Pet expenses don’t stop with adoption
In response to “Adopting a dog is expensive” (Letters, April 28.) If a person can’t afford to adopt a dog from the shelter, how are they going to pay for annual vet exams and vaccinations? To spay or neuter their dog? For emergency treatments? Obedience classes, while extremely affordable, do cost. How about heartworm medicine and quality food? Oh, wait. I know. They won’t take them for their yearly shots. They won’t have them spayed or neutered. They won’t bother with heartworm medicine or quality dog food.
