Mod's Note:

Threadstarter has not complied to requests to provide proof of veterinary expenses incurred for these dogs thereby he has no justification for charging a $250 adoption fee.

Threadstarter has also not provided proper info on how the $100 adoption fee will be donated. Threadstarter has acknowledged my requests on his other thread therefore he cannot claim ignorance.

No action was taken by threadstarter to comply even after more than adequate time was given.

Thread is hereby moderated and closed.

Any members who see this user posting similar adoption threads with fees attached kindly help to report thanks.

Further Notes:

Private rescues of strays are an exception to the 'no adoption fee' rule however the following must be undertaken by posters before it can be deemed justifiable to charge any adoption fees:

1) Any fees charged for 'veterinary/health/treatment expenses' incurred by rescuer for the animal must be justified with proof of scanned vet receipts and veterinary report. Reports are easily obtainable from the clinic's reception counter and these will show proper details of the dog's treatments/ailments etc.

If for microchip/vaccination expenses a scan of the microchip certificate/vaccination card must be posted.

2) Any other fees (for reasons of deterrence of resellers etc) must be openly stated on the first post of the thread that it will be donated to an animal rescue organisation of adopter's choice. A note must be made that adopters should pay the fee in the form of a crossed cheque made payable to the name of the animal shelter.

Fees should not be given in cash.

3) Exception to the above are members who post on behalf of animal shelters / rescue organisations but a link to the official webpage / facebook of animal shelter / rescue organisation must be provided.
