OK, we had a pure breed adaple dockson that we got a few years ago and when I moved we were unable to take him with us. My family hated the idea of letting him go because he was a good dog. We went to the shelter to surrender him as a woman and her daughters were walking in looking for a dog. They asked us about if we had just got him and we were like were here to surrender him. I mean even the shelter didn't really want him in fear of kennel cough and he could of gotten sick. So we just gave him to the woman and her daughters we didn't even ask for money for him just a good home. If your calling $900 a loss try $1,500 that's how much we paid to get him but that meant nothing to us as long as he went to a good home which is all that really matters. I haven't gotten a new dog cause I'm not sure where I'll be in the next few months and don't wanna move constantly with the dog.
