14. Oftentimes, the vet will call a rescue like mine.
We've taken in a LOT of animals that folks couldn't afford to put back together. The vet does the surgery or whatever after the folks sign the dog over. They charge us the lowest they can (they make that same offer to the owners, too, we're not special) in hopes we'll rehab the animal and find him/her a new home. Vets can be some of the most wonderful people.

And don't tell anyone this, but...we've been known to "adopt" that animal back to his/her family if it's best for the dog/people. It's the right thing to do all around. But shhhhhhhh, please, keep that under your hat.
