Many people think they can just go to an animal shelter and get pets for nothing. They only case I'm aware this happens is the "senior to senior" program at the County shelter where senior citizens can adopt senior animals at no charge. Below is a screen shot of the county shelter fees for adoption (which I think are extravagant). At privately run kennels it may be even more. There are frequent ads an TV for a "clear the shelters" blurb, but at those prices - good luck - when people right now are having serious financial trouble and are struggling for basic necessities.
They even charge surrender fees (when you bring an aninal in to leave there).
