However, there are several factors to take into account. For example, if it's a younger dog (which it should be at this price) and it's been neutered, given all its shots, healthchecked, microchipped, etc... if you add up what it would cost you to do all this yourself, it would easily be more. Even the neutering, if done right, would include blood tests, and that's over $100 right there (this is mainly to make sure the dog would survive the operation). Also, you won't have nasty "surprises" like people do when they dont' go through rescue groups. By this I mean heartworms, parvo, etc....and this can run into the thousands. Add in the crate and it's really a good deal. You're also, of course, supporting a great cause. Any profit they make will go to help dogs in need. I agree it seems high.

These are expensive dogs, and someone would be glad to pay $600 for one.. this helps the rescue off-set the costs of rescuing other dogs that may be in poor health and wont be as easy to adopt out. adoption fees vary among rescues..
