Well... they say that you should make people pay some money so you know they're not going to just throw them in the trash or something. It applies to all animals as an "adoption fee". We're not trying to make money off them. We just want them to have a good home. If you feel like they should cost more then feel free to offer!
But yeah, we got too many animals going on in here so they're the first choices to go.
No, they don't smell bad. It's more musky then stinky. They like water, especially the boy. He would just lay in there and let you wash him and enjoy it. Once he gets used to the water that is. They get in and splash around in the dog's water dish so letting them have a baby pool would be fun to watch.
