How Much Are Rehoming Fees for Dogs? (A Simple Guide)
Okay, so I've been digging into this whole "rehoming fee" thing for dogs, and let me tell you, it's a bit of a mixed bag. I needed to rehome my aunt's dog, so started my research from scratch.
First, I tried to understand what's even the point of this fee. Turns out, it's not about making a profit, it is about covering some costs.
Then I started looking around at what other people were charging. Seems like most folks are asking somewhere in the $25 to $100 range. Pretty wide range, huh?
What I Checked
- Vaccination Records: I gathered all the paperwork for my aunt's dog's shots.
- Spay/Neuter Status: Yep, my aunt's dog was already "fixed," so I noted that down.
- Other Costs: I also considered microchipping costs and other things.
After gathering all the info, I figured a fair price, considering the dog was healthy and well-behaved.I didn't want to scare anyone away, I set the fee at the lower end of average of what I learned.
Finally, I made it clear in the advertisement that it's not price for sale, the fee was simply to cover some of the basics to ensure a good home for the dog.
I really hope this practical record helps anyone else about to go through the same!
