I thought for sure YOU WERE TRYING TO CHARGE HIM for taking the dog. He wants to charge you? Tell him to eat a dick.

If I couldn't keep my dog I would pay for someone willing to take good care of it.

Re-homing fees also weed out assholes. If you aren’t willing to sacrifice some cash for a dog, you most likely won’t take care of it when it needs you.

Just tell the dog owner that you're not about to pay a fee for a dog you're just going to use as a Satanic sacrifice.

I went though this when getting a dog awhile back. People have gotten ridiculous with the rehoming fee stuff. I got a pup and it was $150 rehoming fee.

I didn’t mind too much because he had already done two rounds of shots and vet visits, but I don’t understand the logic of charging a fee because you’re a cheap arse who didn’t research how much dogs cost to own. It’s not the buyer’s responsibility to offset your poor financial decision.

I am clearly too biased as a dog lover, but I could absolutely never do this.

My dog is a part of my family. I wouldn't move anywhere he couldn't come with me.

This. I get paying a rehoming fee to a person who takes in rescue dogs and pays for their medical needs before they are adopted out but a fee for a friend who is essentially dumping their dog b/c they are moving? That's a bit messed up IMO.

He probably wants to make the person show some financial commitment that truly shows they want the dog. A lot of people would want the dog if it were free and it could go to a less than desirable home.


Yep. I see this a lot on Craigslist. I guess people want to make sure you put a financial investment into the dog (or cat) so the animal doesn't end up as Pitbull bait.

Seems kind of BS for a friend to be asking for one though., unless he's worried that you might end up giving it away to some less desirable (not your brother) down the line after he moves.

Typically, if you are giving a mix breed away, you pay the person to take it.

I was thinking that this was a dog coming from a shelter. That makes sense because I'm pretty sure they are usually non-profits, and they are just trying to cover expenses of operation. This dude is really weird and comes across as kind of shady, imo. I don't get it either.

That makes sense if you run a shelter or something, but if you are giving the dog to someone you already know then one would think that you already have some idea of their character. Then asking for a fee makes it seem like you are just trying to squeeze some money out of them. It's weird.

First of all, the guy is a liar. frick him and his dog. Second, are you sure your brother shouldn’t get a dog for himself? Does he even want one? That’s a huge responsibility. If he still lives at home, are your parents ok with this? Buying a pet dog for another person seems like something only parents should do for their kids.

This honest to God may be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. He knows the guy and is going him a favor by taking the dog he no longer wants. The "friend is just trying to make a quick hundo.

Again, just to reiterate, this is fricking retarded. Now we are saying just because you won't shell out a hundred bucks for no reason you can't take care of a dog? I swear I don't know how some of you don't kill yourselves trying to brush your teeth (or tooth for a lot of you).
