I paid $300 for Gizz, with the crate and a leash and cushion and shots and stuff included. We got him through rescue and he was transported from Michigan to a nearby state about 3 hours away where we picked him up.
Our lives have never been the same. He is my soul mate, and my only regret is that dogs don't live nearly long enough as I can't imagine my life without him.
I'd definitely go through rescue again. Our home is blessed with him.
We knew we were getting a special needs dog and did it deliberately, and we knowingly went into the 4-figure mark having tests done on him to make sure he didn't have hip dysplasia or a spinal problem before we got him his wheelchair. Then the $500 for his wheelchair. He is SUCH a happy guy.
Now he flirts with me daily, has a ramp that leads up/down to our bed (not for use with his wheelchair) or the couch, and he has about 30 coats and shirts, 3 dog siblings to play with (and a cat), but he truly has no clue he's one of them. He was raised as an orphan by a very nice woman when rescued from a puppy mill and he seems to connect more with people.
He owns the house. We just pay the mortgage, lol. |  |  |  |  |
