lop rabbit was $20. at the local 4-H fair show.

Hermit crab #1- $5 at the mall

Hermit crab#2- $10 at the mall

Rocky- placostamis fish (spelled way wrong, LOL, sound it out) was $20. He is HUGE!! from a pet store that is no longer open

Spotty and shadow-my daughters gold fish that help her not think of the "monsters" at night because she watches them instead, spotty was $2. and Shadow $5, they were at wallmart

Bella was free, got her from a friend. She was already spayed and UTD on shots so the only money we've spent on her is $100 for eye infection and flea treatment. Other than food and toys of course.

Roxy was my wedding gift from my parents. Of course they asked if we wanted a pug and let us pick her out. They didn't just say "surprise! Here's a dog!"

I got Pearl from my Grandma. Pearl had been really attached to my grandfather. But when he passed away she didn't want anything to do with anyone except for me. So eventually my Grandma asked if I would like to have her.

Penny was adopted from the SPCA. A friend of mine was her foster mom and really wanted to make sure she found the right home. She knew Penny would be a good fit so kind of convinced me to take her. She even paid Penny's adoption fee. We went in to sign the adoption papers and to pay the fee and they told us that it was already paid for. We ended up giving the SPCA a $100 donation instead.

LeRoy came from a breeder. He has too much of an underbite (his lower teeth stick out just a bit) so he can't be shown. We actually got him for free. They just wanted a good home for him.

I found Carrot (my bunny) through an ad in the paper. I paid a $10 adoption fee for her.

As far as costs with our current pets, its really just been the normal costs you would expect for a pet. Food, ctraes, toys, veterinary care.

We did have a large mixed breed, we named Cooper. He had been abandoned in the middle of winter in the middle of nowhere (no houses withing 15 miles in any direction). We had him for just under a year and he cost close to $2000 in vet bills (mostly in the last month) and then another $100 for cremation after we had to PTS (last October) because of liver cancer.

Emmy- $200 adoption fee (thousands after :P)
Rainier- free from friend giving him up (at least a couple thousand after. This one was kinda exhausting, yeesh!)
Toadie/Asher- Technically they had a free adoption fee, but BF gave a donation to the shelter of like $40 or something.
Fish Tank- Multiple hundred to set up and get supplies for (my Betta was free from a friend's college)
Greta- Free, my neighbor found her at the entrance to our neighborhood.
