    How long ago was it that you paid $10 for a dog from the RSPCA

   Other animal shelter prices are in the same price range, may be
$20 lower but that is all,

   I am sorry that you think this way.
   I have already put a message on regarding the mistake in
my husband's arithmetic,

  PS I do not like dogs being dumped etc any more than you do.
  I found a young doberman a couple of years ago,   People had bought
it as a pet from one of the animal shelters, the shelter I gave it to
got in touch with the one that sold the dog,  and got the  owners
address   they did not even bother to claim him   Fortunately he was
nearly if not a pure bred doberman and the second group go a home for
him.'
